@IEA concludes there's three things oil & gas companies have to do by 2030 to be aligned with a global transition to net-zero by 2050: 1. Cut Scope 1&2 emissions 60% 2. Invest 50% of capex in clean energy sectors 3. NO investment in new oil & gas fields.

Here's what everyone needs to know* about climate change: 🌍 It's real 👥 It's human-caused ⚠️ It's serious 💡 With immediate action, it's solvable ⌛ Later is too late * social science shows these msgs increase acceptance of the issue, awareness of the risk and, most importantly, willingness to act.

One of the most head-spinning but largely unchallenged fossil industry lies in Australia is a monthly "warning" issued that there's a "gas shortage" which requires a million new gas fields to be opened up. More gas is burned *just to process gas exports* than is used domestically in manufacturing.

The top 10% of global income earners (the rich) produce half of greenhouse emissions. If you earn more than US$41,000 = NZ$68,000 then you are part of that 10%.

The Government of Denmark had just agreed to a tax on livestock emissions. €40 in 2030, rising to €100 in 2035. Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen says: "We will be the first country in the world with a CO2 tax on agriculture.” Looks like New Zealand is now distinctly behind in that race.

Next month, Oxford will publish my big climate book, THE LANGUAGE OF CLIMATE POLITICS.
The book dismantles the core propaganda of the fossil-fuel era, and it offers readers powerful new ways to talk about the #ClimateCrisis that will help create transformative change.

The costs of climate change impacts are not a future thing, they're hitting all of us today - insurance costs, food costs... ...and it's going to keep getting worse as long as we keep putting more greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. So yeah let's stop making it worse?

Our new government seems convinced that "net" emissions are the only thing that matters, and our "net" ETS delivers those so no problem. So this may well get worse before it gets better.

Here's the fix to avoid AI & snippets nonsense, even in Chrome, even with Google as the default engine:
(1) Set "g" as the shortcut to search www.google.com/search?q=%s&...
(2) with g + tab you get unadulterated web results straight from the search bar. Works every time.
