The call for climate action in Europe is a demand made on behalf of an unclear constituency. Who exactly is being damaged by the changing climate? #ClimateAction

Since I first started following renewables and grid interconnection issues almost 30 years ago, very little has changed. Mostly because there's so little money in the transmission business. #ClimateAction

Climate problems aren't just doom and gloom, they're also full of politics! (maybe that's the same thing?) If you want to learn more about climate and politics around it, I've got a (free) twice weekly newsletter that covers it all.

From interview with leading climate negotiations researcher, Carola Klöck: "climate finance has become so central…Now, I think it’s even more prominent because we don’t have that much agreement making any more in the negotiations." #ClimateAction

It's here: my annual presentation on decarbonization.
There is a lot going on, and I attempt to capture it in 200 slides. Ocean heat content, deforestation, fund performance, vehicle efficiency, lighting technology, GLP-1 agonists, and much more. nathanielbullard.com/present…
New in Heat Rising: The climate fight is about money, not ideology. And U.N. leadership is telling us we need trillions of dollar a year to get it done. heatrising.net/stiell-outlin…
