The #BonnClimateConference failed once again to address the key drivers of the #ClimateCrisis [= #FossilFuels]. Delay is the new Denialism.
A 🧵on the #FalseSolutions increasingly being pushed in the @UNFCCC negotiations: #CCS #CDR & #geoengineering are dangerous distractions!

Science is crystal clear, the only way to meaningfully reduce emissions is a rapid, equitable, full & funded phase-out of ALL fossil fuels. In this essential #JustTransition, there's is NO space for dangerous distractions such as #CCS or #CarbonRemoval.

#CCS is NOT a climate solution @CA_Latest climateanalytics.org/publications/2…
#CCS may carry even more risk & uncertainty than drilling for oil or gas, according to @ieefa_institute

"Many are the damages affecting Sri Lanka communities, it is important to join hands in event like this to safeguard interest of #smallscalefisheries", Mr. Douglas Devananda, Ministry of Fisheries in Sri-Lanka said.

TODAY @IPCC_CH released its most comprehensive assessment of science of #ClimateChange, impacts & solutions.
This is not the first & won’t be the last wake-up call, but it’s a unique moment.
I was in Interlaken 🇨🇭 for the last 9 days.
Here’s a🧵with my take #ClimateReport👇

Before I start... Let's step back 👣
Here's a @ciel_tweets & @BoellStiftung analysis on the @IPCC_CH's Synthesis Report #ClimateReport
If you missed it, that's a great starting point to understand what #AR6SYR is and why it matters:

Negotiations of the Summary for Policymaker highlighted the clash between the indisputable #ClimateScience & mainstream economic models underpinning mitigation pathways, perpetuate a business-as-usual approach. Incredible work of CSOs put a spotlight on #FossilFuels.

🚨🆕 #COP27 presidency draft of political decisions:
This proposal appears to be more a cover up than a proposal for cover decisions!
🔥We live in a #FossilFuels crisis, yet draft text:
⚠️fails to call for a phase out of #FossilFuels
⚠️actually opens door for status quo

2/ ⚡️good language on need for clean & just transition to renewable energy and to scaling up solar - but reference to "all available clean & efficient energy technologies" aims at allowing continuation of some #FossilFuels disguised as climate solutions
3/ ⚠️despite many parties calling for reference to ALL #FossilFuels - incl. small Islands, India, many European States, current draft only focuses on coal power thus failing to call out need to phase out gas and oil despite science/IPCC highlighting the need for it
Hello everyone!
📢Have you done your vocal warm-ups this morning?
It seems that we really need to speak, sing and shout much more as Parties are not listening, or don’t want to…

#LossandDamage Finance - G77 and China are UNITED! They have presented a clear and concise path which follows in many ways the precedence of the #GCF and Adaptation Fund.
📛Very concerning at #COP26: many attempts to push #falsesolutions in decision texts to set in stone distractions away from need for real action / fossil fuels phase out ...
Parties must resist these attempts in final hours of COP

New ref. to scaling up CLEAN power generation: as intensive lobbying at EU level indicates, govs & biz have many ideas what this entails: nuclear, BECCS, gas...
this would be 1st ever ref to "clean" instead of "renewable" in a political UNFCCC decision (draft cover COP decision)

Weakening down of reference to phasing out of coal - suggesting that only "unabated" coal falls under scope of phase out = implicit support for CCS despite repeated failure (draft cover COP decision)...
The Swedish forestry industry @Skogsindustrin have this week published a new report by @pholmgren arguing that cutting down more trees is good for the climate.
This is counterintuitive, but is it true?

First cred to @JesperStarn @bloomberg who came up with the nice description "forest industry math" in describing the piece in the news - a good phrase to capture the ”creative accounting” going on. This has been shared with great enthusiasm. 2/26

The research on climate impact of forestry has improved tremendously in the last decade. Concepts such as ”carbon parity/payback time” now describe dynamics taking into account what happens to carbon in forests, products and substitution (e.g. displacing fossils).
