The oil and gas industry has foisted its cleanup costs on the public for decades. They won't get away with it for much longer. Check out PolluterPays.org

A tougher litmus test for China will come next year when the world’s largest emitter updates its climate targets. With a lack of new action in Baku to accelerate emissions reductions, China’s NDC will need to deliver real ambition to keep the Paris Agreement alive. 4/4

Despite major headwinds, negotiators in Baku eked out a deal that is an important downpayment toward a safer, more equitable future. Though the agreement at least triples climate finance flowing to developing countries, the $300 billion goal is not enough 🧵

The EU has now also released its first @UNFCCC Biennial Transparency Report at #COP29. That’s a significant milestone in the implementation of the #ParisAgreement - congratulations, @EUClimateAction 🇪🇺🇺🇳🙌 #StandForParis ℹ️ More details here: climate.ec.europa.eu/news-your-voic…

Trust is at the heart of reaching agreement in any negotiation. That’s why transparency in climate negotiations is so important. #TeamGermany is proud to be named a @UNFCCC transparency reporting champion! 🇩🇪🇺🇳🙌 #Together4Transparency @BMWK @StefWenzel @BMZ_Bund @GermanyDiplo

"Drill baby drill" Just remember Trump is only saying the quiet part out loud. The US has been drilling baby drilling its way to the world's top oil producer via several Presidents...

Inflation decided this election. In our age of overlapping emergencies we urgently need a new inflation fighting toolbox. If the only way to fight inflation is to hike interest rates with the goal of throwing people out of work, we push voters into the arms of the far right.

A reminder that it is our modern industrial civilization’s accelerating demand for materials that drives fossil fuel consumption, ecocide & the West’s imperialist assaults on the Global South. In 6 recent years we've consumed nearly as much as we did in the entire 20th century.

For anyone unsure of how Netanyahu is responding to Trump's election, appointing Yechiel Leiter as the next Israeli ambassador to Washington is as clear a signal is it gets. It is placing all of his chips on a singular policy direction 1/

Exit polls indicate that 79% of American Jews voted for Kamala Harris. If that figure is accurate, then Trump received the lowest share of the Jewish vote in 24 years. The reason for this is that for non-Orthodox Jews, liberalism has become an integral element of what being…

MSNBC should have Kornacki go through climate data with the same enthusiasm. “Here you can see an EXTRAORDINARY rise in CO2. I’m also keeping a close eye on methane emissions which seem to be surging. All this means real trouble for…everyone.”

Living in the US or Europe does not make us impervious to #ClimateChange. And these unnatural disasters, now regular but still isolated under 1.3C of warming, will increase in frequency and magnitude, overlapping and compounding, until we phase out fossil fuels and halt warming.

At #COP29, nations must advance both robust climate finance goals and strengthened national climate commitments #NDCs. Turning commitments into action and funding loss & damage are critical steps for impactful climate action. go.wri.org/48fikgu
