"I would want to see emissions going down for several years before I would stand up on a building top and shout that emissions have peaked"

Please take note of my wise words...

Maybe it's just me, but I find the positive tone of posts like this infuriating. It isn't "good" news.

To limit warming to 2 (not 1.5) degrees, emissions must fall by ~8% p.a., every year, from NOW.

Fossil fuel use GROWING for ~5 more years would be an unmitigated disaster.
NEW: Global fossil fuel use will peak before 2030 – unless 'stated policies' are abandoned

Contra some terrible news coverage, IEA World Energy Outlook shows coal near peak, oil peaking by 2030 & gas by 2035 (see chart)

What's going on? 🧵 + cool charts

The Swedish King stepping in it today in Brazil by suggesting that the multilateral climate change process is likely to fail and that Europe does not have any responsibility to pay for climate change impacts on the Global South. He is wrong and should be prevented from making such statements.

Fateh, like Mamdani, is running a progressive campaign including raising the minimum wage to $20, rent stabilization and standing up to Trump.

6 of 13 council members have backed him, as have unions and state lawmakers.
