Canada's former environment minister and now chair of the UN’s High-Level Expert Group (HLEG) 'lays down the law' on net-zero greenwashing.
- any organization making net-zero pledges can’t also be supporting the expansion of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.
- organizations must set short-term targets to lower emissions.
- technologies that don’t work as advertised — like carbon capture technology or experimental next-generation nuclear reactors — don’t have a place in a credible 2030 target.
- companies and cities can’t buy their way to net zero with carbon offsets; they need to genuinely reduce their own emissions and the emissions they finance.
- companies must also create transition plans for their business models, including phasing out fossil fuels and scaling up renewable energy projects, and align their lobbying with climate solutions instead of delay tactics.

"It’s surreal and horrifying that we all know they are irreversibly destroying the planet but our governments continue expanding fossil fuels anyway while the media looks on." - Peter Kalmus, NASA climate scientist

The important point to me is that #SeaLevel is a multigenerational problem. Adapting to sea level rise 50 or 100 years from now will depend on steps we start to take today.

Atomkonzern EDF: weitere 4 Reaktoren kaputt und über den Winter nicht in Betrieb.
Die Strompreise steigen dem entsprechend in die Höhe.
RT @dorfman_p@twitter.com
'EDF France says another four reactors broken and won't be operating over winter, sending power prices soaring and increasing fears of blackouts.'
Nuclear, deeply intermittent.

Trudeau government takes first steps to cement its cornerstone climate policy
"Contracts for difference are widely seen as a strong solution because it makes ambitious projects less risky, which is good for companies and investors, incentivizes emissions-reducing projects and is cheaper than tax credits or straight-up subsidies"
A Consumer Guide to the Inflation Reduction Act
The Inflation Reduction Act directs an unprecedented $369 billion toward fighting climate change. Here’s how to save on electric vehicles, solar panels, heat pumps, and more via tax credits and rebates.

Developing countries ‘will need $2tn a year in climate funding by 2030’
“Around half of the required financing can be reasonably expected to come from local sources, from strengthening domestic public finance and domestic capital markets, including tapping into large pools of local finance that national development banks are able to mobilise”
Climate change threatening ‘things Americans value most,’ U.S. report says
1. Every part of the U.S. is grappling with climate change — but not equally
2. A warming world threatens reliable water supplies
3. Extreme events are wreaking havoc on homes and property
4. The U.S. can expect more forced migration and displacement
5. Climate change is a growing public health threat
6. It’s not just humans who are feeling the effects
7. There is good news and opportunity to still shape the future

During COP27, we urge the Egyptian authorities to immediately and unconditionally release all those held simply for peacefully exercising their human rights, implementing criteria set by local NGOs for these releases: fairness, transparency, inclusiveness and urgency. One of these prisoners is Alaa Abd El-Fattah, who is now on a water strike since the beginning of COP27. (thread)

A room full of oceanographers #IceSheet has just been told (by Gael Durand of the #PROTECT project) that 2m of global mean #SeaLevelRise is basically almost inevitable* and there is a tangible atmosphere of shock...
*On a timescale ranging from a couple of hundred to thousand of years

Twitter is designed to agitate us.
Twitter is designed to get under our skin.
Twitter is designed to make us react.
Twitter is designed to make us want to return to "give them a piece of my mind."
Twitter is a drug that kills empathy and rewards cruelty and compels us to come back for more, even though we know that it is self-harm.
Which is entirely by design.
That is why Mastodon feels so chill.
You're not being manipulated.
