Great to be at #AdaptNSW2023 at the front lines of community and nature adaptation to #climatechange. Good to meet @PennySharpemlc and congratulate her on NSW’s first legislated emission reduction targets including 70% by 2035. With Dr Kim Loo.

Umm.
Not good news, folks.

🚨Misleading & deceptive political ads are designed to slow switch to renewables putting local jobs at risk.

Dutton & Joyce don't care about whales, they support seismic testing for oil & gas!

Time for my Voter Protections in Political Ads Bill.

A video I made with my good friend professor Steve Hydrocarbon, about our misunderstood friends in the petrochemical industry.

MAJOR UPDATE: All planetary boundaries are assessed, and six are crossed.

For the first time ever, scientists have quantified all nine planetary boundaries. Six of them are already transgressed and we are increasing pressure on the others.

China’s progress towards its clean energy transition is world leading! Check out this summary.

[Kyle 🚄 @KyleTrainEmoji]

The progress China has made in renewable energy just THIS YEAR makes the entire rest of the world look like it's standing still.

I wrote in December that to call China the "world leader in renewable energy" was a colossal understatement.

That’s even more true today.

It finally happened, breaking 5 sigma, the same statistical threshold physicists used to prove the existence of the Higgs boson.

At 2,700,000 km² below the 1991-2020 mean, Antarctic sea ice extent was 5.14σ below the mean, roughly a 1-in-7,400,000 chance.

imagine the morning after the referendum…

we can wake up proud we’ve matured as a country, accepting of our history.

…alternatively we could wake up embarrassed that we succumbed to fear and ignorance, soiling ourselves in front of everyone.

Think financial institutions have robust models to assess the impacts of climate? Think again. Climate risk assessment is hard enough, but it’s garbage in garbage out when the Integrated Assessment Models used are as divorced from reality as many are https://t.co/RArXPTQMmY

Pocock asks about modelling of the "nature repair market". The dept says it's relying on $ from this market for conservation efforts but hasn't done any modelling itself. It's relying on PWC modelling!
(PWC is trying to get into this market itself. What a coincidence) #estimates

Thanks @illuminemNews for publishing my thoughts about the new Australian governments’ signature emissions policy known as the #SafeguardMechanism. TLDR: it’s not very safe. https://t.co/gdSM4IZEgb

Climate change conversations during live commentary of tonight’s @ManUtd vs @ReadingFC football match because of the ‘warming stripes’ sleeves design on the Reading kit.

Thank you @sammatterface & @itvfootball.

[I'm @Ketanjoshi.co on Bluesky @KetanJ0]

This is so wonderful. More of this!

Congratulations to our Director @DMacSyd for making this exclusive list!

[D McEwen @DMacSyd]

Well this is a nice surprise. Honoured to be on this list of thought leaders working in the #EnergyTransition https://t.co/WIxjF9p0OR

Great to present today to an audience of CitySwitch signatories @cityofsydney on measuring #Scope3 #GHG #emissions. Can’t manage what you don’t measure!

[Assaad Razzouk @AssaadRazzouk]

France just legislated that every parking lot for 80 cars or more must be covered by solar panels

That’s 11GW of new solar (same as 10 new nuclear reactors) powering millions of home - zero new land needed

Climate action is happening, just not at #COP27

Great to be at the #VERGE22 conference by @GreenBiz, joining over 4,000 delegates, hundreds of speakers and exhibitors to talk decarbonisation

What is a company’s largest source of greenhouse emissions? For most businesses, the answer lies in their value chains. Or rather, the tangled net that is their value mesh. Our latest post. #valuechain #climatechange #emissionsreduction https://t.co/RAFUk2G6Kq

Aside from the physical risk - both acute and chronic - there is the transition risk from climate change, the RBA says. That's being stuck in industries and technologies the sun should be setting on. The bank plots this difference for coal between current and net-zero policies.
