On the omission of fossil fuels in the final #COP30 text, @guilanpour.bsky.social said: "The issue we had is that the negotiations were split about 50/50. So you had roughly 80 or so countries that were in favor of having a roadmap on fossil fuels & 80 that were completely against it." n.pr/4iBJJ1c

Climate misinformation turning crisis into catastrophe – major report
False claims obstructing climate action, say researchers, amid calls for climate lies to be criminalised
Rampant climate misinformation is turning the crisis into a catastrophe, according to the authors of a new report.
It found climate action was being obstructed and delayed by false and misleading information stemming from fossil fuel companies, rightwing politicians and some nation states. The report, from the International Panel on the Information Environment (Ipie), systematically reviewed 300 studies. Continue reading...

Climate crisis on track to destroy capitalism, warns top insurer
Action urgently needed to save the conditions under which markets – and civilisation itself – can operate, says senior Allianz figure
The climate crisis is on track to destroy capitalism, a top insurer has warned, with the vast cost of extreme weather impacts leaving the financial sector unable to operate.
The world is fast approaching temperature levels where insurers will no longer be able to offer cover for many climate risks, said Günther Thallinger, on the board of Allianz SE, one of the world’s biggest insurance companies. He said that without insurance, which is already being pulled in some places, many other financial services become unviable, from mortgages to investments. Continue reading...

The UK is right to increase spending on defence.
But funding it though further cuts to overseas aid is lamentable. It will make the world — and therefore the UK — less safe.
