Global average temperature is expected to rise to almost 2C above preindustrial in the next five years, according to the WMO, with falls in crop yields and more than a third of the world’s population being exposed to extreme heat. People, we are in danger.

Electricity demand surged in 2024—but clean energy delivered, meeting 80%+ of new generation. Oil’s share hit a record low. The energy transition isn’t an aspiration —it’s happening now largely thanks to economics. International Energy Agency: iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/5b169aa…
