2024 set a record as the warmest in history, with the average global temperatures 1.6°C above pre-industrial levels.

Multiple global records were broken, contributing to extreme events, including floods, heatwaves and wildfires.

The impact of human-caused climate change accelerates.

Graph titled '2024 was the warmest year on record and first above 1.5°C.' The subtitle is: "annual global temperature anomalies relative to pre-industrial levels (1850–1900)". The bars are color-coded from yellow to dark red, with warmer anomalies represented in red. The chart highlights a steady rise in temperatures since 1940, culminating in 2024 exceeding 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

@EUCommission if only there was one supranational government that could take swift action...

@jesusmargar There is, corporate goal is to double these numbers ahead of schedule.

@EUCommission And you've decided to make it worse by building "AI factories"

@EUCommission This post sounds like there's something to celebrate. No indication on how to move forwards from here...

@EUCommission
We know many things to do that would improve the situation.
But greedy men running/owning megacorporations don't want to and buy politicians.

@EUCommission and the consequence should be to move even faster to a carbon free society. I am missing the urgency here… apparently our plan was overtaken by reality.

@EUCommission
Taking gigawatts of wind energy from nature does not contribute to a healthy planet, it's time to start admitting to that.

@EUCommission Impressive! Is there an organization that, if it decided to impose drastic changes on its members, could transform this situation?

@EUCommission We need to build more nuclear power together with renewable energy sources.

@Jarska96 @EUCommission The ever lasting problem with Nuclear power is its waste. There was talk about salt reactors being able to burn uranium further. Skimming through the summary on page 277: "A few major technical and non-technical challenges in the development
of MSRs are still to be solved prior to the scale-up of the technology and its
deployment" -> iaea.org/publications/14998/st

Fusion? Well...: livescience.com/physics-mathem

@jonnyDumb @EUCommission Firstly, the waste is not that kind of a problem. It can be stored safely underground, why do you think in Finland we have the Onkalo spent nuclear fuel repository? Also it can be reused.

Secondly, i don't necessarily mean nuclear power just using uranium. It's an existing way to produce energy that will kill off coal & gas. Salt reactors, SMRs, etc... are part of it.

And as for fusion... That's the eventual future of nuclear energy.

@EUCommission And yet you are extremely happy with large ai data centres and want to reduce a forest protection plan. Sit down and stop being hypocrites. You know why this is happening.
