You may have seen that Chevron is sponsoring articles about Hurricane Helene. But do you know why? Because they're trying to convince people they're solving climate change BY DRILLING DEEPER INTO THE OCEAN FLOOR THAN EVER BEFORE heated.world/p/why-chevron-…

The UK govt. just pledged Ā£22 billion for fossil fuel companies to build #carboncapture projects that mean the UK would continue to burn fossil fuels for decades. My investigation for DeSmog and The Guardian shows how we got here... 1/6 desmog.com/2024/10/07/uks…

Amoc collapse scariest thing in climate crisis, for Europe, and has rapidly moved from ā€œterrifying but improbableā€ to ā€œonly too likelyā€. Can only hope that we climate journalists who warned of Amoc collapse get to be first in line at the rat barbecue.

Stirring Guterres speech on the "war against nature". Recognises environmental defenders, IPLCs who have been threatened and killed, communities of African descent. Talks of benefit-sharing from genetic data to bring "equity and inclusivity". Stresses on the $200bn/year target.

šŸ‘šŸ‘Our Deputy Director, @laurenObaker, calls out the rampant greenwashing of "regenerative agriculture" by Big Ag! With no clear definitions, corporations are using this buzzword to disguise business-as-usual practices that harm our planet. The solution? Universal definitions

This has been the worst first week of a COP in my 15 years of attending this summit. There’s no clarity on the climate finance goal, the quality of the finance or how it’s going to be made accessible to vulnerable countries. Some thoughts shared with AP apnews.com/article/cop29-…

McKinsey has known for years just how polluting its clients are, yet has still sought to position itself as a climate leader. Some of its employees wrote to senior partners at the firm complaining that its sustainability work was ā€œbeing used to launder the Firm’s reputation."
