As COP30 (UN meeting on climate change) begins, 10 years into the Paris Agreement, US emissions are about as high as ever, due substantially to methane pollution from oil and gas systems. The US is the world's worst cumulative climate polluter, nearly 2x China, and is not participating in COP30.
New paper. I wish this wasn't the case, but most progress on reducing US greenhouse gas emissions is likely spurious. Why? EPA underestimates methane emissions from oil and gas. Relevant today as Repubs vote to gut IRA's methane monitoring/mitigation program. 🧵

The "abundance agenda" is an incredibly designed piece of centre-right climate delay
The entire project of climate action comes down to *not extracting and burning fossil fuels*. So if you frame "being against things" as inherently bad, you can pull thousands of ppl into a pro-fossil stance.

I maintain that race, racism and white nationalism are important things to bring up when we talk about the way fossil fuel fatalism has become an aesthetic in global north climate social media spaces
Stuff like this is commonplace in the self-described "doomer" (hate that word) communities. I see it all the time, but I am confident that it flies over the head of most of the whiter parts of the climate movement, who don't seem concerned about fascism and white nationalism.
