I believe clearer public communication from politicians with supporting economic signals that reach peoples pockets is needed.

Otherwise awareness of what you quote stays limited to a few with the interest and motivation to learn.

Yep, funding unproven false solutions is particularly wasteful.

Only saw this comment after the chart below.

I'm curious to pick your brains on your focus group experience, especially if it touched carbon pricing and revenue use.

Timely thought provoking picture, does clean energy protect us from the fossil fuel industry and price spikes ?

The political arguments for effective carbon pricing in the EU are gaining visibility. This is a healthy and necessary debate.

We continue to advocate for carbon pricing combined with public communication and support as key ingredients.

You make a good point that applies to other policy areas as well. We are focused on carbon pricing (tax - alarm), tracking EU ETS policy alignment options. An area challenging for public comms and replete with bad actors and misinformation.

We welcome the debate and see the fight as inevitable.

The Ant hill mob from wacky races - what a gorgeous flashback.

Fossil fuel money is pouring into political parties around the world.

What they want is not in the public interest.

Or targets for the fossil fuel industry, we’re learning to see the attacks on our policy advocacy where implemented as evidence it works and it bothers them.

🚨 New Report: Taxing fossil fuel profits, not consumers Taxing fossil fuel industry profits would provide a structural signal to investors, discouraging continued investment in fossil fuel activities and reallocating capital in the energy transition,…

🛢️Fossil fuel industry: Gigantic profits
💸Damage they cause? We all pay the bill
💡Solution: Let’s tax big polluters’ profits

➡️Our new study shows taxing fossil profits would not raise consumer prices. Instead, it would reduce shareholder returns, incentivising gradual move of capital to renewables.

Good question …

Have you looked at #makevotesmatter

There are a number of orgs focussed on political reform and fairness. I have my own favourites.

Our focus is on effective climate solutions which demand public support (fairness).

Fossil fuel funding directly undermines and lies about good climate policy.

When fossil fuel companies fund political parties, this is exactly the behaviour they expect.

Nothing to do with public interest.

This is indeed very good. An excellent frame for understanding the film.

Tx, I watched the film and now understand better what I saw. The review moved me to tears.

A few years ago Portuguese eco company was recommending a paint and cork mix. I recall it was about 3-4 mm and twice the cost of good exterior paint.

Written from a US perspective and includes relative competitiveness data for both the Uk and the EU.

According to a US assessment of EITE goods (Energy Intensive Trade Exposed) that the CBAM would apply to. The UK is in a highly competitive position compared to international trading partners.

So trading without a CBAM leaves money on the table that undervalues UK green investments.

Brussels would not scrap its own CBAM if a Reform government dropped the UK’s, so it would result in immediate and significant tariffs on UK exports to its largest trading partner, while also leaving the UK very open to dumping from elsewhere.

Record-breaking electric truck delivery beats diesel equivalent The stakeholders said the electric prime mover was able to reduce the total trip time by 20 minutes each way compared with the diesel equivalent.

“‘E-Trucking is the future’? Nah mate — it’s already here. A 36-tonne Windrose just smashed a 480 km delivery on one charge, ~70 % cheaper than diesel and ~12 % quicker, shaving about 40 minutes off the trip. This is why E-Trucking is NOT the future — it’s TODAY. #EV #LFP #EnergyTransition #Lithium

Does that use a lot of energy? An interactive tool to get a sense of scale for energy consumption.

Tx @hannahritchie.bsky.social

The EU is one of the world’s most fossil-import-dependent economies. In 2023, imports met 58% of its energy demand -near pre-crisis levels - leaving consumers exposed to price shocks. That’s far above China (24%) & India (37%); only Japan (84%) & South Korea (80%) rely more.

#Endangerment

Lots of of good stuff, except whether the vote will actually count - #makevotesmatter

There is No Scientific Justification to Revoke the Endangerment Finding The U.S. EPA's decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding will limit the government's ability to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

AGU Denounces Trump Administration’s Repeal of the EPA Endangerment Finding In 1856, American scientist Eunice Foote made history by publishing the first academic paper demonstrating that carbon dioxide traps heat from the Sun, a discovery that laid the foundation for climate...

The American Geophysical Union unequivocally condemns this reckless and senseless decision.

AGU is a global community supporting more than half a million advocates and professionals in the Earth and space sciences.
