“After increasing by more than 20% in the 2000s, CO2 emissions today are a mere 3% higher than they were in 2013. This plateau has been driven in part by a rapid expansion of clean energy globally, with spending on clean energy rising from around $600 billion in 2020 to $2.3 trillion in 2025.”

Enormous unanticipated benefits to #Auspol and households from @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social‘s highly successful home battery program + policy of free electricity during solar peak (11am-2pm).
My own post-battery ⚡️ bill has gone to zero, incl charging a new EV!👍💚⚡️😎

Australia's huge and growing fleet of home batteries are delivering "enormous benefits" to grid, even without being connected to VPPs, AEMO chief says.

Record winter temperatures in Antarctic raise fears over speed of climate breakdown
I was just forced to resign from my job at NASA JPL!! Here's my latest Substack post about it... please subscribe to me over there, It's the main place I communicate from

Temperatures above 15C ‘very strange’ say scientists, as snow melts and rain falls on glaciers in usually frozen region
Temperatures in the Antarctic reached above 15C this month, shattering the previous winter heat record for the usually frozen region and raising concerns about the speed of climate breakdown.
The new winter peak temperature was logged by the Argentinian Esperanza base on the Trinity peninsula on 6 June, amid a protracted heatwave, when the maximum daily temperature exceeded zero degrees for three consecutive weeks. Continue reading...

A clever new paper used the selective rollout of the iPhone on AT&T to show that it appears to have accounted for between a third and half of the fall in the birth rate in the U.S. between 2007 and 2011.
Second paper reproduced the effect worldwide:

Researchers and policymakers have been scrambling to pinpoint why exactly birth rates are falling in the U.S. and around the world.
A while back an amazing battery announcement caught the attention of many people outside the clean tech, new energy, EV bubble.
Donut labs, a startup in Finland had cracked the code and built truly incredible solid state batteries.
I'm proud to say I was skeptical.

A detailed investigation confirms Donut Lab's 'solid-state' battery is actually a lithium-ion cell, with over 20 experts and electrochemical data proving the claims were false.
