Today, the @IEA has started tracking progress of all 10 things that every country in the world committed to at @COP28_UAE.
You can't say there's no ambition!?... 🧵

Good afternoon (or morning, or evening). I went dark yesterday, really dark. But I managed to sleep and I have some clarity about the Al Ahli hospital massacre that I want to share with you. I'll only tweet this rambling thread today and then log off. Please read and share.

To limit global warming to '1.5°C with no or limited overshoot', the decline in global CO2 emissions relative to 2019 are:
* 48% by 2030
* 80% by 2040
* 99% by 2050
It is 2023 & global CO2 emissions are still rising!

In this ethnographic study of climate change and its impacts on Bangladesh, @CameliaDewan offers a vitally important corrective to simplistic narratives of global warming. 1/n

According to the #IPCC AR6 Synthesis Report, to limit global warming to '1.5°C with no or limited overshoot', then global CO2 emissions decline:
* 48% in 6 years
* 80% in 14 years
* 99% in 24 years
(thanks @_david_ho_ for reminding me to remind people)

1/ The penny is finally starting to drop that economists have catastrophicly underestimated the risk from #ClimateBreakdown.
Here's a🧵 of the latest reports that those working in finance urgently need to catch up on...

Das Erdklima bewegt sich gerade in einer Freakzone extrem unwahrscheinlicher Ereignisse.
Das bekommen zu wenige mit, deswegen kommen hier all die krassen Klima-Charts, die ihr sehen solltet 🧵

Nuclear #fusion will not only come too late to help solve the #climatecrisis. Even in the long run it will not be the unlimited energy source that some are dreaming of. The reason is basic physics, and anyone can do the back-of-envelope calculation. 🧵1/

world leaders said they'd try to stop the earth heating 1.5 degrees celsius but their policies will nearly double that (2.7c) and their action plans - excluding bits conditional on support from rich countries - give a 1-in-3 chance of passing 3c and a >5% chance of passing 4c (!)

A good piece by @HirokoTabuchi on the danger of rich countries taking (often dubiously additional) low cost emission reductions from poorer ones instead of doing the hard work to reduce their own emissions: nytimes.com/2022/11/07/clima…

Fantastic new "Summary for all" of the @IPCC_CH #AR6 report "The physical science basis" (ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/). Many key messages summarised simply and clearly.

there are a few times a year when broadcasters care about the accelerating demise of a hospitable planet so here are some tips for climate scientists doing tv and radio interviews to use airtime effectively 1/

1. Ein ordentliches paar eher unsortierte Gedanken zur Letzten Generation, nach Tagen aufgewühltester Reaktionen ein paar Erkenntnisse und Notizen über die Lage und die Dynamiken.

Our chapter in @GretaThunberg's Climate Book is about individual action, social transformation.
What’s that about then? Short 🧵 1/

By weight, we’ve done more to transform the planet’s atmosphere with the production of carbon emissions than we’ve done to the planet’s surface through the engineering and production of everything that humans ever built still standing today. Think about that for a second. (1/x)
I often say the most mind-bending fact about climate is that half of all emissions came in the last 25 years. Maybe even more startling: the weight of that carbon is more than the total mass of everything ever built by humans and still standing on earth. nytimes.com/interactive/2022…

BREAKING:
The #StateOfClimateAction Report analyzed 40 indicators of progress toward a net-zero world.
None of them are on track.
This is an urgent wake-up call for the urgent transformations needed across every aspect of our economy. Read the report: bit.ly/3smOZwa
