The #Ukraine war has shifted international political attention from the Glasgow #COP26 voluntary pledges to the Russian invasion.
Among the Glasgow pledges in detail, I see the most serious shortcomings in the pledge to phase out global funding for coal and other fossil fuels, the so-called #carbonbomb as The Guardian has currently called it, but also in the trend of continued and accelerated #deforestation
IEA's Global Methane Tracker reports higher emissions, but that may have to do with better tracking - which would be a success of Glasgow's #MethanePledge.
Full room to discuss how the Israel Apartheid regime is intertwined with the climate crisis at the People’s Summit #cop26

On @COP26 rest day time to reflect on where we are with the science. First up, #methanepledge. @BBCMoreOrLess fact check needed: Would it save up 0.2C of warming, has methane caused half of global warming to date, is it 84x worse than CO2? bbc.co.uk/news/world-591…
1. Half of global warming? Half right. It's (0.5C) roughly half of NET warming, but misleading as really its 1/3 of GHG warming, and the total GHG warming contribution is countered by aerosol cooling. @IPCC_CH AR6 Fig SPM2
Methane emission causes ozone pollution, so the 0.5C, is not all due to methane change, but 0.35C is. Emissions also increase ozone and CO2, adding an extra 0.15C. Figure 6.12 AR6 @SophieSzopa, Vaishali Naik, @chrisroadmap
