@AirFranceFR why are you suddenly weighing carry-on at CDG at the security entrance AFTER bag check-in at the AF desk? Now, some extra kilos in my hand baggage cannot go into my UNDERweight checked bag. REALLY? Before the Olympics? Not smart business. An #AirFrance shakedown.
#OLYMP24 tourists beware @AirFranceFR hand baggage shakedown. They weigh and take your checked bag at check-in counter. Then have 2 other people waiting to weigh your carry-on at the security/passport control. Now waiting @AirFranceFR office for 40 minutes to dispute/pay.

As a VT Senator, I helped pass VT’s landmark climate law, the Global Warming Solutions Act, & invest $100 million in weatherization efforts for low-and moderate-income VTers.
In Congress, I’ll continue fighting to address climate change & make an economy that works for all.
Brava, Isabel and @TransformaGlob Inspired and inspiring choice #ClimateBreakthroughAward

One does not "believe" in climate science.
You either understand what our civilization is doing to the natural world or you don't.

Big news in advance of #COP26. Peeling off methane is doable, akin to the #MontrealProtocol’s laser focus on refrigerants. Taking a page from the pre Paris playbook. More Than 30 Countries Join U.S. Pledge to Slash Methane Emissions nytimes.com/2021/10/11/clima…

Who put up those emissions already warming the planet?

NEJM+Lancet common stand on #climatechange is big. But heads up, #CBD COP has been postponed, due to Covid. That’s big too. nytimes.com/2021/09/07/clima…
More Montreal Protocol co-benefits. 🙌🏼
The Montreal Protocol may have helped to mitigate climate change by protecting plants from UV damage, thereby avoiding a reduction in carbon storage and an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, reports a modelling study published in Nature. go.nature.com/3iVbuVh
Check out my #EUGreenDeal blog post today breaking it down. wordpress.com/view/climateen…
The make-or-break decade has already started.
Our first major climate milestone will be a 55% reduction of emissions by 2030.
And by 2050, we aim to make the EU climate neutral.
Today, we present concrete proposals to reach these goals: europa.eu/!ckCQgP

Despite Exxon's Trumpian efforts to play with the voting, dissidents pick up a third board seat in late counting!

Important article to read! Small is not always beautiful, especially when offloading methane-producing operations is part of big oil’s greening strategy.
Little-known oil and gas producers are now some of the biggest emitters of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. nyti.ms/3uGwTUU
Still amazed how mainstream 1.5C has become in the span of a couple of years, as opposed to 2C. So far, in the #SB2021 opening plenary, the EIG, AOSIS, EU, LDCs, and AILAC have referred exclusively to the 1.5C limit.

Today the @UNFCCC virtual #SB2021 starts. It's the first of its kind for the climate negotiations.
CAN will provide an update Twitter Thread every negotiation day at 12 GMT on the latest developments.

Whoa, strong language from @SEIclimate. How will @COP26 presidency address it at this week’s @COP26 logistics session at #SB2021 meeting?
87% of #COVID19 vaccines have gone to the world’s wealthiest countries, and only 0.2% to low-income countries.
This inequality threatens the extent to which #COP26 can be truly inclusive and representative of developing countries’ concerns. buff.ly/2SK43W5 #SB2021
Yup. Read this 4 more specifics on ruling’s legal basis. Holding Shell responsible for Scope 3 emissions reminds me of 1st-wave climate litigation from NSW courts in early 00s mandating enviro impact analysis of additional fossil fuel used when permitting expanded drilling.
Shell loses court case in the Netherlands that could ‘Trigger A Wave Of Climate Litigation Against Big Polluters’ google.co.uk/amp/s/www.forbe…
Very big step in climate litigation, even if only a trial court decision. Non-party (country) voluntary embrace of Paris Agreement norms, as in #RaceToZero, are moving us forward and faster.
Wow, Wow, Wow--Dutch court orders Shell to cut the absolute level of its carbon emissions almost in half by 2030. This could be game-changing

Climate-conscious shareholders of Exxon Mobil dealt the company’s management a defeat on Wednesday, electing at least two candidates activist investors had nominated to its board. nyti.ms/3vptBqa
