Just listened to Jim Skea speak at coalition.climateaction.org/webinar/cop29-… At 22.55 Jim notes: for 1.5°C, & based on the latest carbon budgets, we need cuts of 7.5% per year from 2024. But the maths for the same budget suggest cuts of 21% per year. Political acceptability is running amok!

We’re Almost There—Help Us Hit 1 Million Endorsers: We’re on the brink of something extraordinary: over 998,000 individuals have endorsed the Treaty so far. This milestone is a powerful statement from us all 🌏✊📣Please Endorse the Treaty Now: fossilfueltreaty.org/individual-end…

1️⃣ People are asking why Labour is backing the Conservatives' carbon capture plans, which rely heavily on new gas & hydrogen plants. I'll do a fuller thread on this, but I've just found an important new reason, and it would be laughable if not so serious. A quick explainer 🧵

Another great thread from Dr. Aaron Thierry , explaining why acting now makes a difference. Our agency is key.

Scientists are trading lab coats for protest banners. Faced with government inaction on the climate crisis, they feel duty-bound to act—risking arrest to demand change. Meet the brave scientists behind @ScientistsXRebel in my latest for @NewClimate_ 🔗 medium.com/the-new-climat…

The principle of net zero has quite obviously been captured by corporate interests, as we see below:

California’s wildfire season is typically runs from June or July through to October. While January wildfires aren’t unprecedented recent data show the season is beginning earlier & ending later due to rising temperatures and decreased rainfall tied to #ClimateChange.

some of the best #climate writing I've ever read, by Peter Kalmus please read it (link in first reply) and share it with everyone you know

Scientists are among those most trusted by the public. And scientists are telling us clearly that climate breakdown is happening now - and that we are the cause. So please support us in our efforts to curtail the harms and damages we will all face if we don't act now

Disregard the misinformation surrounding the causes of these fires. The science is clear and unambiguous.

Winter wildfires are a climate warning.

Grim news for the climate. Less reflective ice means more solar heat absorbed by the darker oceans—faster warming. It’s time for politicians to take their heads out the sand and brief the public on the seriousness of this crisis. theguardian.com/environment/20…
