Overlooked #hydrogen #emissions are #heating #Earth and supercharging #methane
New #research shows rising hydrogen emissions since 1990 have indirectly intensified #climatechange and amplified the impact of methane. Limiting #leaks from future hydrogen #fuel projects and cutting methane emissions will be key to securing benefits from hydrogen as a clean-burning #alternative to #oil and #gas.

Funnily enough we have air quality sensors that clearly indicate that we shouldn’t fly at all

I mean yes #China is a terrible #authoritarian hellhole where a single political party oppresses all dissent.
But the fact that the country went from zero to over 70% (~50,000 km) of all globally operated high-speed rail in only two decades begs the question: What the F is everyone else doing?!?
(Yes, I'm looking at you @EUCommission and @Bundesregierung)

AP photographers capture destruction, heartache and resilience as climate change advanced in 2025
#Climate #ClimateCrisis #Photography #Environment #Biodiversity
The "Doomsday Glacier" in Antarctica is rapidly destabilizing. A new study shows cracks in its eastern ice shelf have grown for 20 years, weakening its anchor to an underwater ridge. This is accelerating ice flow into the ocean, raising major concerns for future sea-level rise.

While many people are winding down for the holidays, the Luxon Government has quietly put a “for sale” sign up on Aotearoa’s most precious land.

Economic growth no longer linked to carbon emissions in most of the world, study finds
The once-rigid link between economic growth and carbon emissions is breaking across the vast majority of the world, according to a study released ahead of Friday’s 10th anniversary of the Paris climate agreement.
(We’ve known this for awhile, but it’s nice to see further confirmation)

The far right is promoting two contradictory things that add up to a really disturbing conclusion:
- Immigration must be stopped by all means
- No action should be taken against climate crisis
Contradiction is this: the climate crisis will make large areas of Africa uninhabitable, massive numbers of people would be forced to move.
The numbers involved would be much larger than anything currently. Quite how the far right would try to stop people fleeing is disturbingly unclear. We know what happened next when Jewish refugees were turned away in the 1930s 😞

“Spain is to set up a national network of climate shelters in public buildings to offer people refuge from intense heat before next summer, its prime minister has announced.” #ClimateCrisis

So @EUCommission president #VonDerLeyen has caved into pressure from the German #CDU #CSU government and car industry: She proposed yesterday to axe her own #GreenDeal flagship that was supposed to end the sales of combustion engine cars by 2035.
Her unconvincing blah blah press release blathers of #innovation, #CleanMobility and #competitiveness in order to hide what it really is: a subsidy for #FossilFuel billionaires paid for with the #health of our children.
