#COP29 değerlendirmemi sevgili Semra Cerit Mazlum, @umitsa.bsky.social, Özgür Gürbüz ve @kivancgorkem.bsky.social'in yorumlarıyla okuyabilirsiniz. Tablo karamsar ama iklim krizini görmezden gelmek gibi bir şansımız yok. Her ölçekte hızlı, etkili ve kapsayıcı çözümler üretmek zorundayız.

IPC press conf #COP29 “Coal phase out and just transition in Turkey”. Our key messages: Turkey is 13th top CO2 emitter. High RE targets in its LTS are great, but very late peak year (2038) and no coal phase out policy make transition unprepared and unjust. unfccc-events.azureedge.net/COP29_101647...

The UK has struggled to commission ONE new nuclear power station in the last 7 years, and it will not come on line for at least another 5-7 years, and it will not even replace the retiring fleet. And some people are still trying to convince us that nuclear is solution to the climate crisis. Insane!

Two things we keep getting consistently wrong:

1️⃣ Vastly overestimating future coal demand

2️⃣ Massively underestimating future generation of solar PV

Love these graphics from RethinkX.
