…by careful academics who tend to just end up frustrated that he and others still get away with it.

… so I went ahead and started woking on climate stuff (2005). Lomborg was my first deep encounter with climate deceit. Perhaps he even sowed the seeds of my last book ‘A Climate of Truth’. I learned through Lomborg how climate deceit still does its job even when it has been clearly unpicked…

So I spent about a week with his book and its 2000 references. I started finding simple mistakes in the science, then references that didn’t say what he claimed. Then discovered others had catalogued his clear cut errors literally by the hundred load - and he had not once corrected the record …

Yes. ‘Carbon neutral’ flawed concept as it is comes out of GWP100 analysis. It is a slight of hand to keep using it after switching to GWP* - which has to go way negative in climate scenarios achieved by net zero GWP100.

Maybe the issue is more the "no additional heating" stance than the use of GWP* per se? bsky.app/profile/arie...

Thanks to @sioldridge.bsky.social for arranging this filming and organising an ever-growing list of attendees.

Mike Berners-Lee making the point that since COP1 there is scant evidence of a change in the rate of global emissions growth. Claims the process has been 'corrupted' by cynical actors since day one.

Thanks to Duncan Oswald from Sage, our partners in Carbon Commons, and to Emma Kisby for chairing our panel.

I think there is considerable early adopter advantage here in an otherwise quite crowded field - but carbon accountants should do this primarily because it will mean they will be able to do their work with integrity.

We will soon find out what culture the industry chooses.

So now is a critical moment. If key players support what’s possible now, supply chain carbon accounting will rapidly become a greatly more valuable exercise for all and fundamentally fit for purpose. If not it will feel like a wilful decision to ignore problems and continue to put up with junk.

I sincerely hope the industry went through a gate today from which it is not prepared to go back, especially and specifically on the need for counting everything (system completeness) and greater transparency.
