#COP29 değerlendirmemi sevgili Semra Cerit Mazlum, @umitsa.bsky.social, Özgür Gürbüz ve @kivancgorkem.bsky.social'in yorumlarıyla okuyabilirsiniz. Tablo karamsar ama iklim krizini görmezden gelmek gibi bir şansımız yok. Her ölçekte hızlı, etkili ve kapsayıcı çözümler üretmek zorundayız.

IPC press conf #COP29 “Coal phase out and just transition in Turkey”. Our key messages: Turkey is 13th top CO2 emitter.

The UK has struggled to commission ONE new nuclear power station in the last 7 years, and it will not come on line for at least another 5-7 years, and it will not even replace the retiring fleet. And some people are still trying to convince us that nuclear is solution to the climate crisis. Insane!

Two things we keep getting consistently wrong:

2️⃣ Massively underestimating future generation of solar PV
