There must be a moratorium on logging within the proposed Great Koala National Park. Forestry corp NSW is destroying this incredible forest at pace. (Great Koala National Park: NSW government logging inside proposed park boundaries) smh.com.au/environment/co…

This is spot on - “The center cannot hold.  Liberalism will always collapse, inevitably handing power to fascists, and this is not acceptable.  There is only one way to overcome this deadly impasse, and that is to mobilize a socialist alternative.”

“Bad Process & Worse Outcome”. Report on how rules for new UN-governed carbon market were rushed without inter-governmental scrutiny & discussion & why exactly the rules are problematic (no exclusion of risky tech, no science-based definitions etc) #COP29 drilled.media/news/COP29

Amos Goldberg, Professor of Genocide Studies at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem "Yes, it is genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained" Is there anyone more qualified and unbiased?

Prospects for #climatefinance at #COP29 do not look good. Deadlock can provide an opportunity for issue linkage. It’s time to get creative and think outside the #UNFCCC box. Developing countries have options. They should swing for the fences. 🧵

So true, how do we get policy actions that take us to real zero emissions? “WGIII set again to favour economic fairytales over physical reality.”

Is it a joke? New #NCQG #COP29 text: - US$ 250 billion/ year - Wide variety of sources - No #LossAndDamage - Includes funds mobilised by the MDBs

"No deal is better than a bad deal." Harjeet Singh 🚨 The new #COP29 climate finance goal just dropped—$250B/year by 2035—and it's unacceptable. ❌ Falls far short of the trillions needed. ❌ No commitment to grants—just more debt. It's time for justice, not loans. Watch, share,

#COP29 is about the future of the international climate regime. If approved, current text will be used by developed countries kill the very idea that they owe climate finance to the Global South. It's not about just a number. It's about the core idea of obligations.

#Cop29 approves rules on carbon trading after 9 years of negotiations - Carbon markets are v controversial with widespread evidence that they have been largely ineffective so far, says @pgreenfielduk #Liveblog 👇 theguardian.com/environment/li…

🔨#COP29 adopted 1st set of decisions mins ago, incl. highly controversial decisions on carbon markets 🗣️make no mistake: bad decisions opening door to reliance on offsets as alternatives to real #ClimateAction are not something to celebrate as they undercut #ParisAgreement

#COP29 NCQG decision was adopted without consensus by the Azerbanji President's fiat. This is contrary to the procedure of the COP. Is NCQG decision therefore not valid? Cuba, India, Bolivia objects to NCQG decision adopted(?) by the COP.

This is one of my favourite excerpts from Amitav Ghosh's acceptance speech. There are more, but this illustrates the pathology of this necrophilic moment.

🎉to make more bearable listening to some statements delivered at #ClimateJustice oral hearings ongoing at 🇺🇳⚖️International Court of Justice, here is yr Climate Injustice BINGO… The more of these terms in a submission, the less aligned with the hope for #ClimateJusticeAtTheICJ

Everywhere you look it’s the echo of the South African anti-apartheid movement - ordinary people, artists & workers refusing to be complicit in genocide whilst our political & media class cozy up to racists & murderers. Respect to Jasleen Kaur ✊🏿✊🏾🇵🇸

Review? The #NSWForestCorps should be sacked, they're not only economicaly negligent, they're a killing machine, destroying threatened species & their habitats daily. Yet Chris Minns aides them, exacerbating the #ClimateCrisis & #BiodiversityCollapse abc.net.au/news/2024-12-1…
