@EUCommission Unfortunately, unless the @EUCommission massively ramps up its production of renewables then we risk being dependant on others who are not 'reliable' the 'Middle East' and indeed the USA too ... and that's to say nothing of #climatechange ... which has consequences for us, Russia, African and indeed all humanity ...

'Future UN climate summits should be held only in countries that can show clear support for climate action and have stricter rules on fossil fuel lobbying, according to a group of influential climate policy experts.'
'The group includes former UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon, the former president of Ireland Mary Robinson, the former UN climate chief Christiana Figueres and the prominent climate scientist Johan Rockström.' #UNFCCC #COP29 #climate
“You have every right to be angry. I am angry too,” the UN chief posted on social media on Thursday following his meeting with youth representatives and young environmental activists. “I am angry because we are on the verge of the climate abyss, and I don’t see enough urgency or political will to address the emergency.”

#ClimateDiary We are reaching #DontLookUp levels of warning by scientists about the catastrophic effects of the (very probable!) stopping of #AMOC. Nordic countries plunged into cold, rest of planet boiling. Please do read this.
But guess what: #DontLookUp!

Hi @CarbonBubble
Do you know of any modeling what societal collapse at 2.7C warming might look like?
Is there an expected number of additional deaths associated with each degree of warming for example? Not just directly but from agricultural 'change' or collapse, land use and habitation, etc. Wondering how to make this meaningful to people ...
Planet on course for 2.7C rise in temperature, warns report from @CarbonBubble

How oil and gas companies🛢️ disguise their #methane emissions https://buff.ly/3UPOARJ
Among the 30 largest #oil & #gas🛢️ producers, not one has set a comprehensive strategy to address the sources of their #emissions & adequately reduce the release of #methane, a potent greenhouse gas, according to new analysis from Carbon Tracker https://buff.ly/3UTSnh0
Trading ‘carbon offset credits’ doesn’t stop emissions from entering the atmosphere and warming our world – they just provide a smokescreen to stop those emissions from appearing on the ledgers of polluters

One of the MOST IMPORTANT THINGS your city could do to become more healthy, sustainable, livable, affordable, equitable, successful — stop pretending to “balance” transportation modes, and commit to PRIORITIZING walking/rolling, biking, public transit. HT Dublin Cycling’s great graphic.
"The hearings will begin on Monday, December 2, with over 100 countries and organizations presenting in 30 minute increments over two weeks. At the request of the UN General Assembly, the #ICJ will determine the existing financial liability of countries for their contribution to #ClimateChange and what actions countries must take to prevent climate change. The advisory opinion, while non-binding, could set a new standard for climate litigation."
