We see here a self-styled "honest broker" with decades of experience in downplaying climate change presenting an age-old climate denial trope: using *annual* rainfall data as argument against an increase in *extreme* rainfall. Does he *really* not know better? Or assume his readers won't? 🧵1/5

🌍 BREAKING: The UN #HRC just passed a #Climate & #HumanRights resolution, but without naming #FossilFuels. 💬 “We deeply regret the continued failure of the Council’s members to explicitly call for an equitable phase-out of fossil fuels, the root cause of the crisis.” - Sébastien Duyck, CIEL. ⬇️

The more we discover, the worse it gets. Now we learn the water companies wrote the guidance ensuring sewage sludge is not tested for the vast majority of contaminants before being spread on farmland. They gave themselves a free licence to dump hazardous waste. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🔴 The EU’s updated Climate Law falls short of delivering the real solutions needed to reach real zero. The new proposal rely on international carbon offsets and #CDR — approaches that undermine climate ambition and delay real emission cuts. Read more 👇 www.realzeroeurope.org/resources/pr...

As the United States cuts science funding and international cooperation, Australia and other countries see a chance to capitalise on the American brain drain.

Elon Musk casually, and illegally, dismantled USAID. According to a new study in the Lancet, that action will lead to *14 million* premature deaths between 2025 and 2030. Again: Elon Musk is directly responsible for 14 million coming deaths. 4.5 million will be children.

This is an absolute lie. Worse, this is the person responsible for making those kids less safe and he's trying to deny the damage he caused.
