I don’t ever want to hear people like John Kerry tell me again that “no government has the money to fix the climate crisis.” Absolutely just fuck the hell off with that, it was bullshit then and it’s even more transparently bullshit now. (15/16)

The budget reconciliation bill Congress is considering would bring funding for immigration enforcement to $200 billion for FY2025 alone. It’s hard to explain how utterly insane this is, but here’s an attempt – with comparisons to #FFD4, foreign aid, climate finance etc. (1/16)

@brandoncwu I think the $1.3tn goal is a distraction from the real issue - developed nations aren't meeting their $300bn commitment. We need to focus on holding them accountable.

Good summary. The $1.3tn feels like it will most likely become a meaningless accounting exercise, counting the sum of climate investments happening globally rather than actually incentivizing more.

To understand global south anger at the COP29 climate finance goal it's crucial to understand two key numbers. "At least" $300bn/year - developed nations agreed to "take the lead" in mobilising this for developing countries $1.3tn/year - a wider, vaguer goal Sounds big! But...

The climate nerd community is still very strong here, but I hope many of my nearly 5K+ followers will come over to Bluesky. Just so much less toxicity. Hoping that #COP29 was my last round of intensive activity in this cesspool. bsky.app/profile/brando…

@Josh_Gabbatiss Thanks Josh, really hard to communicate this to a general public who just see a $1.3 trillion and feel that's a lot of $$.
I'm always confused by the dates: does by 2035 mean every year from now till 2035 or starting in 2035? @joethw8s @brandoncwu
