With the heaviest of hearts, I guess Gianni Infantino will now have to withdraw the FIFA Peace Prize.

I would like to remind people that Elon Musk is a monster. His legacy is dead children in the poorest places in the world.

More poorly informed takes on climate from @RestIsPolitics
Rory Stewart says climate finance for developing countries is "completely the wrong way" to "stop global warming".
Instead G20 should have met for a couple more days to "try to crack this".
A few problems with this...

You will search this article in vain for any mention of the fact climate change is a serious threat, any sort of alternative plan for cutting emissions, or any reference to recent IEA reports demonstrating how global clean tech markets are booming.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

COP16 in Cali was suspended. Countries couldn't agree how to furnish hundreds of billions of dollars each year to halt the destruction of nature.
Not a good sign heading into COP29 in Baku where countries need a plan to furnish hundreds of billions too! bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Journalists are supposed to write "the first draft of history". Why are we (very much including me) so bad at reporting the biggest issues of our time - climate, wars, Gaza unnecessary deaths from illness? Drop the conspiracy theories for a moment. Me @FT on.ft.com/4htPkpc

NOT requiring solar on new homes would be totally bizarre
There's overwhelming support for higher new build standards & lots are annoyed solar isn't already required
MHCLG allowing housebuilders to water down / delay standards would be v short sighted

One of @BBCWorld's true legends, @moehash1, returns to his home in Omdurman to witness, and to grieve over, the devastation of #Sudan's unfolding civil war. Stunningly filmed by Hassan Lali, produced by @edhabershon bbc.com/news/videos/cl…

This is a great shame. I don’t understand how the BBC can rightly talk up the importance of the BBC World Service as a means to fight back against misinformation- and then shut down BBC Worlds flagship current affairs programme

THREAD: 1. PERSONAL NEWS: Today BBC News has announced plans to close @BBCHARDtalk after 3 decades holding the world’s politicians and powerbrokers to account. This is sad news for me personally, but much more important, I think it’s depressing news for the BBC🧵

In a competitive field this is one of the worst things I have ever read on climate change and net zero. A complete failure to understand either the pace of the clean tech revolution or the severity of the climate crisis. It is tacit climate denial and defeatism in equal measure.

A genuinely historic day for Britain and the world. The crucible of the Industrial Revolution halting the use of coal power once and for all, and proving it is possible for an advanced economy to end its reliance on coal inside a decade or so. businessgreen.com/news/4364612/e…
