it's simple. the moment no one will buy their stocks anymore that's the moment they'll change.

Clearly climate change is not enough of a priority to many, and thus maximizing shareholder value that's what they'll do.

There's nothing wrong about it: you need to convince investors first.

NDC's for COP30.

Look .. in Holland (ex Royal Dutch) Shell is still one of the most popular/coveted employers for recent college and university grads.

I guess that makes them serial killers now too.

Bro.. either get a life.. or get some mental help.

We just had Dutch elections. Climate change was not part of any debate, and it ranked 5th to 8th or so on priorities for voters. So it's not even that important to most.

Long queues for opening of Shein store in Paris despite child sex doll row World-first physical store for Chinese e-commerce giant embroiled in controversy

Oh yeah?

People support a good cause - b/c it makes them feel good. They don't act like it. Flying's never been bigger under gen-Z and millennials despite massive climate support.

Shein opens store in France: outrage against sustainability violations, yet: www.connexionfrance.com/news/long-qu...

Serial killer... really? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It'll go to 80% for sure which is probably more realistic anyway. Additional fail saves: economic eval every two years. Land sink reductions impact targets.

We can't be doing this alone and household costs thru the roof, industry leaving. We gotta be realistic from NatSec perspective as well.

Or, Alternatively, affordability was. A topic both centrist candidates in VA, NJ and progressive candidates can find each other in a unified message.

That's why it's so important critical metals and technologies including geoengineering are viewed through a NatSec, geopolitical and geoeconomic lens.

As the west we need to make sure we dominate in those technologies and supply chains.

Total and per capita GHG emissions of the six largest GHG emitters

Lets give credit where credit is due to @ec.europa.eu and the work of the @eea.europa.eu

The EU were the only ones to decrease emissions AND per capita emissions in 2024

Emissions decrease - 2.1%
Per capita emissions decrease - 2.2%

This must be applauded! 👏🏻

What are the effects of an Arctic ‘tug-of-war’ on Britain and Ireland’s winter weather? How might Arctic sea-ice loss affect Britain’s weather? That is the question a team of researchers from the University of Exeter and the Met Office have been investigating.

UK winters are caught in an Arctic “tug-of-war”

As the Arctic warms 3x faster than global, the jet stream shifts, altering storm paths

⬆️ extreme sea-ice loss = milder and wetter south

⬇️ loss = stormier north

The Arctic decides how the UK shivers or soaks

To compare Norway's Sovereign Wealth Fund - a fund put in place to socialize and democratie oil profits - with a serial killer is exactly the type of hyperbole that prevents a much broader, pragmatic, coalition from fixing the climate. Not exactly mass resonance with a description like that.

Nonsense. Current implemented policies lead to 2.8C the article states. We are only adding more policies, so we'll bend the curve even more towards 2-2.5C.

🎯

Nonsense. VA and NJ are moderates. But what WAS universal was affordability. Just like it was when Trump won. It's neither a shift to the left or right.

It's what it has been since forever but democrats forgot about for a while with identity politics.

Now Republicans are stuck in it.

Let's first decide this is a strategic technology and make sure we in the west dominate it.

With the current geopolitics and geoeconomics, NatSec constraints come first and our global position needs to be strong before we talk about global coordination.

I've always believed it HAS to go thru pocketbook issues and economy.

We know triggers from tech industry.

Dutch great example. Once ppl published back of enveloppe calc. you could make money with rooftop solar, it exploded.

Once vibe changed, homeowners stopped.
Solar contractors went bust.

OTOH affordability is the key political message everywhere. Green tax will only taint the green transition because it's associated with the opposite.

Yes but taliban or christian nationalism in USA are incomparable to the influence and - in the end ability to compromise - the SGP has in Holland.

Holland being one of the most secular nations (in..) since the 1970s. So they kind of fold in, surely have their challenges on occasion but impact?

Hey guys then don't fire your political team.....

Teen Vogue politics seemed like one of the few last bastions for actual reporting. I don't know you, but I know you deserve better than this.

Teen Vogue political reporting was some of the best in recent years. I am sorry to learn that the magazine leadership is pivoting from this vital work.

I'm in my 30s and I was still learning from them. Just bummed for us all that they killed it. I hope the writers all find success elsewhere.

Im 16. The political pieces on Teen Vogue helped increase my political awareness this past year so thank you, and I hope you and your coworkers can get hired elsewhere soon!!

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

‼️ Chinese refineries are refusing russian oil after US sanctions against Rosneft and Lukoil, Bloomberg reports.

It is noted that state giants Sinopec and PetroChina have already canceled a number of planned deliveries. Even private refineries are temporarily suspending purchases

🔥🔥🔥

Oh even Scandinavia are the bad guys now? Fuck off trying to taint them. It sounds pathetic.
