🚨 Web Summit Vancouver 🚨 Last month I flew to Vancouver to meet Mayor Ken Sim & the Vancouver tech community. I was blown away by Vancouver’s beauty and its flourishing tech scene. Today we’re announcing our first Web Summit in North America, Web Summit Vancouver. We’re going to take over the city in May 2025. We can’t wait! That means next week will be our final Collision and our final year in Toronto. After an amazing 5 years, we’re welcoming the largest number of startups ever to Toronto next week, and by far the largest number of female founded startups. It’s going to fun this one last time. After that it’s all eyes on Vancouver for May 2025. We simply can’t wait. See you on the West Coast for Web Summit Vancouver in 2025.

Cute, affordable clothes have never been easier to find — but the knock-offs you bought for Christmas are creating a huge environmental impact.

Honestly believe @GretaThunberg's new book is most important yet on #climate. I'd like to put a copy in the hands of key #media folk in Ireland. They REALLY need to read this, asap. Can you help me ID who to send them to? (ok, I bought quite a few!)

In my reporting on clean energy misinformation I've seen one argument over and over. Wind turbines kill birds. While this is true, it misses an important piece of context: Fossil fuel power plants kill 35x more birds per GWh than wind turbines do. 🧵

Breaking News: California detailed a sweeping ban on the sale of new gasoline cars by 2035, a move that could speed a global transition to electric vehicles. nyti.ms/3ck9JR2

California to Ban the Sale of New Gasoline Cars (Published 2022)

The decision, to take effect by 2035, will very likely speed a wider transition to electric vehicles because many other states follow California’s standards.
