On a parlé, avec raison, des centaines de lobbyistes favorables aux énergies fossiles qui ont envahit la #COP30

Couldn’t agree more!
"I would want to see emissions going down for several years before I would stand up on a building top and shout that emissions have peaked"

Our new @climameter.bsky.social study shows that natural variability alone can’t explain these changes — human-caused warming is a key driver.

Net zero by 2050 to limit warming to 1.5°C. That may have been plausible 10 years ago, but the continued rise of emissions means that there is effectively no carbon budget left for 1.5. It is cumulative emissions that drives warming. 1/6 www.theguardian.com/environment/...
