Equinor has pledged to keep Norwegian petroleum production at current levels until at least 2035. The interesting thing about this is that it would follow the most aggressive scenario put forward by government agencies... (the government owns 67% of Equinor) 1/

2023's record heat was caused by a combination of human-caused emissions and natural fluctuations in weather phenomena like El Niño, @cicero_klima and Reading Meteorology research finds. reading.ac.uk/news/2024/Rese…

Every year as part of the annual Global Carbon Budget release we publish a projection of the current year's fossil CO₂ emissions. Here's the current state of that for international aviation, projected to rise by 13.9% this year, continuing the return to pre-pandemic levels. 1/2

I have an op-ed in Aftenposten (Norwegian) arguing that Norway & its petroleum company Equinor (67% ownership) say one thing, but do another. Equinor has a plan for net zero, yet is full speed ahead on maintaining today's production levels. aftenposten.no/meninger/debat… 1/

🇸🇪Sweden removed it's "Climate bonus" scheme for EVs in early 2023 on the grounds that total cost of ownership is now similar to ICEs. The effect of this policy change is clear. Acceleration of EV sales has stopped, and sales have decline in 2024. 1/2

Did this tweet get lots of attention because of its negative framing? How about this: 📢*Despite* removing its "Climate bonus" EV incentives in early 2023, 🇸🇪Sweden's sales of 🚗EVs are still 32% of total in 2024 so far!!

This is a nice figure showing how reserves &resources can be extended via technology & exploration. For climate, a key question (for me) is the share of investment that goes into extending reserves (technology) or extending resources (exploration). sodir.no/en/whats-new/p…
