The other day, I decided to conduct an experiment. I set a timer for 3 hours and counted how many times I was publicly shamed here on twitter during that time. The answer? 12. And since then I've counted dozens of examples of others being shamed, as well. (thread)

How does the global debt crisis impede climate action? Three charts help tell a crucial story the world is missing: #1) solar projects need MUCH higher returns to be commercially viable in countries with lower credit ratings - and hence higher cost of capital ..../n

"To have, or not to have- that is the question", like Hamlet faced the dilemma on minerals. Geological survey of Finland (GTK) and their A/Prof S. Michaux faced too, and answered: “World doesn’t have enough mineral reserves for the energy transition” What's that all about?🧵

Michaux's report is not science either (it would not pass peer review) so it's not rebutted in a journal. But Visa Siekkinen just wrote a detailed debunk: x.com/visaskn/status… I encourage you to read it in its entirety (50 tweets) because it's a treasure trove of corrected errors.

How Twitter has changed. In the past I would get responses engaging with my content from a range of perspectives. Now almost all responses I get are from accounts bashing clean energy and climate policy. This tweet is an example of that.

The German Liberal Party is now tweeting that E-Fuels are the "fastest way to reduce CO2 in the transport sector" This is *demonstrably false*, ask any expert in the field.

Erschreckender Beitrag über den Einfluss der Lobby der Leugner der #Klimakrise auf die deutsche Politik. Wer sich mit Fred Singer (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Sing…) auf ein Podium von EIKE (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europ%C3%…) setzt, kann gleich der AfD beitreten. 1/2 zdf.de/politik/fronta…

Die Sendung die #Anstalt hat gestern Klimaleugner-Netzwerke und den Einfluss der #EFuels-Lobby aufgegriffen. Dabei haben sie auch auf unsere Recherchen zurückgegriffen. Wer mehr Infos braucht, hier geht's zu zwei Quellen der Sendung 👇zdf.de/comedy/die-ans…

Agreeable opinion piece. Climate science skeptics with outsized influence due to positions of authority or wealth will need to be held accountable - like leaders of a suicide cult they are not merely victims of a delusional worldview but agents of misery. ft.com/content/bcc3e9…

When I post our Berkeley Earth global temperature record, I always get complaints that 1930s were really the warmest decade and our data is wrong. But while the summers in the 1930s were warm in the US, thats only 2% of the planet. Globally they were nothing compared to today:

Here I explain 14 years ago that drought in the Mediterranean results from our fossil CO2 emissions, in a lecture in Malaga (Spain). That was well-established robust science even back then in 2009. Nobody should be surprised by it now.

How can it be that citizens of a technologically advanced civilization like ours are seeing this chart for the first time?

The results from this YouGov Poll across 7 European countries (UK, France, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Spain and Italy) raise the question to what extent the scale and damage potential of the climate crisis is actually fully understood within large parts... tinyurl.com/mr9p2vp3

Decarbonisation will happen with or without the fossil fuel companies - whether that's in time for humanity to get through the challenges we know are coming remains to be seen. My piece in Al Jazeera English: aljazeera.com/opinions/2023/…

I've heard several people say that renewables are not driving an "energy transition". It's really just an "energy addition". This makes it sound like fossil fuels have been business-as-usual, and we've stuck renewables on top. I think there is a better way of framing this...🧵
