Det bliver spændende at følge den generation, der først fik tyret folkeskolereformen lige i face, så blev spærret inde i nogle af deres bedste år under corona - og som nu kan se frem til halverede kandidatuddannelser.
Hvis de ikke bliver nogle kyniske sataner, så fortjener de en medalje.

A global transition WILL NOT HAPPEN at current levels of finance.

This week's summit in Paris is a critical moment to change course for people, nature and climate.

6 major shifts are needed in the financial system.

Let's visualize how to turn billions into trillions🧵

The oil & gas industry had a record cash windfall in 2022 due to high fuel prices

But most of this has gone to dividends, share buybacks & debt repayment, rather than into energy investments. Only a small fraction has been spent on clean technologies 👉 https://t.co/UxxNdTHcot

London has a population of 9 million on 600 square miles, winters get below freezing, & 110 days of rain per year

Los Angeles has a population of 4 million on 500 square miles, winters get down to 50F, & 36 days of rain per year

40% of Londoners ride bikes, 3% of Angelenos

🌏 Steel is everywhere we look – and so are coal and methane.

IMEO is collecting emissions data to better understand #MethaneEmissions from coal mining. ⚫️⛏️ This will lead to more efficient mitigation action by companies and countries to #CutMethane.▶️👇

A complete shutdown of cold water ocean upwelling off the coast of Peru is the sign of a strong impending El Niño... It was along this coast that the phrase was first coined by colonial Spanish fishermen. This is a huge anomaly.

Critical minerals like copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt & rare earths are essentials components in many of today’s clean energy technologies

Ensuring reliable supplies of these minerals will be vital to supporting efforts to reach climate & energy goals → https://t.co/Qw9PLZm4Ui

“I think they are trying to avoid having a full-blown commitment to the kind of reduction in fossil fuel production and consumption that we need to see . . . That’s going to lead to a real clash in Dubai.”

[International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) @MethaneData]

🌍 Methane is emitted all over the world. If we are to #CutMethane globally, the same must apply to its measurement.

@UNEP's IMEO is leading a first-of-its-kind study to determine how much methane is leaking at the coast of Angola and Gabon.

The number of electric car models is rising around the globe, with 5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ different models now available.

This is more than double the options seen in 2018, and has been driven by a strong expansion in offerings for SUVs & other large cars.
