Public Global Warming denial used to be a big deal, but it has come way, way down, from a majority to maybe 20 or 35% worldwide. It depends on how you count. Corporate and government denial are still with us, as you can see yet again, down at the bottom of this post.
Chinese firm announces new tech that could completely transform future vehicles — here are the details
Battery giant CATL has created technology that could make charging your electric car nearly as quick as pumping gas, InsideEVs reported.
Their latest lithium-iron phosphate battery delivers hundreds of miles of driving range after just five minutes connected to a charger, surpassing rival BYD's fast-charging innovation. This second-generation Shenxing battery charges quickly, with impressive technical capabilities.
"This new 12C battery can add 2.5 kilometers of range per second, allowing drivers to get 323 miles of range in just five minutes of charging — more than BYD's 248 miles in around the same time," InsideEVs noted.
The technology performs impressively in cold conditions, maintaining quick charging abilities even when temperatures drop to 14 degrees Fahrenheit.
That kind of fast charging is one of those ideas that lots of people get at the same time when conditions ripen.
Wind power tourism is clearly not something that will appeal to the whole population, just like everything else—sports, foods, different kinds of music…But we can't complain about who does like it.

🔥 Air Source Heat Pumps at IKEA? Yes, really.
IKEA has just launched a partnerships to roll out affordable systems across Europe.
While they’re not yet available in the UK 🇬🇧, this is a major step in the mainstream adoption of heat pumps, and a clear signal of where the future is headed.

Greenwashing update: Meet the new "Green" & "Clean" fuel source.
“Rebranding” methane as “renewable” and “clean”.
One bar graph can change minds. Plus, GOP turns against green energy
Republicans have soured on green energy
While wind and solar power remain broadly popular, support for these energy sources has slipped since Trump’s first term, driven by a sharp decline among Republicans and GOP-leaning voters, according to new data from the Pew Research Center.
Since 2020, Republican support for expanding solar has dropped from 84% to 61%, and for wind power from 75% to just 48%.
Trump Issues Orders to Quadruple Nuclear Power Capacity in the U.S.
Not a chance. He won’t be able to get that many plants engineered and permitted in the rest of his term. Never mind getting them built.
We interrupt the Musk-Trump feud with a teensy bit of news from the climate front
Atmospheric CO2 hits 430 ppm.
Shiny new AI contradicts EPA chief's do-nothing climate change stance
Zeldin’s main goal is to “drive a dagger through the heart of climate change religion.”
“Climate change is real and is supported by a vast body of scientific evidence,” the AI program said in a statement obtained by E&E News. “It refers to significant and lasting changes in the Earth’s climate, particularly an increase in global temperatures, largely due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation and industrial processes.”
Denial and Obstruction
Public Global Warming denial used to be a big deal, but it has come way, way down, from a majority to maybe 20 or 35% worldwide. It depends on how you count.
Denying science no longer works, so the federal government is pretending the climate crisis doesn’t exist at all.

That’s because the budget bill making its way through Congress, if passed in its current form, eviscerates federal support for renewable energy, electric vehicle tax credits and EV charging infrastructure–and all the jobs they’ve created.

The U.S. Department of Energy #DoE cancelled a $12.6 million grant for a floating wind turbine off the Gulf of Maine. This is part of a larger pattern of Trump cancelling #windenergy projects across the US.

#GreenEnergyCon wind farms being paid not to provide green electricity, whilst fossil fuel power stations are paid more to provide electricity at the same time. When will the UK fix infrastructure to reverse this & use more green than fossil fuel ?? www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdedjnw8e85o
