Let’s get something straight about fossil fuel phase-out: renewables needn’t replace all the coal, oil and gas we use today bc most of it is just used to produce and move those fossil fuels around! We only need to replace the useful energy: 37% of what we currently produce 🫨🧵
Landmark ruling in the Advisory Opinion by the ICJ on Climate Change. 1.5 degree C is legally the Planetary limit. All countries are legally obliged to comply. Even fossil-fuel subsidies can be illegal. States have duty to solve the planet crisis and can be held accountable.
Good riddance. If no new projects and a commitment to phase out causes the companies to abandon the standard than they were not committed to climate action in the first place. The no new projects (Ie stop growing the problem) is a useful bar to understand who plans to act and…
Shell and other fossil-fuel companies have abandoned the Science Based Targets initiative—a six-year-long attempt to define a global, corporate “net zero” emissions strategy—after being told that such a standard would require them to stop developing new oil and gas fields.
💥 WOW. International Court of Justice ruling: “Failure of the state to take appropriate action to protect the climate system from GHG emissions including through fossil fuel production, fossil fuel consumption, the granting of fossil fuel exploration licenses, or the provision…
Remember when IMF prescribed urgent action to cut fossil fuel emissions to avoid "emissons cliff edge"? Then why are they trying to slow solarisation in Pakistan to protect profits from gas plants?! 🤦♀️etenergyworld.com/s/3gvsjkm via @ETEnergyWorld

“Countries that cling to fossil fuels are not protecting their economies, they sabotaging them. Driving up costs. Undermining competitiveness. Locking in stranded assets,” Guterres said. theglobeandmail.com/world/article-…

The oil companies were never going to manage their own decline. You can't transition out of something by growing production. They should never have been allowed in the standard setting rooms. It has caused us a lot of time which has meant more people have lost lives and…

The age of fossil fuel is coming to an end. The rise of renewable energy is irreversible. On Tuesday, I will outline the key action areas required to turbocharge a renewables revolution that can deliver clean & affordable energy for all. Join me here: un.org/en/climatechan…
Smoke and mirrors have no place in building our green infrastructure. This legislation was a body-blow to democratic processes from the outset. Our wetlands and other precious ecosystems must be protected, now more than ever.
