Compiled by Vatan Hüzeir, the latest cache of internal documents describing Big Oil's concealed knowledge of global warming is a gold mine. One bombshell is a confidential Shell scenario report from 1989 which imagined two futures: SUSTAINABLE WORLD and GLOBAL MERCANTILISM 🧵

Excellent piece. Also senseless as a climate response unless we decarbonize drastically is solar geoengineering - albeit for very different reasons.

"What we need is an international conversation. Solar geoengineering is a desperate measure and one that we should make every effort to avoid." My comments on CBS Saturday Morning

I think this is a good way to evaluate a company’s claims to be on board vis a vis the climate: “At a minimum, the company must have no new commitments to initiate new fossil fuel exploration, production or refining.” washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

Saddened to learn of Roger Payne's passing. I had the joy of researching humpback song with Roger in the early 1980s. He was as much an artist & musician as he was a scientist - passionate & intuitive. We hear the world differently because of him.

The European Commission takes a stand on #geoengineering - risks, impacts & unintended consequences poorly understood - new risks to people & ecosystems, could increase power imbalances - support for international efforts for an assessment & discussions on a governance framework

Après moi, le déluge

Closing the door to #solargeoengineering research means flying blind when someone decides to deploy - & leaving research to be funded by untethered private capital. What's needed is transparent, collaborative publicly funded research, w/in a primary commitment to mitigation.
