Pollution may have shielded it from the worst of global warming. That will change https://t.co/zy1Ck0DSqI ...

Environmental Concerns & Climate Change - The industry acknowledges climate change as a major environmental problem and one of the greatest challenges facing humanity [3][4][5] - Scientific data leaves no room for doubt regarding climate change, with the global average temperature having increased by over 2 degrees Fahrenheit (more than 1 degree Celsius) [8][10] - The increase in temperature is primarily due to human activity [11] - Sea levels are rising, as demonstrated by various climate organizations [12] Renewable Energy & Industry Efforts - In 2024, clean energy sources surpassed 40% of global electricity production, including 15% from wind and solar, 14% from hydroelectric, and other clean energy sources [14] - Fossil fuels still constitute 59% of global electricity generation, but their share fell below 60% for the first time since the 1940s [15] - The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts that in 2025, all clean energy sources combined will exceed lignite (brown coal) in production [16] - Every kilowatt-hour of energy produced globally is becoming cleaner [17] Challenges & Future Outlook - Current efforts are insufficient to halt climate change, and none of the goals set in the 2015 Paris Agreement are achievable with the current rate of energy transition by 2050 [18] - The industry emphasizes the need for decisive action to limit the impacts of climate change and invest in a sustainable future [22][23]

The continent is both warming faster than most parts of the world and, compared with other rich regions, appears to be ill equipped to cope. Some cities are feeling the heat more than others https://t.co/ONPa7MNIdY ...

The collapse of a critical climate system could mean a sudden, severe cooling in Europe—even as the rest of the world keeps warming. We explain what this devastating scenario would look like https://t.co/9hAprUnHhs ...
