The Remaining Carbon Budget for 1.5°C is now smaller because: 1) We have not reduced emissions in three years 2) Updated simple climate models because of updated historical aerosol emissions 3) Some new method choices nature.com/articles/s4155… 1/

We tend to drown in the complexity & our inability to bend the global curve of fossil-fuel emissions. Here is the obvious 1st step to succeed - stop subsidizing oil, gas & coal. 7 trillion USD. Almost 10% of the global economy… Let, at least, clean energy compete on fair terms.

Spain, close enough to make us want to do something about the climate emergency? Nah, just carry on as we are.

The Electric Vehicle market is expected to double by 2024. Take a look at some of these graphics:

The countries at the top want you to think the countries at the bottom are to blame for climate change. US historic emissions per person are almost 25 times those of India and 8 times those of China.

Exceptional warmth is surging into Europe to end 2022. What a year of extremes it has been and it is going out with a bang. Likely hitting +20°C in Southern Germany with overnight lows in the widely in the mid-teens. Bonkers for this time of the year.

The biggest threat to achieving 1.5 degrees is the speed at which we invest, not divest. We need at least $4 in clean energy investment for every $1 maintaining fossil fuels until we can phase them out. #GFANZ is accelerating capital to major emerging markets #COP27

WE’VE WIPED OUT TWO-THIRDS OF BIRDS, FISH, AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES SINCE 1970 AND THIS FINDING DIDN’T EVEN MAKE HEADLINE NEWS #SixthMassExtinction

Even if we phase out all oil, coal & gas by 2050, we still fail on holding the well-below 2°C limit, if we do not get nature back within safe planetary boundaries. We need a carbon law for Nature, and exponential roadmaps for nature climate solutions time.com/6215338/cant-h…

Instead of “going public,” you could say we’re “going purpose.” Instead of extracting value from nature and transforming it into wealth for investors, we’ll use the wealth Patagonia creates to protect the source of all wealth. Read Yvon's letter at pat.ag/Ownership

World on brink of five ‘disastrous’ climate tipping points, study finds theguardian.com/environment/20…

Failure to Slow Warming Will Set Off Climate ‘Tipping Points,’ Scientists Say nytimes.com/2022/09/08/cli…

Minister King urges Queensland to open up more gas fields, using the same old lines from the coalition: gas as a transition fuel, intermittent renewables. 🙄 @IEA⁩ made it clear: NO NEW OIL COAL OR GAS if you want to limit warming.🌏#climate #auspol smh.com.au/politics/feder…

With global plastic waste projected to Triple by 2060, this new finding is really disturbing: Microplastics discovered in Antarctic snow for the first time. Another proof, we are deep into the Anthropocene aje.io/x6hfvx via @AJEnglish

Consistently disappointing BS editorials from @FinancialReview. Latest is just straight out misinformed, fossil fuel industry propaganda. The gas-led recovery led nowhere but Sloganville. Gas was a bridging fuel 20 years ago. Bridge built. Get over it. afr.com/policy/energy-…

The #Rhine water levels have dropped so low you can literally walk across it in some parts. It's now becoming an inland beach. Transport ships can now only carry 30% of the load, tripling transport costs. The EU response -they are trying for "Carbon Neutral" by 2030. Bit late....

Death Valley, the hottest and driest place in the US just saw the 4th 1-in-1,000 year rain event in less than 2 weeks in the US. 3/4 of Death Valley’s annual rainfall fell in 3 hours.

The red thread in science over the past 30 years? (1) Real world disasters confirm the climate science (2) Things are changing faster than expected…Here, worst ever drought in Europe in pictures. Do we need more evidence to act with urgency? The Guardian theguardian.com/environment/ga…

We had the fantastic opportunity to hear from inspiring speakers such as @davosnotes, @KeithTuffley, @G_stordalen, @JMartonLefevre, @jaideepbansal, @navidnathoo, and many, many others! 💫 Thank you to The Villars Institute @VillarsIdeas for having us!

Just in... France 🇫🇷 has just observed its earliest 40°C in recorded history. This is just the beginning of one of the most profound heatwaves in French history. An immense number of records are about to fall.
