Thank you Benjamin Zephaniah. Rest in power.

Rest in power. May your killers be brought to justice.

Good COP, Bad COP! As #COP28 draws to a close, Prof Michael E. Mann & I make the case @LATimes for important changes to the COP process to keep the #oilandgas industry from continuing to subvert progress on #ClimateActionNow. Read our op ed, hot off the press: latimes.com/opinion/story/…

The actions taken by Licypriya Kangujam shown in this video are just so remarkably brave and incredibly, terribly sad.

“We are not just loud youth. We have grown up with these negotiations. We are policy experts who speak the truth. We will not stop. We will not rest until there is a full a commitment to phase out fossil fuels.” Youth climate action #cop28.

#COP28 live: More than 1000 scientists now backing statement to leaders: “For all intents and purposes, moving towards the phase-out of fossil fuel combustion is necessary to keep the 1.5C goal of the Paris agreement within reach.” #FossilFuelPhaseOut theguardian.com/environment/li…

"Mohamed Adow, said: "Rich countries say they want a global phase-out of fossil fuels, but they are refusing to fund it. There is simply not enough in the current text for developing countries to believe there will be finance to help them decarbonise.” theguardian.com/environment/20…

a truly great climate leader--thank you Vanessa Nakate for all you do

It is indicative of the world's total systemic failure to slow climate change that a child feels she must do the job of adults. heated.world/p/the-12-year-…

"Now or Never: A Wake-Up Call at the Eleventh Hour of #COP28" Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, esteemed procrastinators of planet Earth, welcome to the grand finale of COP28! What a show it's been, right? Imagine this: we're here, at the edge of making history, deciding

Science tells us that limiting global heating to 1.5°C will be impossible without the phase out of fossil fuels. This was also recognized by a growing & diverse coalition of countries at #COP28. The era of fossil fuels must end – and it must end with justice & equity.

To those who opposed a clear reference to phase out of fossil fuels during the #COP28 Climate Conference, I want to say: Whether you like it or not, fossil fuel phase out is inevitable. Let’s hope it doesn’t come too late.

Mary Robinson, Chair of The Elders, reacts to the final COP28 agreement: “The COP28 agreement, while signalling the need to bring about the end of the fossil fuel era, falls short by failing to commit to a full fossil fuel phase out. If 1.5°C is our ‘North Star’, and science

Intense fighting, lack of electricity, limited fuel & disrupted telecommunications severely restrict the United Nations's concerted efforts to provide life-saving aid to people in Gaza. Conditions to allow for large-scale humanitarian operations need to be reestablished immediately.

136 of our colleagues in Gaza have been killed in 75 days – something we have never seen in United Nations history. Most of our staff have been forced from their homes. I pay tribute to them & the thousands of aid workers risking their lives as they support civilians in Gaza.

Four out of five of the hungriest people anywhere in the world are in Gaza. As the conflict intensifies and the horror grows, we will continue to do our part. We will not give up. wfp.org/news/gaza-grap…

"...over $1 trillion going into fossil fuels in 2024. 1 trillion dollars! Oil & gas.. is on track to increase by 7% this year, following a similar rise last year. That is like pouring more gasoline onto a fire while you're trying to put it out." 🗣️David Tong, Oil Change International

NEW 🚨Since the Paris Agreement, 4 Global North countries - the US, Canada, Australia & Norway - blocked global progress on oil and gas phaseout. While the rest of the world reduced oil & gas production by 2%, these 4 countries increased it by nearly 40%. oilchange.org/publications/p…
