Final document for #COP30 just dropped and here are some hot takes 1/ No decisive language about FF phaseouts. This is a HUGE loss. The consolation prize is a political process toward phaseouts outside the official decisionmaking of the #ParisAgreement

As explained at the 🔗, the reviews took place between April 2016 (Beijing) and October 2018 (Rome) and were chaired by the OECD. They were scheduled to continue in 2019 (pairing Argentina and Canada), but were delayed. Then the COVID-19 pandemic created an interruption that proved to be permanent.

🌪️As global climate disasters mount, the insurance protection gap is widening. Natural disasters caused US$320 bn in losses globally in 2024, according to Munich Re. But Japan remains an exception: its insurance protection gap isn’t yet pronounced.👇

With all the noise on climate @netzerotracker.bsky.social's Stock Take is the signal. The finding that sticks in my head: 🇺🇸US corporate net zero targets grew 9% over last 12 months, 279 ➡️ 304 Yes, some are blowing with the political wind. But more are stepping up. zerotracker.net/analysis/net...

This is big (and bad) news: New Zealand's government has withdrawn from the Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance, which a previous NZ government joined at the Glasgow climate summit in November 2021.

I’m obsessed with protecting seals: ‘The flying ring toy was deeply embedded in her neck’ 🦭 It broke my heart to see a seal so injured by a £1 plastic toy. Now I campaign to ban them – and it has changed my life. 👏 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Prime Minister Carney last night: “it’s time to build an industrial strategy that makes Canada more competitive while fighting climate change” 🙌🙌🙌

Treasury Sec Bessent just signaled at a closed-door JPMorgan event that the US-China tariff standoff (currently 145% US tariffs, 125% China tariffs) is "not sustainable" and will de-escalate "in the very near future." Trump later confirmed final tariffs won't be "anywhere near" current levels. 1/

The crisis for UK steel is exposing another – perhaps even bigger – crisis for the UK Our news media seems incapable of even the most basic factchecking YES energy for UK steelmakers is costly NO it's not due to net-zero YES it is due to GAS Here's what UK media isn't telling you🧵

In mid-March, @fredericmerand.bsky.social started an important conversation about whether Canada should consider trying to join the EU and now we have a bunch of thoughtful responses. I was happy to add my take: www.ecsa-c.ca/post/canada-...

Precisely nobody on Bluesky cares but WTI is back below $60. Jeez louise.

Another fun analogy is that tariffs to “re-industrialise” the US is a bit like using (massive, sudden) carbon pricing to completely reshape your energy systems.

Good morning with good news: 80 nations produced more than 50% of their electricity from clean sources in 2024. 47 nations generated more than 75% from clean sources. Clean sources at 40.9% exceeded 40% of world's electricity for 1st time since 1940s! ember-energy.org/app/uploads/... #energysky

Wind power, which now supplies 25% of Finland's electricity, puts the lid on coal's coffin in Finland by bringing coal's output down from 23% in 2003 to <1% this week with the closure of the Salmisaari coal plant. www.renewableenergymagazine.com/wind/finland... @christianonre.bsky.social

US banks, after pulling out of global agreements to avoid financing climate change, "now expect a 3C world" expected lead to catastrophic heatwaves, floods& economic strife On the upside, the banks think the air conditioning sector could grow by 41% www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is injecting bleach for the entire global economy. And he's not just floating the idea: he's holding the syringe.

Joking aside re: that Atlantic piece. If you read some of the exchanges, you get the sense that various aides believe reopening shipping lanes in the Red Sea will be speedy and straightforward. That's unrealistic, and it touches on an ideological schism in Trumpworld. 🧵

Again, this theory that "more fossil fuel production and less climate stuff = high share price" theory really doesn't seem to hold water

As expected: BP will be giving up on greenwashing and misleading targets and instead be honest about its long-term, long-held strategy to expand the sale and use of fossil fuels

A direct view into Donald's mind

One more factoid to question the idea that rolling back green regulation will magically spring Germanys economy back to life. Germanys exports of clean tech are now already a larger line of business than its exports to China ever were. Beware the false realists here too.

A reminder that the only way for Europe to reduce exposure to volatile fossil gas prices is to significantly reduce gas consumption.

This doesn’t look good. But it also does NOT mean it’s too late to act! Every little action counts, every tenth of a degree less warming will save lives, ecosystems, and money! #climateaction #climatecrisis #climateactionnow climateactiontracker.org/press/releas...

America's demand for fossil gas is set to increase - no, not for stuff like heating homes or the power grid - but almost entirely due to the fact that sending gas overseas is itself a process that consumes HUGE amounts of gas www.eia.gov/todayinenerg... www.eia.gov/todayinenerg...

It is really wild how the fossil fuel industry in Aus has managed to spread the false perception that the Aus economy relies on fossil fuel sector jobs + cash www.industry.gov.au/publications... australiainstitute.org.au/report/clima...

Terrific paper showing how IPCC climate scenarios are conditioned & limited by the corporate history of scenario making starting with RAND, then Shell. Ironic how RAND & Shell turned away from quantification for inability to explore relevant futures, but climate scenarios mostly missed this turn. 🔌💡

More evidence that finance is following sentiment on climate mitigation elsewhere, rather than leading it.

fascinated by a rhetorical strategy i see all the time now, which is making up an extreme edge case to argue against doing anything for the public good, and doing this from the putative left.

Finally found a moment to update my data on this. 2024 will certainly end up showing Norway's highest investment in new oil and gas supply ever. And this dataset shows even our own gov't can't predict how huge these numbers are going to be www.ssb.no/en/statbank/...
