23:52 | For more than four years, Steve Koonin’s book ‘Unsettled’ has been cited by politicians, commentators and climate sceptics. But are his arguments relying on carefully selected facts, cherry-picked statistics and misleading comparisons?
16:05 | The next phase of the global energy transition will be transforming millions of EVs, heat pumps, batteries and smart devices into one intelligent energy system.
11:01 | Recent proposals affecting US climate monitoring programmes have raised serious concerns among researchers. So, what exactly is being lost. And what might the consequences be?
13:23 | In the next few years the planet now looks set to sail past the 1.5 degrees Celsius warming target set out in the Paris Agreement in 2015, and quite likely past the upper boundary of 2 degrees Celsius by 2050.
12:55 | Old coal mines could hold the key to one of the biggest challenges in the clean energy transition — long-duration energy storage.
14:55 | A wave of new climate research in 2026 is raising urgent questions about whether global warming is accelerating.
12:57 | New research suggests that large scale reforestation and afforestation along Canada’s boreal forest edge has the potential to remove billions of tonnes of CO₂.
14:28 | Are Small Modular Nuclear Reactors (SMRs) really moving toward large-scale deployment or are the economic challenges highlighted by critics still unresolved?
10:32 | A new research paper is proposing dumping large quantities of the northern boreal forests into the Arctic Ocean and then replanting them to capture a whole bunch of new CO2 from the atmosphere.
17:56 | Biofuels. Are they really a climate solution? Or are they quietly entrenching fossil fuel infrastructure for decades to come?
17:35 | Some technologies touted as climate ‘solutions’ are, in fact, designed to perpetuate fossil fuel dominance in our energy systems.
14:30 | Recent research shows that yields of our most important cereal crop – maize – could be down by as much as 24% by mid-century, by which time the human population will have grown by 2 BILLION people.
11:35 | The key question is not whether solar PV changes landscapes. They do. It’s how intelligently we design those systems to benefit local biodiversity as we scale up clean energy.
12:35 | Have the fossil fuel overlords finally wrestled back control? Is there any hope for a just renewable energy transition?
12:38 | Down in South America there is a quiet revolution going on in renewable power which could see that continent decarbonise far sooner than its northern neighbour.
11:27 | The US energy system has arguably never faced such an existential crossroads. As the rest of the world accelerates towards the inevitable clean transition, will America really allow itself to fall behind?
13:52 | Heat Pumps are the future of home heating. But until recently most companies have grossly over sized the Heat Pump systems they install…
14:39 | Fossil Fuel Carbon Capture and Storage yet again under-delivered in 2025.
12:35 | Now a new research paper published in the American Geophysical Union journal points out that there has been NO statistical reduction in Arctic Sea ice surface area for the last two decades! So what’s going on?
14:54 | The big boys of big oil, gas and coal are not so quick to point out the damage done by their own products…
17:59 | Wouldn’t it be better to accept the warming and adapt to a new world? This week’s video contains one or two thoughts on those suggestions!
17:59 | Wouldn’t it be better to accept the warming and adapt to a new world?
13:49 | Planet Earth has been warming at a rate of about 0.2 degrees Celsius per decade since the 1970’s. Recent record warm years have suggested that rate of change may have shifted in a very unwelcome direction.
13:08 | Communities all over the world have been badly affected by the closure of coal mines in recent years. But their proximity to grid connections and infrastructure make them ideal sites for new solar projects.
11:16 | There’s a big schism among energy system analysts right now.
16:49 | JP Morgan chase recently published a comprehensive climate report. Meanwhile the UK Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, who are financial risk managers, published their own analysis with a very different outlook.
13:51 | Adam Met is a climate campaigner and movement builder who just happens to also be the bass guitarist in the platinum selling indie band AJR. And now he has written the book on how activism can still be effective in a Trumpian world.
11:53 | In a video I posted on YouTube on Sunday 11th May 2025, I looked at a research paper challenging the established consensus climate science with specific regard to Greenhouse Gas accounting.
15:48 | (Since this video was posted on 11th May 2025, I have received very robust challenges from people who I know and trust in the climate science community about the veracity of the paper featured.)
14:39 | A brand new research paper suggests the very first day when we could see an ice-free Arctic Ocean might be less than FIVE years away.
12:40 | The current US administration wants to ‘DRILL BABY DRILL’. Trouble is, all the real world data says that’s completely the wrong economic direction to go in.
11:25 | Now a new report has crunched some numbers and calculated the climate mitigation potential of all those unused roofs around the world.
13:39 | Recent studies have shown Carbon Capture and Storage and Carbon Dioxide Removal to be a completely false economy and yet another ruse by the fossil fuel industry.
12:28 | Modern climate models are incredibly sophisticated machines. But they’re still not able to accurately reflect what’s actually going on in the real world.
11:14 | The Arctic region is warming between 3 and 7 times faster than the global average and it’s carbon is escaping into our atmosphere.
12:10 | Donald Trump has signed executive orders designed to dismantle the Inflation Reduction Act.
