Less than 10% of power in Britain currently coming from fossil fuels. 63% from wind (as you'd probably expect). The dunkelflaute is over! grid.iamkate.com

“The terrible verdict from the Baku climate talks shows that rich countries view the Global South as ultimately expendable, like pawns on a chessboard. The $300 billion so-called ‘deal’ that poorer countries have been bullied into accepting is unserious and dangerous” Nafkote Dabi, Climate Change Policy Lead, Oxfam International
REACTION to #COP29 climate finance agreement.

Climate anxiety is real, widespread and intensifying. This 4 years+ weekly thread⬆️ aggregates good climate news and shows that climate action is widespread and has momentum. Keep on clicking, and clicking for a big dose of good climate news!

"Clean power by 2030" is "achievable…without increasing costs" & would insulate the UK from "volatile intl gas prices", says NESO
But we'll need to 2x onshore wind, 3x offshore wind & solar + massively ramp up flex & storage to get there
A few observations…🧵

This is what $7,000,000,000,000 in fossil fuel subsidies is buying us.

The super-rich are dining out on the planet-emitting more carbon in just 90 minutes than the average person does in a lifetime. The rest of us are paying the price.

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 🫨🧵

Hmm that's weird, I'm sure every BP advert I've seen lately said they were transitioning to clean energies🤔
In fact, they told us they were going Beyond Petroleum... in 2000
Could it be that they are lying scumbags, intent on drilling every drop while treating us like fools?

There’s no time to dither with ineffective carbon capture technology giving polluters & big industry a free ride . We need to do more to take the fight to those intent on trashing our planet– great to be joining the Climate Emergency Fund to do just that . theguardian.com/tv-and-radio…

How do we know humans are responsible for #climatechange?
#IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report shows that the dominant role of humans in driving recent climate change is clear. This is based on a synthesis of information from multiple lines of evidence.

A habitable planet is more important than the profits of a few fossil fuel companies.
Pass it on.
