Excellent article. 'Speculative technologies must be removed from all policies, pledges and scenarios until we are sure of how they will work, how they will be monitored, reported and validated, and what they will do to not just the climate but the Earth system as a whole'

Global Warming's Economic Blow: 🆕 study by PIK scientists reveals that while the poorest bear the brunt of #ClimateChange, the economic risks from erratic weather are rising more rapidly for the rich. Countries like Brazil & China face severe impacts too: pik-potsdam.de/en/news/latest…

Global coal use (black) compared to scenarios that limit warming to 1.5°C with no or limited overshoot (blues). Not quite on track...

Hi Michael Walker & Aaron Bastani thanks for the segment on the sentencing of Just Stop Oil activists on Novara Media y'day. It was great this crucial topic was covered on your show, yet I couldn't help note some of your remarks lacked key context🧵1/n youtube.com/watch?v=KcspVc…

When you dig into the hidden detail of the government's carbon capture and storage programme, the sheer scale of fiscal and environmental irresponsibility is hard to comprehend. We could be on the hook for £50 billion, with zero benefit. My column. 🧵 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

English harvest second worst on record due to excessive rain. Now think about what this is likely to do to prices and food security. Climate change is here and it’s affecting how we live in ways both dramatic and more subtle. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Current policies make it likely that #globalwarming will exceed 1.5°C during the 21st century & make it harder to limit warming below 2°C. #IPCC's Synthesis Report underscores the urgency of taking more ambitious action. 👉 bit.ly/SRYRpt23

"I think the scientific community has done well on the science, but has done really very badly, dangerously badly, & deluded people, about how serious the challenges for us to reduce our emissions [are]- profound changes to buisness as usual" Kevin Anderson youtu.be/YmCgMfGWwG8

1/ We're rightly terrified of feedback loops and tipping processes in the climate system - but what about climate feedbacks in our social and economic systems? 🧵

'the group warned that the future economic outlook may be significantly worse. “It cannot be excluded that the economic effects of climate change might turn out to be even more severe than visualised...for instance, if certain tipping points are reached,” the report said'
