And yet if you try and argue for air travel demand management (taxes, stop to airport expansion) in high-income countries, some will vehemently argue that doing that would be unfair towards the global poor 🤦‍♂️

'Implemented policies result in projected emissions that lead to warming of 3.2°C, with a range of 2.2°C to 3.5°C (medium confidence)'

According to the landmark, widely reported IPCC Synthesis Report published in 2023.

The The Guardian have just published a poll of IPCC scientists by Damian Carrington, showing almost 80% of respondents expect we'll cause a disastrous level of warming of >2.5C

This fits with other recent studies into scientists views, here's a🧵summarising some key results…

Climate experts were increasingly saying that keeping heating below 1.5C is near impossible, yet it remains the global goal. So I asked hundreds of top IPCC scientists what they thought. What they said shocked even me…

**Climate change is extremely unequal**

- There is inequality in who causes it
- There is inequality in who experiences the worst consequences
- There is inequality in who influences mitigation (or the lack thereof)

You cannot tackle climate change without tackling inequality!

“In 2022, the United States exported about 80 million metric tons of coal — equal to about 14 percent of US coal production. The United States is ranked fourth-largest exporter behind Indonesia, Australia, and Russia.” jacobin.com/2024/05/just-e…

You can always count on Drilled to excellently expose the sneaky (and disturbingly clever) ways fossil fuel companies try to guarantee an unmitigated climate catastrophe 🤯

This time it's exposing their infiltration of US universities and research.

Incredible mask-off moment: Romney and Blinken say that the ban of TikTok was directly because 'the emotion, the impact of images has a very challenging effect on the narrative', the narrative being 'Israel's PR'.

Very interesting research on the effects of labelling products with carbon emissions. Perhaps a larger effect on company behaviour than on consumers?

“Dissent must never lead to disorder” - President Biden.

From Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter From Birmingham Jail,” written in 1963:

Rubber bullets? Have you lost your mind UCLA? You are using rubber bullets against unarmed protestors who are *students* of your uni demanding you divest from genocide. You are attacking them to facilitate a quieter genocide. Fantastically gross legacy.

A recent study by Nielsen, Cologna, Bauer, and their team shows how behavioral science can revolutionize our approach to climate change. Curious? Check out their findings: doi.org/10.1038/s41558…. #ScienceForChange

Here's a closer look at what you can do:

So I was supposed to deliver the keynote at a @columbia symposium on climate and language this Friday, but I have informed the organizers that, with true sorrow, I am pulling out because I will not be associated with this university at this political moment.
