🌲ikt has funded planting of 1,145 trees and the prevention of 54.1 tCO2e from being emitted
That’s called cherrypicking
Funny that’s what I thought you were doing after I pointed out how you can’t seem to grasp a trend
That won’t make a big difference
You think a flat line that is turning around to go negative is no different to a line going straight vertical up?
What?
I’m out, thanks for the discussion!
Just look at this graph from the report you’re citing.
I prefer this one ;)

and this one:
and this one:
Analysis: Wind and solar power overtake fossil fuels in Germany for first time ever
etcetc
A lie that will cost millions of lives
Eh 60-75 million people died in ww2 and that was entirely man made problem, I’m just thankful renewables are somewhat economically competitive at all otherwise that co2 graph you pointed out earlier would be a straight line going vertical
It is, and your own graph says that explicitly in its title…
Yes for 2025 only, you don’t seem to have noticed that in previous years fossil fuel use also increased to help cover increased electricity demand, I’ve highlighted this here:
In 2025 not only was renewables covering all new electricity demand but also existing demand decreasing fossil fuel use
Solar PV was the single largest contributor to growth in global energy supply in 2025, accounting for more than 25% of the increase – the first time on record that a modern renewable source has led global primary energy supply growth. Natural gas took the next largest share, at 17%, reflecting its role in power generation in many countries. Overall, renewable sources and nuclear met nearly 60% of all growth in energy demand – and power generation from these sources exceeded total growth in electricity demand.
The last line is most important:
power generation from these sources exceeded total growth in electricity demand
As seen in original post, renewables deployment is accelerating and covering all growth and reducing fossil fuel use in existing electricity demand, I’m super confident we’ll soon see it cover all energy demand
This was from 2025:
Global oil demand rose by 0.7%, in line with IEA projections. This reflected continued growth of electric vehicles, which constrained demand for road fuels. Electric car sales in 2025 increased by over 20% to more than 20 million units – making up around one in four new car sales worldwide
want a free preview of 2026?
Global oil demand is forecast to decline by 1.1 mb/d y-o-y in 2026.

Turns out Russian refineries being hit by Ukranian drones every few days isn’t good for Russians trying to buy petrol nor is it good for exports
On top of this a certain Iran/US war has helped more people move to EV’s than ever before
EV enthusiasm continues as research detects lasting consumer shift
“What the numbers are telling us is that we are actually moving into a new phase,” said Andrea Pellegrini, a lecturer and researcher at the Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies at the University of Sydney.
“Now actually we are kind of going into a phase where the market is becoming more mature.”
Stay positive my friend ;)
I’m confused
It’s a graph about proportion, meaningless for our debate.
You said it’s flat but it’s clearly not, as seen in the first image renewables in the form of solar and battery are now hitting fossil fuels from both ends
For example we can see battery is taking over gasses peaking role:

We can see EV adoption is shrinking oil’s role:
https://www.iea.org/reports/global-ev-outlook-2025/outlook-for-energy-demand
“Keeping fossil generation flat”, while a part of this increase is caused by the transition itself is not a win. You just remade the point I made myself.
We’re both looking at the same graph and reading it differently
You’re pointing to the historical record showing how fossil fuel usage is flat and renewables is only covering the new increased demand
I’m pointing to the trend showing increasing renewables growth including for the first time renewables not only covering all increased electricity demand but also existing demand decreasing fossil fuel use
It’s all good man, enjoy your inoffensive monoculture
lemmy: institutes blasphemy rule straight out of 1600’s medieval europe
you: well you see it’s important we don’t offend anyone, i am very smart 🤓
if this is worse than reddit, why am i here?
anyway enjoy your overtly white sterile monoculture
I cannot be anti-religious?! Are you kidding me?!
This place is more overmoderated than the worst reddit subs WHAT the FUCK
thanks
Religious extremists suck, regardless of the religion
yes I know, all lives matter, thanks 🙄
I didn’t realise where I was this, this is great

Did you know Kangaroo’s are Left-Handed?
Humans and some other primates exhibit “handedness,” or the tendency to use one hand more naturally than the other. Scientists once thought this was a unique feature of primate evolution, but more recent research suggests handedness is also common in kangaroos.
Based on research with red kangaroos, eastern greys, and red-necked wallabies, researchers have found the animals are primarily left-handed, using that hand for tasks such as grooming and eating about 95% of the time. Their hands also seem to be specialised for different types of work, with kangaroos typically using their left hand for precision and their right for strength. This challenges the idea that handedness is unique to primates, researchers say, noting it may be an adaptation to bipedalism.
ha ha ai bad
DAMNIT
The original article was on the australian news corp website, so it’s probably not true and/or exaggerated but anyway
ha ha ai bad
I say, I really don’t get why so many people stay over on Reddit.
This place fuckin sucks man? It’s pretty much reddit for left wing progressives who specifically care about left wing American* politics, linux, and not much else
he’s been saying it for a while, I got the big sad because I was using them over paypal, now i’m like one is American and one is a Canadian cooker
it was the best of times, it was the blurst of times
Did you know Australia is home to the world’s oldest tropical rainforest!
The Daintree Rainforest, located in Tropical North Queensland about 3 hours north of Cairns, is the oldest tropical rainforest in the world! This relatively small but stunning corner of Australia is estimated to be anywhere from 35 million to 180 million years old, which is at least 10 million years older than the Amazon Rainforest.
The Daintree Rainforest is also special because it’s a World Heritage Site. Located just offshore from the Daintree lies the Great Barrier Reef, which is also a World Heritage Site. So when you visit Cape Tribulation in the heart of the Daintree, you’re visiting the only place in the world where two World Heritage Sites meet!
Did you know Tasmania has the cleanest air in the world!
More specifically, Cape Grim in northwest Tasmania is said to have the cleanest air in the world. According to the Cape Grim Baseline Air Pollution Station, the strong winds that blow in from the Southern Ocean near Antarctica help keep the air pure and free of pollutants. So take that much-needed “breath of fresh air” to a new level by heading down to Tassie and inhaling the cleanest air on Earth!
what. happens. when. it stops. growing.
i cannot believe you have zero ability to grasp a trend
