Seems like there’s a missing piece of discussion of Iran and climate, that it would be really good for reducing their emissions if Iran was allowed to develop civilian nuclear power, as is supposed to be a guaranteed right under the NPT

Instead, US withdrew from the deal to achieve this in 2018

In fact UK population is on the low side globally of willingness to act – most nations have populations where a majority are prepared to put aside 1% of income to fight climate change

One of the charges against net zero is the ‘inconvenient truth’ that it’s expensive

Yet it is widely acknowledged that his proposed solution – CCS and nuclear – are more expensive than the renewables being deployed. Far from failing, they are growing. Fast

Some big progress on this last week at IMO!

A new global fuel standard mandates that ships have to use lower carbon intensity fuels over time or pay fees.

Its (finally) the start of FF phase out in this sector, which accounts for 5% of global oil demand

💰Four of the wealthiest shipping companies in developed countries paid just 3.1% in taxes – well below the global corporate tax average of 21.5%.

With shipping responsible for 1bn tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions a year, the stakes are high.
