yesterday, we were sitting watching the snow fall & @tgracchus1848 was trying to impress upon me the seriousness of the IPCC report when we witnessed a terrible car accident & saw a pedestrian get pinned between two cars.
this particularly horrible incident neatly encapsulates how i always feel about climate change — scared & uncomfortable, but distracted by more immediate physical violence.
anyway, i just spent an hour digging my car out of the snow so i could drive to court to hear the survivors of a white supremacist terror attack tell that nazi what he’s done to them.

daniel borden will be sentenced tomorrow after pleading guilty in may 2018 for his role in the brutal beating of deandre harris on august 12, 2017.
he entered an alford plea for felony malicious wounding - briefly, this means he maintains innocence while admitting he knows the state has sufficient evidence to convict him (because he's, you know, on video committing the crime)

two other men have already been tried, convicted, and sentenced for their participation in this beating. alex ramos & jacob goodwin were convicted in 2018 and will serve 6 & 10 years, respectively.
tyler davis goes to trial next month.

1. I woke up Monday morning rattled by the conclusions of the new #IPCC report and the news coverage it has generated. Scheduled today to give a today @APPCPenn today , I quickly redrafted my talk. Full text & graphs here: #scicomm #envcomm #polcomm medium.com/@matthewcnisbe…
2. I argue that the IPCC report should be a wake up call for those of us who study climate change politics and communication, and for advocates and philanthropists who have relied on our advice.
3. Like many climate advocates, our research has been motived by a desire to jump start a greater sense of public urgency about climate change, believing that voter pressure was the key to major Federal policy action.

1/ What role for natural gas in a 1.5⁰C world?

Some reflections from the new #IPCC #SR15 report:

(thread)
2/ A reminder: natural gas currently accounts for 20% of global energy emissions and is the world’s fastest growing fossil fuel. In the IEA’s current policies scenario, gas demand could increase by ~50% by 2040.

How far is this from a 1.5⁰C pathway?
3/ With coal, the IPCC message is simple: stop burning it. The IPCC pathways show a reduction in coal in primary energy use of 59-78% by 2030, compared to 2010. By 2050 it falls 73-97%.

#IPCC report says limiting warming to 1.5 degrees will require an industrial transition unprecedented in scale - but that it’s possible, if the political will is there - and that the wider opportunities and benefits are huge

So here are a few ideas for our own Government ... 1/6
Advice to Government:

Save money and carbon by stopping actively damaging projects like fracking, airport expansion, HS2, new nuclear, road expansion - and spend it on creating hundreds of thousands of jobs through a rapid expansion of renewables #IPCC 2/6
More advice to Government:

Save even more money and carbon, and create even more jobs by ending subsidies for fossil fuels and taxing them for the damage they cause. Spend that on reducing energy bills through huge nationwide insulation programme.

#IPCC 3/6

1 (thread). Most UK papers think a drunken snog at Strictly is the most important story today. More important than a terrifying new #IPCC report saying we have 12 years to stave off the catastrophic effects of global warming...
2. More important than this (from @guardian. The Independent and @washingtonpost also led on it, along with the @BBC. London Times leading on Brexit.)
3. Broadsheet editors have always been lectured on how patronising they are to believe “they know best”. So worthy to tell people what they *should* be interested in.

Thread: How did we get here?
In 2015, I shook President Obama’s hand, thanked him for DACA, and asked him to reverse course & close the for-profit baby jails (also known as “family detention centers”) he opened in Dilley & Karnes City, Texas. What he said shook me to my core 1/
2/ Specifically, I told him, “It’s wrong. And it’s going to be a stain on your legacy.” He stopped moving on to the next person in the rope line and looked back at me. I’d gotten his attention. He turned back, looked at me and “Are you an immigration lawyer?” “Yes”
3/ Just days before, President Obama’s senior immigration policy advisor @cecmunoz had received a chilly welcome during her keynote address to the @AILANational annual conference attendees in National Harbor. She was greeted with silent protest & signs saying #EndFamilyDetention
