Want to stop climate change and save trillions?
Our research from Oxford's @INETOxford uses empirically grounded technological forecasting to show that a fast transition to an energy system based on renewables and storage will save trillions of dollars cell.com/joule/fulltext/S254…

Want to solve climates change and save trillions? Well, it turns out investing in green energy tech like solar, wind, batteries and electrolysers for hydrogen can not only decarbonise energy but will save trillions in energy system costs.
New paper from Rupert Way, @mat_ives, @PennyMealy and Doyne Farmer in Joule today shows that an aggressive #energytransition is the best economic choice, even if we weren't facing a #ClimateCrisis.

Worth a read if you want a policy that will force fossil fuel companies to actually start taking real action on climate.

Simple fact: renewable energy employs more people in Germany than coal. Let's remember that when we talk about the energy transition. #Energiewende

Excellent article on unicorn technologies we should be investing in to drive the clean energy revolution.
'Unicorn' technologies are those that can deliver a reduction of at least a billion tonnes of CO2 a year.
@MikeMason_CO2 @Camjhep & Chris Llewellyn Smith lay out the green tech potential of COP26

Politics movements like #Fridays4Future are grassroots movements that had a small beginning and went viral. That’s the snowball effect of SIPs
For the next 40 minutes I’m live with top Oxford University Researchers to talk SIP's
Please join in the discussion by replying directly to the tweets.
Q3. What do SIPs mean for the "average Joe/Joanne"? Is there a way to get involved? How will Joe/Joanne be affected by SIPs?

There has to be a tipping point when renewables become clearly cheaper than fossil fuels in more and more locations.
For the next 60 minutes I’m live with top Oxford University Researchers to talk about Sensitive Intervention Points (SIP’s)
Please join in the discussion by replying directly to the tweets
Q1. What are the most important SIPs you have identified and how could they be triggered?

Please join in the discussion by replying directly to the tweets.
Q2. Are SIPs bottom-up or top-down? Do we need to rely on our politicians or business leaders to make things happen or can people make things happen?

Please join us this Friday 4pm BST for a twitter discussion on sensitive intervention points for runaway change to a post-carbon world.
Imagine if we could intervene in the social economic system to bring about rapid, massive decarbonization.
This Friday at 4pm GMT I will be hosting a Oxford University for a chat on Sensitive Intervention Points, join us with your ideas.

Why is it, that out of all the Sciences (eg, Histology, Aeronautics, Cosmology, etc), the only Science subjected to massive and very well funded Denialist Disinformation is Climatology? “Qui Bono” = “Who Benefits” may be relevant?

Dear Prime Minister,
Time for some change. Young Australians demand it. We wrote a letter:
"a request for serious Australian climate action ... with support from all resident Australian #RhodesScholars".

Wonderfully novel way to get a standing ovation by @camjhep :)
Fantastic demonstration of a Sensitive Intervention Point by PCT’s @camjhep at his #TedxVienna talk on #SIPs yesterday.
