  The @financialtimes@flipboard.com rings in New York Climate Week with this front-page story: "US drivers face motor oil rationing as prices quadruple and supplies run dry" Yes, the only answer is to get off fossil fuels, all of them. Hormuz just made that even clearer: https://gwagner.com/nature-fossilflation #climate #nyc

  London has been London since it was Londinium some 2,000 years ago. It was built on clay soil then, and still is today. 5 successive heatwaves later, and that clay drying out so fast, it's leaving cracks all over: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-08-23/londoners-find-horrendous-cracks-in-homes-after-heat-waves @BloombergGreen@flipboard.com #climate #uk #london #energy

  The Iran War has once again led to a bout of what ECB board member Isabel Schnabel memorably dubbed 'fossilflation'. It's en vouge to talk about the solution as some massively complex undertaking. It really isn't. Get off fossil fuels faster. My latest just out @nature@sciencemastodon.com https://rdcu.be/fdxig #climate #iran #us #trump #oil #energy #inflation #economics

  One of the more ironic vestiges of the fossil fuel life: Snow covered in such an impenetrable layer of fossil fumes and other city gunk, it'll survive the next apocalypse. #nyc #climate

  Enshittification, recycling bin edition. Yep, it all goes into one trash bag. The worst part, of course, is the general cynicism this breeds. #recycling

  Keeping this for next time someone says "but the green premium." Or "sure, climate, but 'value' creation." Or "intermittency!" #oil #iran #us #climate #energy

  I'm no longer quite sure how to do this without just saying "Duh!" Yes, getting people to pay the "green premium" is sometimes tough. Guess what, the "security premium" is a lot higher. The answer for both climate and security — and for economic competitiveness, too — is to get off fossil fuels. True then, true now: https://gwagner.com/german-recovery #climate #eu #iran #germany

  *fossil energy crisis And yes, that means pushing EVs (and cycling, for that matter) to get off oil (even) faster, and pushing renewables and batteries and heat pumps and home retrofits and industrial electrification and … to get off gas. #energy #oil #iran #eu #climate

  Love how @grist writer @kateyoder uses this essay on "How the Trump administration’s climate math doesn’t add up" as an excuse to slay the age-old climate-vs-the-economy trope. Climate vs fossil-fueled profits? Of course. Climate vs economy? Nope. https://grist.org/economics/trump-administration-climate-economy-government-budget/ #climate #economy #Trump #us

  Perennial reminder: IKEA sells induction plates for $50. Cap the gas line, put the induction plate on top of the gas stove, and avoid spewing carcinogens into your home. Yes, you can also spend $5k on that beautiful high-end stove, while vying for that Michelin star. https://www.ft.com/content/14f6db0f-43a8-4bd3-baa5-4481e346a4d2 #gas #induction #energy #climate

  Remember how EVs could never compete because batteries didn't allow them to go far enough, because they couldn't be charged fast enough, because they were too expensive...? Funny how innovation works. https://electrek.co/2025/03/26/byds-new-1000-kw-ev-fast-chargers-are-ready-and-could-hit-china-as-early-as-next-week/ #ev #climate #tech
