Last year, 44% of the EU's electricity came from renewables, more than the share of fossil fuels. In 13 out of the 27 member states, its share was more than 50%.

Would ABC News run a tobacco CEO’s opinions as “analysis”?

The world - including Australia - agreed at COP last year to “transition away” from fossil fuels because they’re #1 cause of the climate crisis

Why is the ABC basing analysis on the views of one fossil fuel executive?

Every technology has its advantages and disadvantages.

The problem with nuclear is that it has one big disadvantage: cost.

the chair of great british nuclear Great British Nuclear says he is 'aiming to have the [UK's] first SMRs operational by the mid-2030s'.

so Peter Dutton hopes to build a UK SMR here before the UK builds its first UK SMR.

…yeah, that makes total sense… 🙄

It always astounds me in an era where basic research has never been easier that our vaunted press gallery couldn’t unearth this gem to challenge Dutton with. Literally a 2 second Google search

Australia is confronted by a climate & jobs crisis

Today The AMWU and CANA launched our report into renewable energy opportunities - showing the pathway to climate action & job creation

Australia can be more than a quarry, a farm & a nice place to visit

We can make it here

The ship has largely sailed on limiting warming to 1.5C at this point, barring us getting very lucky with low climate sensitivity or actively geoengineering the climate.

But there still are viable paths to limit warming to below 2C this century, as shown in the figure below:
