Comprehensive survey of methane emissions from US oil & gas shows leakage is - enough to meet annual energy needs of *more than half American homes* - 4x more than estimated by regulators - 50x levels companies said they'd emit under voluntary agreement ft.com/content/58e7a2…

Important and influential role advertised here in the climate/enviro space. Key for shaping government thinking over coming parliament.

Bad news for gas networks: boilers in German new builds went from 25% market share in 2021 to 5% market share in 2024. How long until the same happens for retrofits? HT Pieter de Pous

In 2021, the chance of 40C heat in the UK by 2040 was estimated at 0.02% Yet in 2022, multiple regions hit 40C This is one example of a systematic underestimation of climate risks in the UK and internationally Important new report from Paul Behrens scientistswarningeurope.org.uk/cost-of-living

Here's how wind generation looked at the time of the new 22,523MW record Amazing to see the record beaten by nearly 300MW in just a few days, but not amazing to see so many curtailed (purple) wind farms in Scotland. We would have seen a 25,000MW record with less curtailment…
