I assume most people know this, but seems important to point out basic truths at this moment in time. There is no energy emergency in the U.S. The U.S. is the world's top producer of oil and gas at the moment, and the top exporter of gas, and U.S. oil and gas producers are making record profits.

needed to read this, thanks

trans and non-binary friends, people with vulnerable immigration status, others whose lives are singled out for punishment by this grotesque man, i see you

people working hard to prevent climate catastrophe, i see you too

grief is unavoidable. love, community and action will carry us forward

"I think what we're going to see is a lot of climate grifters coming out of the woodwork, mediocre intellects who see this as their way to advance their own career," he said.

Red team-blue team climate review is coming back. Make no mistake, this is a political process to try to create doubt about climate science in order to slow down policy.

The 1.5°C Target for Global Warming Must Prevail | by Joeri Rogelj - Project Syndicate Joeri Rogelj argues that the threshold established by the Paris agreement remains crucial – even if it is breached.

Climate action is falling terribly short
Time to bury the 1.5C goal?

Absolutely not - why the 1.5 goal must prevail
(even when global warming exceeds 1.5C)

My opinion for Project Syndicate 👇

The overshoot myth: you can’t keep burning fossil fuels and expect scientists of the future to get us back to 1.5°C The net zero approach of the Paris agreement has become detached from reality as it is increasingly relies on science fiction levels of speculative technology.

My latest with Wolfgang Knorr (climate scientist) & Sir Robert Watson (previous chair of IPCC & IPBES) published today by @theconversationuk.bsky.social. Sort of an update of our 2021 “The concept of net zero is a dangerous trap”. theconversation.com/the-overshoo...

A veritable whos-who of the scientists behind our physical climate understanding of net-zero have a new paper in Nature, making the case for "Geological Net Zero" where fossil CO2 can only credibly counterbalanced by permanent removal: www.nature.com/artic...

so, the ways in which this was controversial surprised me

there’s a whole lot of denial about the state of things in the investor space, because some people are very invested (sorry) in avoiding grief

@carbonbrief.org has mapped every published study on how climate change has influenced extreme weather.
Overall, 83% of the events and trends included in the map were found to have been influenced by human-caused climate change.

Important thread if you work with actors that are prone to using our current inadequate trajectory to determine what is ‘feasible’, willingly or otherwise neglecting the massive intergenerational harm and carbon debt burden this commits us to.

Hello! Likewise. It has taken me some time.

Seems fitting to start out with a tweet, from 30/10/2018
