The next best time to leave this platform is now. We've seen plenty of idiocracy since Elon took over, but campaigning for the fascists of the German #AfD crosses the line. I’m out. You can find me on #BlueSky ✌️ lohseale.bsky.social

In Syrien wird ein Diktatur gestürzt. Und in Deutschland macht sich bei einigen Freude breit: Nicht über den Sturz des Barbaren, sondern darüber, jetzt Syrer abzuschieben. Man weiß nicht, wofür man sich mehr schämen soll: Für die politische Ignoranz oder die Empathielosigkeit.

Testlabor des Grauens. Über den Einsatz von israelischen bewaffneten Mini-Drohnen, sogenannten "Quadcopters", die im Gazastreifen Angst und Schrecken verbreiten. @tazgezwitscher taz.de/!6048058/

Holocaust-Forscher Omer Bartov sah bis vor wenigen Monaten keine Anzeichen für einen Völkermord in Gaza. Hier erklärt der Israeli, warum sich seine Meinung geändert hat – und Olaf Scholz falsch lag.

Last panel of the Gulf Studies Center’s (@QUGulfStudies) 9th Annual International Interdisciplinary conference brings diverse & strong #Khaleeji voice.
This panel has scholars from #Oman🇴🇲 #SaudiArabia🇸🇦 #Qatar🇶🇦 & #Kuwait🇰🇼 discussing policy-making, national security & welfare.
Liebe @hessenSPD,
als Genosse ist man ja durchaus Leid gewöhnt, gerade wenn man mit Koalitionspartner*innen Kompromisse schließen muss. Aber jetzt ein #Genderverbot mitzutragen und das Spielchen von AFD, Söder und Co mitzuspielen ist bodenlos!

Important to note: Saudi Arabia and Russia were the countries preventing stronger fossil fuel phase out language in #COP28.
What gives hope for a 1.5° future: Their positions keep losing support, even from fossil fuel relient countries, like Colombia.
Also this is not on #UAE. The Saudis would easily put this failure on them because UAE is obviously an #oil & #gas producer. But the last thing the Emiratis wanted is digging their heals on #FossilFuelPhaseOut alienating 80+ countries. No no this is against the UAE not for them!

This is really significant
Now at #COP28 we are witnessing 127+ countries support the phase out of ALL fossil fuels
An increase from 80 countries at #COP27
At #COP26 the debate was just on coal phase out/down, not #fossilfuels
We have made real progress - the pressure is on🌎
New analysis by PICAN & @PriceofOil:
This year, over 127 countries support phasing out fossil fuels at COP, a significant increase from last year when 80 countries only called for a phaseout or phase down, restricted to the electricity sector.

Very interesting to see the language of the UAE presidency in anticipation of a possible failure of #COP28: "move from the Presidency's Action Agenda to the Parties Action Outcomes" = We are not to blame if the outcome is not what it could have been.
As we move from the Presidency’s Action Agenda to the Parties Action Outcomes, find out more about what’s actually happening in Dubai.
Time is running out to keep 1.5 within reach. We must unite, act and deliver.

Meeting now with the High Ambition Coalition to discuss the latest #COP28 texts.
We need to keep a 1.5 degree figure alive. It is what science demands and our kids deserve.

In 8 years of attending climate talks, I have never felt so much like we're getting real about what matters. It's kind of blowing my mind.
Day 11 of #COP28, and the Arabic tradition of Majlis has Ministers talking straight about the realities of phasing out fossil fuels 🧵

🚨 Das @OPECSecretariat ruft Mitgliedsstaaten laut Leak dazu auf, den Ausstieg aus fossilen Energien bei der #COP28 zu blockieren, ua. weil das “die Zukunft” gefährden würde.
Sehr gefährlich & sehr absurd zu welchen Mitteln die #OPEC greift. Sie sieht, dass wir gewinnen könnten.
Columbia's response to Saudi Arabia at #COP28 : Beyond 1.5 °C there will be no adaptation but only loss and damage to deal with.
Will be intersting to see what the final result of these negotiations will be.
It is rare to see direct clashes at COPs. But we just witnessed one at today's plenary at #COP28, when Saudi Arabia's plea to focus on adaptation & emissions instead of fossil fuels was followed by this remarkable statement by Colombia (my transcription).
But see for yourselves..

Most at #COP28 are talking about tripling renewables by 2030 - France, UAE and others would like to see the same for nuclear energy by 2050.
Tripler les capacités nucléaires du monde d'ici 2050 : à la COP28, nous sommes déjà une vingtaine de pays à porter cet objectif.
Rendez-vous en Belgique pour le premier Sommet Nucléaire en 2024.
