Is accepting the Earth is round also an ideology Angus?
Climate change isn’t a worldview or a belief system - it’s a fact.

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth.
Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why.

Monique Ryan rips shreds off Pauline Hanson for attacking her rivals with violent & misogynistic cartoons. Says it’s time media stop ‘giving a public voice’ to someone who spreads so much negative trash.💯

Historic: Solar alone has become China’s #1 power source by capacity: 1,286 GW vs coal’s 1,285 GW
Coal led by 300 GW at end-2024. Solar erased that deficit in 19 months, even as China kept building coal
Nameplate is captured. Displacing coal's actual TWh is next: unstoppable

What most people don't know: when you fill up a petrol car most of the energy never moves it.
Petrol car: 13–21% of the crude oil's energy reaches wheels.
Electric car on today's UK grid: 43–45%.
Electric car on wind+solar: 77–80%.

The Amazon is on the ballot when Brazil picks its president next Sunday
>On its own, the Amazon rainforest may survive 3-5°C of warming
>With deforestation, its point of no return drops to 1.5-1.9°C
>We’re basically already there today
>The good news: deforestation in Brazil’s Amazon is down 4 years in a row, to its 3rd-lowest level in 38 years
Cutting down trees is something we can stop fast. But not with the wrong president

Not one of the 16 graphs showing Earth's planetary vital signs is moving in the right direction. Instead, they all point to an acceleration of global climate breakdown: Greenhouse gases, ocean heat, and sea levels are surging, while glaciers, ice sheets, and reflectivity plunge. 7 vital signs are at record extremes.
This is not a warning for the future, it is a diagnosis of the present
Phase out fossil fuels now
