One more thing. Would the last person to leave please turn out the lights? #eXit

Right. I’m out of here. I don’t think I need to explain why. It was fun while it lasted. Find me on Bluesky if you’re so inclined. Cheers.

Reminder: burning forests is never a good idea

Somehow unsurprising

This is 1930s-style fascism, with the added twist that Milei is a creature of the Atlas Network, a confederation of rightwing junktanks funded by some of the world's grimmest oligarchs and corporations. What they are getting in Argentina is what they want everywhere. Be warned.

Compare and contrast the response to climate activism from a community that is actually impacted by climate breakdown with that of the right-wing media and other agents of the fossil fuel industry that are fuelling it. theguardian.com/media/2023/sep…

We shot them because we thought they were Palestinian civilians under a flag of truce

@MichaelLee51 @DaleVince Yup that was kind of my point too 👍🏻

@jamesryle @DaleVince The whole point is that it's not.

No COP ever delivers enough. But they all deliver steps on the path. This one has delivered an agreement to reduce the use of all fossil fuels. Weak as it may look, loophole ridden as it may look, hostage to future interpretations as it may look - if your business is in fossil fuels, this is the writing on the wall. COP by COP we can get to where we obviously need to be, clear targets to end the use of fossil fuels. Only question is: can we do it fast enough?

Less than 48hrs later, COP28 president's mask slips: "The world continues to need low-carbon oil and gas and low-cost oil and gas. When the demand stops, that’s a completely different story." There. Is. No. Such. Thing. As. Low. Carbon. Oil. theguardian.com/environment/20…

COP28 is now on the verge of complete failure. The world desperately needs to phase out fossil fuels as quickly as possible, but this obsequious draft reads as if OPEC dictated it word for word. It is even worse than many had feared. It is “Of the Petrostates, By the Petrostates and For the Petrostates.” It is deeply offensive to all who have taken this process seriously. There are 24 hours left to show whose side the world is on: the side that wants to protect humanity’s future by kickstarting the orderly phase out of fossil fuels or the side of the petrostates and the leaders of the oil and gas companies that are fueling the historic climate catastrophe. In order to prevent COP28 from being the most embarrassing and dismal failure in 28 years of international climate negotiations, the final text must include clear language on phasing out fossil fuels. Anything else is a massive step backwards from where the world needs to be to truly address the climate crisis and make sure the 1.5°C goal doesn’t die in Dubai.

If we don't get a fossil phaseout agreement, we know why. The letter:

@hausfath @Microsoft @FedEx @Carbon_Direct Curious to know given MRV uncertainties if any early buyers are using removals attributed to EW as part of their net zero calculations?

Enhanced weathering is an exciting new pathway for hard-to-decarbonize agricultural systems. But its critical to deploy responsibly Today Frontier, @Microsoft, @FedEx, @Carbon_Direct and Yale CNCC released buyer principles to set a high bar for the field: frontierclimate.com/assets/enhance…
