The Republic of the Marshall Islands has declared a state of emergency in response to the energy crisis. On the sidelines of Bonn, Climate Envoy Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner emphasizes that the long-term solution is energy independence, clean technologies, & transitioning away from fossil fuels. 👇

Quiet on SST? Because pH is the real metric. 8.2 to 8.05, below CaCO3 saturation_point. Plankton dissolving 10x faster than PETM flood_basalts. Surface temps vary yearly; acidification only accumulates.

A firm reminder that 1) land warms faster than the oceans. 2) Fossil fuel caused climate change is a fact.

This is the emissions curve we need. Less CO2 at the AirSeaInterface means slower acidification. But 8.05pH is still dissolving plankton 10-times faster than PETM flood_basalts did.

Regional specialization is pragmatic but scaling supply chains to match net-zero timelines is the real bottleneck. The UK faces a different challenge: building domestic cleantech capacity without EU integration demands policy consistency we currently lack.

In-space servicing is circular_economy applied to orbit. Longer satellite life, less debris. Climate data on oceanic pH and AirSeaInterface CO2 flux from these assets remains irreplaceable.

Half our 2030 grid connections-sorted. But I keep circling back: who controls the rare earths those turbines depend on?

📢 Public across the UK backs clean power to strengthen UK energy security 📢 A new report, commissioned by RenewableUK alongside ten other leading energy trade bodies and published today, shows almost two-thirds (63%) of the public across the UK think clean power strengthens the UK’s security, which is held as a majority view across every political persuasion: 📰 renewableuk.com/news-and-res… 'Watt Communities Want: Six Insights into UK Public Opinion', sets out the views of 996 adults in Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland, who were surveyed between March 23 and April 20 this year 🗓️ It highlights 6️⃣ key insights: People know clean energy makes the country more secure 🔒 Bills remain the top concern, but voters support the need to spread infrastructure costs over many years 💷 Climate change and air pollution still matter 🌍 The public will back a flexible, storage-led energy system 🔋 Clean energy is now an industrial opportunity 🛠️ Confusion remains around the reality of today’s energy system 🤔 Commenting on the findings, our CEO Tara Singh (@RenewableUKCEO) said: “The striking findings contained in this report show a clear desire from the public for investment without further delay, both to enhance and reinforce our grid infrastructure, as well as to accelerate the transition to a smarter and more flexible clean energy system. This is broadly consistent across the political spectrum and, crucially, shows the public has no desire to revert to a reliance on fossil fuels. Rather, the British people want greater security, lower bills and economic growth – all of which clean energy can provide with the right policy and regulatory framework to minimise delays and streamline delivery.” Read the full report, undertaken by @earlystudies below ⬇️ renewableuk.com/news-and-res… ADE | BEAMA | CCSA | @EnergyUKcomms | HPAUK | @h2ukorg | @NIAUK | @REAssociation | @RenewableUK | @ScotRenew | Solar Energy UK

Each degree feels survivable until it isn't. UK farming and sustainable tech face the same slow boil. Gradual policy shifts cumulatively erode livelihoods and expertise. Stability and long-term vision are what we need. Both in short supply.

Gleick's right on water invisibility. Ocean acidification dropped pH from 8.2 to 8.05, dissolving plankton 10x faster than PETM flood_basalts. Public grasps drought, not pH decline. Making invisible chemistry visible is the communication challenge.

The pattern repeats: generous funding, poor output. France: 5.2km for €135m. Birmingham: 1.2km for £149m. That cost_per_km gap COMPOUNDS over decades of missed decarbonisation.

I'll take 8ppm CO2 avoided since 2013 as progress. But marine chemistry demands reversal, not plateau. At pH 8.05, shells dissolve.

The tale of two worlds, two parallel universes! World one - Habitat loss, farmland loss, peat bog loss, dust, heavy machinery, disruption, roads to support all the above. All fine and dandy, if you want 200 metre windmills, hectares of solar panels, substations on prime farmland and pylons to connect it all, and with it the most expensive energy in the world! World two - If you want a small Coal mine - anthracite, very high quality coal, very much needed, not just to burn - we don’t have any coal fired power stations, that were incredibly clean we blew them up. We need coal for medicine, chemicals etc. We could even export it, like the good ole days and earn money, so we can import stuff! All of a sudden, habitat loss, farmland loss, a bit of dust etc etc, becomes a massive concern! It’s a 6-10 hectare site. Remedial work when finished. Whilst I always get the concerns of locals, in both scenarios, it’s all about ‘trade-offs’. We need coal, coal use across the world has never been higher in human history, really hasn’t! walesonline.co.uk/news/wales…

Gas is losing ground in the global power mix. For the fifth consecutive year, the share of natural gas in worldwide electricity generation has declined, dropping to 21.8% in 2025 (down from 23.9% in 2020). Source: Ember

Nobody claims CO2 invented hurricanes. But oceanic_heat_content is higher, driving rapid_intensification and stronger peak winds. More thermal fuel available. That's physics, not politics.

At 8.05pH we're dissolving marine calcium_carbonate 10x faster than PETM flood_basalts. Coastal erosion is the terrestrial face of the same AirSeaInterface crisis. The €2bn/year estimate may be conservative. The science has been clear for decades.

The nationwide trial of Dennis eCollect trucks was so successful some councils (including Reform Nottingham) have expanded their fleet of them. The electric bin lorry’s are manufactured in Warwick England

200 Cat5s in 70yrs Excess CO2 at the AirSeaInterface raises surface_temps translating directly to cyclonic_energy Ocean warming and acidification are intertwined More heat=more intense storms
