Something inherently weak about reporting & accountability mechanisms under Paris Agreement (i.e. NDCs) that allow countries like Australia & Norway to draft ambitious-sounding plans like ~70% emission reductions without stating cuts to production & exports that comprise a majority of emissions

Que représente réellement le « modèle républicain à la française » qui sous-tend certains discours sur l’identité nationale et la laïcité ?

A million civilians are fleeing for their lives from the violent devastating Israeli invasion of Gaza.

Not a peep from our leaders, not even ‘urgings from afar’.

Gov’t can’t have it both ways: Either it supports people or it supports oil companies. Those are mutually exclusive categories.

A neat demonstration of:

- Blatantly motivated forecast
- Decision to act as if unavoidable
- Consequent realisation of the forecast

pattern that has been operational in the fossil fuel world for ages. The prophecy is there to fulfil itself, not to inform or explore possibilities
