No time for despondency, no matter how this comes out. Nah. Too damn much work to do. «There is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the moment, the time is always now.» - James Baldwin

It’s dangerous distraction day at #COP28 & the myth of “abated” fossil fuels is distraction #1, derailing the necessary full, fast, fair & funded phaseout of #FossilFuels. New research from Climate Analytics shows why relying on carbon capture spells climate catastrophe. 🧵👇🏾

Climate Analytics@CA_Latest

Week 2 is kicking off at #COP28 and the word on everyone's lips is: unabated. Read more about the 86 bill tonne loophole this could create for the oil and gas industry and how it could bust #1o5C in our latest report. 🧵 climateanalytics.org/publications/u…

New text #LossAndDamage Fund is unacceptable. Hosted under the @WorldBank without clear exit, no obligations for developed countries, no references to @UNFCCC principles such as historic responsibility, no scale, no #humanrights in GI, no non-party Board members, no nothing. #TC5

The same streets we stormed last week to #EndFossilFuels, now underwater. Our hearts are with the people of ❤️NYC 🍎 & people everywhere 🌏as they endure climate catastrophe while reluctant leaders standby and continue to enable the fossil fuel industry. #ClimateJustice

Just last week, over 75,000 people marched in the streets of New York to demand climate action. Those streets are now flooded. @GovKathyHochul declared a state of emergency as over 8.5 million people were placed under flash flood warnings.   It costs more to do nothing.

This is New York. I was there last week for the UN Secretary General’s climate summit. I went hoping for a climate breakthrough. But we came away with very little. Big polluting nations were still dragging their feet. And now nature is showing what folly that is. 🧵👇🏿

This is #NYC New York city, today. Rainfall rate already 1-2 inches per hour. And its just beginning. #ClimateChange is real. #ClimateChange is everywhere.

New York's old rainfall record stood for 150 years until 2021, and has now been broken three times. Hot air holds more water vapor than cold; flooding follows fossil fuel combustion as night follows day.

Major flooding in Brooklyn today. Trains shut down and the only way out of the station is through this.

In case we needed yet another reason to #EndFossilFuels, oil & gas production is depleting scarce water supplies. Fracking not only pollutes & poisons; it also sucks (the earth dry). #KeepItInTheGround Phase Out Fossil Fuels #FastFairForever nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Powerful words from @vishlprasad (Director @pisfcc) at #UNCAS. From city streets to negotiating halls to court rooms, youth demand climate accountability. No more promises & pledges. We need concrete action. The #ICJAO4Climate can center #humanrights & ratchet up climate ambition

UNSG @antonioguterres closes #UNCAS on a hopeful note: 1.5 is within reach if we #EndFossilFuels. Investing in fossil fuels today is like investing in horse-drawn carriages at the turn of the century & expecting maximum profits. Only horses didn't choke humanity. Fossil fuels do.

As #UNCAS continues, @fbirol Exec Dir of @IEA has a clear message for investors: "Even without additional climate & environmental policies, coal, oil & natural gas will peak within this decade & decline." The writing is on the wall. The future is not fossil. #EndFossilFinance

At #ClimateAmbitionSummit, @IMFNews @KGeorgieva calls on states to shift fossil fuel subsidies (a whopping $7 tn in 2022) to financing for the green transition, including implicit subsidies for not making polluters pay the costs of their harm. #EndFossilFuels #FastFairForever

2023 is indeed a decisive year for fighting climate change. So yes, @OlafScholz 🇩🇪, it will take the strong resolve of all countries at #COP28UAE – but especially the biggest polluters – to phase out #fossilfuels, fast, fairly, and forever, and without loopholes. #EndFossilFuels

Well that was embarrassing. Canada & @JustinTrudeau were just called out for "being one of the largest expanders of fossil fuels last year" by the @UN at the #ClimateAmbitionSummit 🤦‍♀️#cdnpoli

Canada is among the planet wreckers whose fossil fuel expansion plans are driving climate catastrophe. @JustinTrudeau, true ambition begins with a halt to new fossil fuel projects & an end to all fossil fuel subsidies. Period. priceofoil.org/planet-wreckers #ClimateAmbitionSummit

Chile joins California at UNSG #ClimateAmbitionSummit in naming that the climate crisis is a fossil fuel crisis. « We have to leave fossil fuels behind. We also have to react to the greenwashing that major businesses are undertaking. » Businesses must submit to the rules.
