I can assure you I have never laughed this hard in my entire fucking life
I never knew it was possible to pack this many classic comedy scenes in 1:27 of film
Lordy, every frame is a stand-alone Rembrandt. I don't care if you are 100% convinced that Earth will incinerate itself by SUV by next Friday, that is some funny shit right there

Climate change thread. @TedNordhaus — whose uncle won a Nobel Prize for his work on carbon pricing — writes in @ForeignPolicy that carbon taxes are just too hard. Specifically, taxes are salient for energy users. foreignpolicy.com/2019/07/20/cli…
2. Energy users might willingly pay more for greater efficiency in energy use or new, low-carbon energy sources, but only if the cost they must pay is concealed. What @TedNordhaus calls “quiet” or incremental policy measures are, in his view, the only way forward.
Washington Governor @JayInslee, now running for President on addressing climate change as the nation’s top priority, understandably disagrees.

Here's a brief summary of some of the our Australian #climate extremes research since 2013, a year that has nothing to do with any particular events, government or ideology
Australia's then record hot 2012/2013 summer was made substantially more likely because of climate change agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
Night time temperature increasing faster than day time temperature, a key fingerprint of climate change, though this feature is not well modelled agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

In April, Alberta, Canada, will elect a new provincial government. Many may be unaware that the current @rachelnotley govt has adopted a globally significant #climate plan. Here is what's in it, what it has done, and what is at stake next month. A THREAD #abvote 1/24
First, where did Alberta’s Climate Leadership Plan plan come from? (George Soros, perhaps? Foreign-funded radicals?) No. It came from Albertans. A volunteer panel led by @andrew_leach spoke w 1K residents in-person and heard from 25K+ online. 2/24
The panel also engaged with 350+ stakeholders and met w Aboriginal Peoples in three cities, and received hundreds of detailed submissions from NGOs, industry groups and others. 3/24

THREAD| Draft of the #Climate Change Act, presented by (@bmu) this week: The proposal is a framework law, featuring elements from international acts, e.g. from UK (@theCCCuk). In contrast to the German Climate Action Plan 2050, it will be legally binding. #Klimaschutzgesetz
2| The framework law includes emission reduction targets, defines CO2 budgets for each sector, and clarifies responsibilities, as well as review, transparency & sanctioning mechanisms. Implementation measures for each sector will be detailled in 2030 programmes, due in Mar 2019.
3| Progress will be supported by an independent advisory group of 7 experts. Focus is on reaching the 2030 CO2 reduction targets, but the draft works towards at least 95% reduction by 2050. The remaining 5% to reach #netzero could be reached through compensation policies.

Just returned from Bangkok, where nations made little progress towards finalising the Paris agreement on climate change that aims to limit global temperature rises over the next 80 years.

It was my first @UN #climate change rodeo and there were a few things I wasn't aware of
Under Paris, countries agreed to a fairly detailed set of promises to keep global temperature rises under 2C by 2100.

It was the first time all nations - both developed and developing economies - signed up to the same set of climate rules. But they weren't binding
Parties gave themselves in effect 3 years to come up with a text agreed by everyone, ratified, and translated into national law on a state-by-state basis. The idea is the accord isn't legally binding, but the rulebook it provides could be on a national level

Good questions @RedsforNamesake. If confronting #climate change is your priority, it is imperative to ramp up carbon-free energy asap.

1. NJ will now ramp up renewable energy from 13% in 2017 and 20% by 2020 under old RPS to 35% by 2025 & 50% by 2030. Impressive leadership.
2. To ensure that this new clean energy replaces fossil fuels and contributes to #climate mitigation goals, NJ's new laws also make payments to ensure the continued operation of 3 South Jersey nuclear reactors that currently supply 31% of the state's electricity consumption.
2. Cont.: That measure is essential and ensures that nearly all of the new clean energy growth over the next 12 years builds on top of the fossil-free foundation provided by the state's existing nuclear plants.
