IPCC input into Paris Agreement 2nd Global Stocktake, due in 2028, is under threat. This is critical. The IPCC input to first Stocktake was vital to call to transition away from fossil fuels, tripling renewables, reductions in methane and deforestation. climateanalytics.org/comment/ipcc...

There is increasing evidence that the Albanese government proposed changes to Australia’s in environmental assessment legislation could go backwards rather than forwards, in terms of environment, biodiversity and climate protection. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

New research out today demonstrates that reaching #realzero is achievable and economically competitive in many major emitting sectors. EU road freight could reach real zero by 2040, while global steel and shipping could reach real zero by 2050. climateanalytics.org/publications...

After years of political failure, the world can still rescue 1.5°C – if countries pursue the “highest possible ambition”, starting now. New report from Climate Analytics and @pik-potsdam.bsky.social shows how it’s possible. Read more: climateanalytics.org/publications...

Okay, yes, humanity did not enact the single best possible outcome in response to the single worst problem we have ever faced as a species In no way was it wrong to try, and in no way is it wrong to continue trying to jam a wrench in the greedy fossil fuel economy. Everything is still on the table

Ten years on, the Paris Agreement is working—just not fast enough. Our new report tracks 22 ways it’s changing the world: uniting countries behind 1.5°C and net zero, and cutting projected 2100 warming by ~1°C (≈3.6°C → ≈2.7°C). climateanalytics.org/publications...

Yesterday, the UN SG António Guterres said the world has failed to prevent overshoot of 1.5°C of warming, the Paris Agreement limit. This is a massive political failure. Urgent action is needed now to limit the magnitude and duration of overshoot. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Labelling heavy industry like steel as “hard-to-abate” allows them to argue against reducing emissions now, or to justify using CCS or offsets to meet climate goals. But existing tech and demand reduction can cut emissions in these sectors, writes @billhare.bsky.social on @climatechangenews.com

"Australia has the know-how and the opportunity to help lead the global energy transition to a clean energy future... But first we need to take our foot off the gas." @billhare.bsky.social in today's Guardian #auspol

There's a very nice new report from @climateanalytics.org on precisely this: "Hard to abate" has become its own form of subtle climate delay --->> @billhare.bsky.social @cindybax.bsky.social ca1-clm.edcdn.com/assets/Clima...

Our CEO @billhare.bsky.social called the new data “alarming and worrying.” “Let there be no mistake, this is a very clear warning sign that the world is heading into an extremely dangerous state – and this is driven by the continued expansion of fossil fuel development, globally.”

"Asia is at a crossroads: while these countries haven't yet gone down a high carbon capture and storage (CCS) route, many have tailored their CCS policies to protect their fossil fuel industry, especially in Japan, South Korea and Australia," @billhare.bsky.social told The Times of India.

REPORT: If Asian economies were to carry out their plans to deploy risky and expensive carbon capture & storage (CCS) to address fossil fuel emissions, they could add an extra 25 billion tonnes of emissions to the atmosphere by 2050. Their economies would suffer. climateanalytics.org/publications...

#China's new #climate target is unlikely to drive down emissions: the country will already achieve it under its current policies. It's a net target that includes land use & forestry; an absolute target wld be more transparent It's a shift from emissions & energy intensity to absolute emissions

In 2015, Labor chose a 45% by 2030 target, which was the lower end of the climate change authority's recommendation. In 2021, they weakened that to 43%, and the core line with that was "it's a floor, not a ceiling" (that's what all targets are????????????) ketanjoshi.co/2023/05/30/m...

Bill Hare @billhare.bsky.social - climate scientists and former IPCC Leas Author - says the recently released Australian NCRA **is one of the best risk assessments done globally** “a very fine piece of work” He’s far less enthusiastic about political silly statements www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

“Vanuatu's climate change minister criticised expected approval of the North-West Shelf gas project as "internationally wrongful" & legally contentious, as Australia's climate record comes under close scrutiny at Pacific Islands Forum.” www.sbs.com.au/news/article... 🔥Also morally reprehensible.

As the Australian government decides its new #climate targets, we've modelled 1.5°C compatible targets for both 2030 and 2035 that are credible and achievable, especially for a country wanting to host the COP31 climate talks next year. #auspol2025 #auspol 🧵 bit.ly/CA_Aus2035

The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years. CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years. But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kids’ futures. Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.

Former UN climate chief urges Australia to set ‘prosperity’ target of cutting emissions by 75% by 2035 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It's really quite impressive how strenuously everyone in this article avoids talking about fossil fuels. Nearly a fifth of Australia’s emissions now come from digging up and sending fossil fuels overseas. #auspol @australiainstitute.org.au australiainstitute.org.au/post/nearly-...

How do you assess climate loss and damage that defies monetary valuation - like the loss of cultural heritage? Our new @iki-germany.bsky.social project in the Pacific led by SPREP combines modelling and domestic knowledge to try and answer these difficult questions and plan for the future.

"Any investment in new fossil fuels now is a fool’s gamble, while joining the race to renewables can only bring benefits – not just jobs and cheaper energy at stable prices, but energy independence and access where it’s needed most", says @billhare.bsky.social on @theguardian.com.

The International Court of Justice #ICJ found that 1.5°C is the ‘primary goal’ under the Paris Agreement and countries must act on climate with the 'highest ambition' to meet this. Statement from @billhare.bsky.social explains what this means for #climateaction 👇

The #ICJ opinion calls for ambitious climate plans. The third round of Nationally Determined Contributions are due this year. The #AdvisoryOpinion is a powerful reminder that countries must put forth ambitious, 1.5°C-aligned NDCs.

Australia is one of the world’s top fossil fuel producers and exporters and is pushing more fossil fuel development. The ICJ advisory opinion on climate change should cause politician and decision makers to stop new fossil fuel developments immediately. reneweconomy.com.au/australia-on...

The International Court of Justice's advisory opinion on climate change, released yesterday, has massive implications for government action on climate. It's an incredibly strong and, I believe, historically important judicial opinion. www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-d...

“It’s incredibly motivating when stakeholders tell us how they’re using our results,” says @oliviawaterton.bsky.social. “Whether it’s in local meetings or national policy discussions knowing that my work is helping to push for higher climate ambition makes me feel like I’m making a real difference.”

From Plass's article "We shall be able to test the CO2 theory against other theories conclusively during the next half-century.... "if carbon dioxide is the most important factor, long-term temperature records will rise continuously as long as man consumes the earth’s reserves of fossil fuels."

Stiell thanks parties for approving the UNFCCC's budget, adding that "this is a modest but vital investment, because this process is humanity's only means of preventing climate-driven global economic meltdown, with terrible human costs. Just as we have no Planet B, there is no process B."

The Bonn climate talks, which concluded early Friday, were starkly out of step with the urgency the science demands.   New evidence from @IGCC_earth finds that global warming is accelerating, that we may reach the 1.5°C limit within five years unless emissions decline rapidly

The #ParisAgreement's "Article 6" rules governing purchases of intl carbon credits must drive real, additional & permanent emission cuts that lead to sustainable development, not shifted responsibility. Here, we explain how we'll treat Article 6 in our country ratings. bit.ly/CAT_Article6
