COP30 has delivered less than hoped for & less than what is needed.

But one light in the darkness is the recognition of the need for ‘information integrity’.

The fight for a safe climate has the fight against disinformation at his heart, and now, its rightful place in the treaty text.

More Than 300 Lobbyists for Industrial Agriculture Attend COP30 Presence of high-polluting companies erodes trust in the UN process, say campaigners.

NEW: > 300 lobbyists representing industrial agriculture have attended this year’s UN climate talks taking place in the Brazilian Amazon, where the industry is the leading cause of deforestation 1/

Tony Blair Institute have released a report which is getting a lot of coverage in UK today

It says the drive for net zero emissions is flawed and some media outlets have gone to town

However it’s a bit odd

By odd, I mean there’s a lot of bollocks in it and shouldn't be taken seriously 🧵🧵

BBC muzzling one of its best presenters from making an excellent, wholly factual programme because heat pumps are “controversial”. An organisation badly in need of new leadership.

Farage attending the launch of a new staunch climate denial group in the UK that has taken funds from oil giant ExxonMobil ? Not particularly out of character , since Dec 2019 92% of donations to Reform UK were from fossil fuel interest groups or climate deniers , per @desmog.bsky.social .

One of my favourite takeaways from #orfc was Jake Richardson’s line on factory farmed chickens: ‘when a quarter of all food workers do not have enough to eat, more chicken does not equal food security’ …
