John, a PhD candidate in Mathematics, joined a coalition of groups targeting BlackRock finance in New York City. John said " I took action because we are running out of time to maintain a livable planet. The science is clear: there can be no new oil and gas investments." 1/2

The framing here is always the same - it isn't the heavy reliance on expensive gas making power expensive - it's wind's fault for not displacing gas 100% of the time, at 100% of capacity. That way the root cause gets ignored and even worsened.
BREAKING: UK wholesale day-ahead electricity prices surge to a **record high** as cold, dry and calm weather cripples wind production and sends demand soaring. On the EPEX platform, UK baseload for Monday clears at £674 per MWh, while evening peakload clears >£2,000 per MWh

Our economic growth approach is geared on the extraction and burning of fossil fuels and the exploitation of nature. How many more hectares of native forest will be logged how many more animal species will became extinct, how much more plastic will be pumped into the environment?

There was a Keystone oil spill this week in Kansas that's the largest for an onshore crude pipeline in over 9 years, and by far, the biggest in the history of the Keystone pipeline. This should be much bigger news.

The @IEA’s bombshell new report on renewables has incredibly good news. For example, solar is undergoing a mega boom & may surpass coal by 2027 Below is a 🧵 on genuinely good news on green energy from the IEA & beyond (1/22) Cc: @Noahpinion @JesseJenkins @ramez @dwallacewells

My summary of #COP27. The process is important, but must go through a reform. There is nothing left to negotiate. COP must focus on delivery. It was quite painful to experience the 2. mismatch between the inertia in the negotiating rooms & the momentum in the open pavilion zones.
"While 1.5°C is a scientific necessity and potentially physically possible, #COP27 shows that it is politically dead." PIK Director @jrockstrom after #cop27egypt came to a close last weekend. 👉Follow pik_klima on Instagram for more videos! 🎵unminus.com

Housing policy is climate policy. Transportation policy is climate policy. Equity policy is climate policy. Public health policy is climate policy.

Pleased to announce that we achieved a deal to set up the fund for @LossandDamage at @COP27P . Congratulations to all the negotiators involved! Great victory for the vulnerable developing countries and people
Just arrived at the @COP27P venue on Saturday afternoon (a day after the official end of COP27!). Still no agreement!! If there is no agreement on setting up the @LossandDamage Fund here by tonight the whole COP will have been a failure. Only a few hours left to prove me wrong!

⅔ of young people consider the main driver of #ClimateChange to be deforestation, 90% of which (as per the UN) is driven by agricultural production. Then why are Gen-Z not nearly as concerned about the impact of agriculture and meat consumption?
Gen Z (b. after 1995) overwhelmingly believe that climate change is being caused by humans and activities like burning of fossil fuels, deforestation and waste. But only a third understand how livestock and meat consumption are contributing to emissions. scimex.org/newsfeed/most-gen…
