I assume most people know this, but seems important to point out basic truths at this moment in time. There is no energy emergency in the U.S. The U.S. is the world's top producer of oil and gas at the moment, and the top exporter of gas, and U.S. oil and gas producers are making record profits.

Red team-blue team climate review is coming back. Make no mistake, this is a political process to try to create doubt about climate science in order to slow down policy.

Climate action is falling terribly short
Time to bury the 1.5C goal?
Absolutely not - why the 1.5 goal must prevail
(even when global warming exceeds 1.5C)

The 1.5°C Target for Global Warming Must Prevail | by Joeri Rogelj - Project Syndicate
Joeri Rogelj argues that the threshold established by the Paris agreement remains crucial – even if it is breached.

My latest with Wolfgang Knorr (climate scientist) & Sir Robert Watson (previous chair of IPCC & IPBES) published today by @theconversationuk.bsky.social. Sort of an update of our 2021 “The concept of net zero is a dangerous trap”. theconversation.com/the-overshoo...
The overshoot myth: you can’t keep burning fossil fuels and expect scientists of the future to get us back to 1.5°C
The net zero approach of the Paris agreement has become detached from reality as it is increasingly relies on science fiction levels of speculative technology.

so, the ways in which this was controversial surprised me
there’s a whole lot of denial about the state of things in the investor space, because some people are very invested (sorry) in avoiding grief

Important thread if you work with actors that are prone to using our current inadequate trajectory to determine what is ‘feasible’, willingly or otherwise neglecting the massive intergenerational harm and carbon debt burden this commits us to.
Emissions continue to rise and so are calls for ‘admitting’ that the temperatures will cross 1.5°C and we should move on E.g. by @glenpeters.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10....
This is problematic. Scientifically and even more so ethically. Here is why:
