My statement on the outcome of #COP29: While the agreement reached at COP29 avoids immediate failure, it is far from a success. On the key issues like climate finance and the transition away from fossil fuels, this is — yet again — the bare minimum. We cannot continue to rely

NEW 🧵: Is human intelligence starting to decline? Recent results from major international tests show that the average person’s capacity to process information, use reasoning and solve novel problems has been falling since around the mid 2010s. What should we make of this?

More amazing stuff from John Gedmark and the Astranis Space Technologies team!

Solar will win. It's physics.

In April, 10% of monthly global electricity came from solar for the first time🌞

Kenya is playing a pivotal role in Africa's climate action, including rallying the continent in seeking ways of rolling back the effects of climate change. With huge assets in renewable energy reserves, a youthful workforce and a large market of 1.4 billion people, Africa

Chinese companies installed 93 GW of solar and 27 GW of wind in a single month in May. That's about 230 million solar panels and 5300 wind turbines. That's almost 100 solar panels every second, and a wind turbine every 10 minutes.

Don't be fooled by those calling for "climate realism." It’s nothing more than denial disguised as pragmatism. In reality, we not only have a moral obligation to solve the climate crisis, we have the tools we need to act now. Check out my latest TED Talks ted.com/talks/al_gore_…

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

INTRODUCING A NEW TOOL: Visualize the air pollution impacting 1.6 billion people in over 2,500 urban areas from the world’s top emitters of climate- and health-harming pollution. Make the connection at ClimateTRACE.org/air-pollution. Al Gore

As fossil fuel facilities continue to spew more and more heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the sky, they also spread massive amounts of disease-causing particulate co-pollution into the communities where they’re located — killing almost 9 million people every year. The

There are a lot of things I agree with in Bill Gates' new climate memo, but I think it sets up a false dichotomy between reducing emissions and helping the world's poorest. I've put together a piece with my thoughts over at TCB: theclimatebrink.com/p/on-the-gates…
