Fossil energy giant BP promised in 2020 to reduce its oil & gas production by 40% & expand its renewable energy 20 times by 2030. Today,BP announced instead it will cut its renewable energy investments & focus on fossils. Why's that? Here my thoughts:
1/10bbc.com/news/articles/… The most immediate reason is, of course, money. BP has been underperforming Exxon & Shell in terms of stock exchange value and its investors wanted its profitability aligned with the market.

This is mind-blowingly bad.Most up-to-date study on Atlantic Ocean currents system shows signals of collapse.This could happen in 2025-2095 with 95% probability. Land to grow wheat may drop by half. Winter temperatures in North Europe could drop between 10 and 30 °C. 1/🧵

After 6 months of fieldwork in Bougainville🇵🇬, I'm ready to embark on leg 1 of my #NoFly journey to Germany. Travelling by🚢,🚅,&🚌over 27,000km, I'll emit ~535kg of CO2, 10 times less than✈️. This decision cost me my job, but I still think it was the right thing to do. 1/🧵 Image My ex-employer @kielinstitute had given me 3 days to fly to Germany, as my fieldwork got delayed. I objected I could work effectively slow-travelling,as always done in the past & as always approved by @kielinstitute. See e.g. my 2019 travel 👇 2/

Ready to embark on reduced-carbon trip from Germany to Papua New Guinea for research.I'll travel 2/3 of the 22,500km distance by rail,coach,& ferry over~224hours,reducing CO2 emissions by 2,4tons of CO2. Return is planned #NoFly. #slowtravel #ClimateCrisis. 1/🧵 I plan to travel #NoFly in the return trip, catching ferries or cargo ships between PNG and Indonesia (where ferry operator @pelni162_ID travels regularly).
