OPEC's leaked goal to “proactively reject any [#COP28 ] text that targets fossil fuels, rather than emissions” is, I think, the 1st *explicit* admission of Big Oil's strategy to shift climate responsibility from supply/fossil fuels to demand/emissions. 1/n theguardian.com/environment/…

They say the treaty must be holistic – with more focus on early interventions and the people, places and ecosystems most impacted by plastic pollution

Explain to me again why you think climate change is not an emergency? From today's @nytimes. It seems very likely that all of these are enhanced by climate change.

Very glad to share that the final chapter of my dissertation on #PFAS is now published in @STOTEN_journal! Lots of blood, sweat, tears, and water were poured into this work over the past 4 years. Hope y'all check it out here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1hLab…

1⃣ After a month of cringe-reading studies on #FossilFuelSubsidies (FFS) written by non-experts, including some working for inter-governmental orgs, it is a joy to see this @WorldBank report on the Rep. of Congo's FFS, written by people who ARE experts.

“A crucial detail that is often overlooked in climate policy discussions is that it is not the deployment of carbon-free energy that reduces emissions — it is the retirement of fossil fuel energy.” open.substack.com/pub/rogerp…

The upshot for the political economy of an ambitious energy transition is that there are difficult obstacles for governments in affluent countries to navigate. But losses from stranded assets threatening socially-relevant pension and other savings should not be one of them.
Fredric Bauer retweeted
Some losses would be felt across the wealth distribution, eg in capital market-invested pensions. Governments should be concerned about such socially relevant losses. But they are tiny: in Europe less than the 2022 German Uniper utility bailout. They could be cheaply compensated.
