Hey! You forgot about the #IPCC report!

Don't worry - I'm going to do another thread here, this time with highlights from the 'longer report', which is longer than the summary of the synthesis, but shorter than the as-yet unreleased full synthesis (which are all summaries)

🫡
The past is here, it's just not evenly (temporally and spatially)

Hello to North America and Europe, responsible for 39% of historical CO2 emissions

(some weird country groupings here....but that's because countries are weird concepts)
The most vulnerable countries also tend to have the lowest emissions per person

It feels old hat now but it's still an important point.
Not exactly a tick of approval for SRM. Didn't they hear about how 'punk rock' it is Solar Radiation Modification (SRM) approaches, if they were
To limit warming to 1.5 or 2C, we need to only emit a tiny fraction of what has already been emitted so far.

Existing and planned fossil fuel infrastructure tip us past that, easily.

Hence: WE CAN'T BUILD ANY NEW FOSSIL FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE.

#IPCC
Power really needs to come first, in the sequence of sectors that reach near-zero emissions up to 2050, for carbon dioxide emissions.

What gives me real climate anxiety:

Not that we're doomed to fail, but that the options for success are far more accessible, just and beneficial than we realise

And that we'll let it slip past anyway because it's easy for incumbents to spread lies and protecting profits.
We began this journey being told by Very Serious and Very Smart economists that this is a "wicked problem" and that it makes more sense to go slow on action and rely on distant tech solutions. This was the first big lie, and we're living the damage done by these people right now.  A person shelters from the sun at a Phoenix bus stop. City is in grips of record run of days with temperatures of 110F or higher. Climate crisis Extreme weather live: Phoenix breaks record with 19th day of 110F highs in a row; Europe swelters under heatwave 7m ago Arizona's Extended Extreme Heat Wave On Track to Break Its Record For Longest Stretch Of Days Over 110 Degrees<br>PHOENIX, ARIZONA - JULY 14: People seeking shelter from the heat rest at the First Congregational United Church of Christ cooling center on July 14, 2023 in Phoenix, Arizona.

Yet the times where we've ignored these people and ran hard with heavy government intervention, we've had huge success. Wind and solar, for instance, were in reality far more effective, cheaper and simpler than previously thought. Image

I am vibrating with rage at this story. Australian gas company @JemenaLtd is **PAYING PEOPLE** to buy new fossil fuel appliances instead of electric ones.

What a psychotic scheme. And what a stunning illustration of how shallow and cynical they are.

@JemenaLtd oh my god
@JemenaLtd Always a good sign when you need to preface 2% with an "up to"

So somewhere between 0% and 2% then....

A quick one for you all - I plugged the new Aus emissions data in my tracking spreadsheet. Historical land-use data has undergone what I think is the biggest revision for some time (if not ever) - makes recent emissions look much lower

This is bad. The data are unreliable Image
The bundle on the left: total emissions including land-use , with the darkening colours being each new version of the report

On the right - the same, excluding land-use

You can see how land-use changes the narrative so significantly, and the revisions to the data intensify that Image
These revisions to historical emissions data are **massive**. In terms of scale, it's a reduction in historical emissions data **bigger** than the drop in total transport emissions during the pandemic lockdowns, in 2020 - just from the last version to the most recent. Image

The COP28 president has been editing Wikipedia to remove references to a 2019 multi-billion dollar oil pipeline deal

Definitely do not retweet these screenshots of details about the deal

"Australia is one of the least racist countries in the world"
It's sort of amusing that he's having a go at journalists here, when this is exactly the thinking of Quillette-brained centre-right smugness that Australia's white media loves more than any other group

If anyone interested in some actual data rather than feels on this

One of the most consistent trends in Australian media, whenever the issues of diversity, systemic racism and racist media reporting bubble to the surface, is just a stunningly powerful inability to admit there's a problem.

They been warned, many times, for a long time.
I have never encountered a group of people less capable of introspection, and of constructive peer criticism.

**and I work almost solely with the fossil fuel industry**
Many people have been doing this, but here are a few times I've tried to raise the issue of racism in Australian media - and failed entirely.
