I grew up in Pakistan, which gets really, really unbearably hot in the summer. Here are some tips on how to manage the heat. 🧵

Following the great "Discourses of climate delay" article here is a version on lifestyles and sufficiency, which takes up 10 classic arguments against lifestyles changes and proposes counter arguments bonpote.com/en/10-misconce… - bonpote_EN Sarah Thiriot

Massive gas expansion risks overtaking positive climate policies. Our COP27 global update finds govts' focus on energy crisis has replaced #ClimateAction. Proposed, approved & under-construction #LNG projects globally likely to send emissions way past 1.5. bit.ly/3UMnyIG

BREAKING: New study in Nature Climate Change shows that academic research funded by fossil fuel companies is biased. Biased against renewables and toward promotion of fossil gas. Given Big Carbon's big money in academia, this should raise alarm bells. nature.com/articles/s4155…

In case you missed it (like me), last Friday Germany also announced that it will leave the #EnergyCharterTreaty. Another win for Yamina SAHEB @yamsaheb.bsky.social

You can't undo climate delay. You can't put action off until later. This is the rock-fucking-solid characteristic of the problem we are dealing with: a thing that accumulates. Not a ticking clock, but a flooding room, and the leak is getting bigger More delay = more harm #IPCC

This is very true, even for people... ahem.. who ought to have read more of it

The public discourse on climate change is shifting: a multi-country media analysis shows scepticism of the basic science is dying out, while sceptical narratives (often promoted by lobby groups) now target the climate solutions. theconversation.com/climate-change…

I like this notion of "insufficient absolute decoupling". It's something I've struggled to characterise in my own work: acknowledging that some countries are reducing emissions, but evaluating whether it is fast enough and hitting all sectors

Climate scientists and diplomats think that "opposition from special interest groups" is the most important obstacle to climate action. How come hardly any of us study it? iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

Since emissions reduction is 90% and CDR is 10%, this is the way I think about it: If we fail at CDR, we’ll mostly be okay. If we fail at emissions reduction, we’re screwed.
