⚠️💀While the #Amazon urgently needs to be considered as a #FossilFuel Free Zone, the Peruvian government 🇵🇪 is giving #oil a new boost by promoting internationally a series of reserves that are home to 435 #indigenous communities.

1/12 Here is our very useful series of cards, we handed out to people at @StanChart - everyone was very keen to collect all 12 . We're looking forward to hearing which one was the most useful #ClimateAction 
2/12 Could this be a regular excuse often heard inside @StanChart to delay climate action?
3/12 We have a feeling this card may have proved very useful inside @StanChart . Let us know 🤔

Kolumne: Es gibt vier Kategorien von Scheinargumenten, die echte Klimapolitik weiter verzögern sollen. Ein vielstimmiger Chor trägt sie derzeit mit verteilten Rollen vor: von »Bild« bis Sahra Wagenknecht. Woran das liegt? Ganz einfach: Fossiler Lobbyismus. spiegel.de/wissenschaft/m…
Das Schweizer Taschenmesser des Klimaverzögerungsdiskurses ist Jens “Brechstange” Spahn: Wasserstoff im Keller, CO₂-Speicherung, E-Fuels und Kernfusion - bei @jensspahn geht alles außer dem, was aktuell wirklich möglich, sinnvoll und sofort machbar ist. Und natürlich: “Nur 2%!”

Today and tomorrow, @G7 #Energy ministers meet in #Japan – a country, often considered a “laggard” on #energytransition. What is 🇯🇵’s energy system like and why is it so reluctant to step up #decarbonisation of its economy? A 🧵 1/19

env.go.jp/en/earth/g7/20…
The “usual” arguments by the 🇯🇵 government when confronted with lack of both action and ambition on #energytransition:
1. #Japan is resource-poor
2. Japan’s geography limits #renewables build-out
3. Technologies & Innovation will solve the transition
How true are they? 2/19

Japan is indeed poor in some resources, most notably #fossilfuels. Fossil fuel based, its energy system is 88% dependent on #oil, #LNG and #coal imports. It has one of the least self-sufficient energy systems, dependent on #oil & gas from #MiddleEast & #coal from #Australia. 3/19

Countries in the #tropics have been disproportionally impacted by #plasticpollution due to imports of #plasticwaste from developed countries, or because tropical Small Island Developing States have become overwhelmed by #singleuseplastics used widely in the tourism sector.
My #Resilience Community of Practice group started up again today—a year of engagements & community building determined collectively.
Two things I flagged as wanting to work through was the framing & language of resilience & FEAR.
Warning—loquacious climate ramble.

Framing & Language
A collective priority was addressing how to support people in shifting the language and framing of “resilience” away from individual targeting to addressing the systemic level #resilience and origins of harm and violence.
A collective priority was addressing how to support people in shifting the language and framing of “resilience” away from individual targeting to addressing the systemic level #resilience and origins of harm and violence.
As we know, “#resilience” framing is often weaponized & used to gaslight the toil of survival (specifically racialized & oppressed communities) amid systems designed / built to systematically undermine wellbeing, life & thriving.

The 1⃣ critical development is the first-ever public hearings at the @ECHR_CEDH on climate cases addressing the duty of states to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including a case brought by the @KlimaSeniorin against Switzerland.

❌100+ German businesses are key players for #GreenHydrogen and many of them have ties to the fossil fuel industry, jumping on the hydrogen bandwagon to lock in harmful infrastructure & production models.

2/13. The #AR6 Synthesis Report and it's Summary for Policymakers will condense all of the scientific evidence from the reports of the @IPCC_CH working group's and all special reports published between 2018 and 2022.
3/13. For example the @IPCC_CH #AR6 Working Group II report made the following key points on #LossAndDamage very clear:
1⃣Human-induced #ClimateChange has already caused #LossAndDamage to both nature and people;

Epic disconnect: Head of @NYUSternCSB sustainability forum saying we’re out of time to move business towards more ESG practices at the same she actively partners with climate criminal #fossilfuel funders like @GoldmanSachs @HSBC and plastics monster @PepsiCo. Why?
Very happen to learn @Chase and other large #fossilfuel banks will have to take buildings for which they hold mortgages into account under #LocalLaw97. Their energy-leaking investments will come back to bite them.
Hallelujah @dgelles for speaking truth @NYUSternCSB: #FossilFuel co’s are funding ESG backlash at the state level. So, quite odd that @nyu is partnering with climate criminals right and left to further their sustainability studies. Also all panel, don’t use Right lingo “woke.”

🔑Key findings
- Germany has many options for import
- No one-size-fits-all: Costs strongly depend on what and from where you import
- Costs for renewable alternatives and prices for fossil counterparts converged in last year

Why do geologists think that fossil fuels are the remains of fossilized organisms?
1) Geological evidence: Fossil fuels are found in sedimentary rocks that are typically formed from the accumulation of sediments at the bottom of oceans or lakes. 1/5
1) Geological evidence: Fossil fuels are found in sedimentary rocks that are typically formed from the accumulation of sediments at the bottom of oceans or lakes. 1/5
2) Chemical composition: Fossil fuels are primarily composed of hydrocarbons, which are molecules made up of hydrogen and carbon atoms. These molecules are similar in composition to the organic material found in living organisms, such as plants and animals. 2/5
3) Isotopic signatures: The carbon isotopic signature of fossil fuels is similar to that found in living organisms. This isotopic ratios is due to the fact that plants and animals preferentially use Carbon-12 during photosynthesis and respiration. 3/5

@GavinNewsom @AlexPadilla4CA @SenFeinstein @RepAnnaEshoo @JoshBeckerSV you all know that climate change is pushing electricity as the solution and an all electric future is a horror show with this electrical infrastructure.
The power company has given no public estimate of when power will be restored, and remind us that the neighboring cities have no power either. What the neighboring cities do have that EPA doesn’t is wealth, and access to credit.
