Earth’s energy imbalance has doubled, and as long as more heat enters the Earth system than leaves it, temperatures will continue to rise. Until we bring the planet back into balance – by drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions and ultimately reaching net zero – that heat will keep building. theconversation.com/earths-e… via @ConversationUK

Trump believes climate change is a “hoax,” and he and his Big Oil friends want more fossil fuel and carbon emissions. Meanwhile, the planet is warming at dangerous levels and Europe is facing a record-breaking heatwave. We must break our fossil fuel addiction & save the planet.

New University of Aberdeen spin‑out, Hychor, is on course to transform the future of clean energy with an innovative technology that produces green hydrogen directly from seawater, eliminating the need for freshwater and reducing the cost and infrastructure barriers that currently limit hydrogen adoption. Founded by University of Aberdeen graduate Dr Jani Shibuya, Hychor aims to deliver low‑cost, on‑site hydrogen for off‑grid coastal communities and industries seeking to decarbonise. Following a successful equity investment round, the company officially spun-out and opened a new R&D facility in Aberdeen in early May 2026. Hychor is now firmly embedded within Scotland’s growing energy‑transition ecosystem and is preparing to pursue global opportunities. Dr Shibuya founded Hychor in 2024, serving as CEO, and he is now joined by co‑founder and COO Alex Colledge, along with three new staff. The company plans to begin industrial pilot projects in 2027. 🔗 abdn.ac.uk/news/25656/

📣 James Sutton, Zero Hour Co-Director: “Blair’s interventions on energy policy would lock Brits into more instability and price shocks that line the pockets of his billionaire funders, not everyday people. This myth that it’s either clean power or cheap power may have been his policy in 2007, but the world has moved on, Britain can no longer afford to outsource its energy security to Blair’s friends.” 🔗 theguardian.com/environment/…

It was a beautiful occasion in London last night celebrating the life of my beloved friend Prof Len Doyal, who passed away recently last year. A great person, friend, & philosopher. Our shared adventures working on the #FreeCharlesByrne case came second to our friendship.
