Carbon capture and “enhanced oil recovery” technologies are a lifeline to the oil and methane gas industries. CCS, EOR, credits for captured carbon in the future - all will enable more drilling & burning by fossil fuel companies today.

Proponents of neoliberalism claim that while it may worsen inequality, at least it reduces poverty. Is this true?
New research finds that stricter neoliberal structural adjustment over the past two decades is associated with increased inequality *and* poverty.

How to understand the weakening of climate policies from UK and Sweden the last days? Are we looking at (near time) risk aversion? Are they responding to public opinion? Economic theory? Regardless, I believe it forces us to rethink the dynamics of climate obstruction today and in the near future.

You really wouldn't be able to tell from this that Norway is on-track to miss its transport sector decarbonisation target.
Again: only using "new cars sold" as your measure of climate success creates a really bad mess

This will only lead to an even bigger rush to decarbonise in the future. Exacerbating the current concerns about a ‘just’ transition. The longer we leave it, the faster we have to decarbonise, the faster we have to decarbonise, the more likely environmental and social justice will be deprioritised.
Now even the car manufacturers are slamming UK PM Rishi Sunak’s plan to junk climate crisis measures. Ford UK says: “Our business needs three things from the UK government: ambition, commitment and consistency. A relaxation of 2030 would undermine all.”
