Every paper published henceforth on #climate impacts will point to the same conclusion… 1.5C is the upper limit that human civilization will be able to handle. carbonbrief.org/half-of-worlds…

This is a really important paper (recap by ⁦Carbon Brief⁩). In the ⁦One Earth⁩ climate model we discount carbon removal potential of regeneration on degraded lands for a period of 20 years. carbonbrief.org/logged-tropica…

The goal of tripling renewable energy by 2030 is perhaps the most ambitious specific target set by any COP president.. fascinating that it comes from an Oil & Gas CEO. That would put the world on track to 1.5C. Let’s hope #COP28 will succeed! politico.eu/article/cop28-…

As we’ve been saying for a *long* time we desperately need a global reckoning on carbon offsetting. Verra is being singled out but all the verifiers have the same problems — additionality, leakage, double counting, human rights violations, etc. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Great condensation of the IEA 1.5C report by Carbon Tracker. As usual I think the IEA greatly underestimates how fast this is going to start to go.. carbontracker.org/reports/on-tra…
