The UK’s year of climate U-turns exposes a deeper failure https://t.co/uzUW1mqzNc via @ConversationUK @KevinClimate

[Dr Charlie Gardner (also on the blue place) @CharlieJGardner]

Carbon capture instead of stopping oil & gas

EVs instead of reducing car dependency

Ocean cleanups instead of stopping plastic production

Planting trees instead of ending deforestation

Ever notice how all the fashionable 'solutions' are all aimed at not changing anything?

And I'm happy to share our article on how to reform #FossilFuel fuel subsidy reform commitments, now out as blog post by @TESSForum

[Dr Steve Westlake @steviedubyu]

Super-happy to share the first paper from my PhD, published in ERSS🧵

We explore how UK politicians view their responsibility to lead by example with low-carbon behaviour (or not)

TLDR: some MPs lead by example on the quiet, but fear being "extreme"

Happy to finally share our new report "Limits to Plastic Growth: Towards a global cap on primary plastics production". https://t.co/by1lEEay7q

#Shell quietly backs away from pledge to increase ‘advanced recycling’ ♻️ of #plastics https://t.co/5C32oeQMHP

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Only 17% of the #GlobalGoals targets are on track.

In a world of unprecedented wealth, knowledge and technologies, the denial of basic needs for so many is outrageous & inexcusable.

We must not let up on our promise to end poverty & protect the planet.

Given the central role of the petrochemical industry in driving future demand for fossil fuels that will surpass the goals of the Paris agreement, this critical work by @JPTilsted & Fredric Bauer sheds key light on how the sector is organized @sus_pol

[Sam Stephenson @SamStephenson_]

Excited to be presenting my work on societal risk cascades from climate impacts under low degrees of warming at #EGU2024 today.
I’ll be in Hall X4 this afternoon, please come say hi if you’re in town

Soon our colleague Jesse will defend his PhD thesis, 'Practicing urban climate governance' - a strong piece of research highlighting the institutional and bureaucratic work of climate planning. Can't wait! @JSchrage12 @UiBCET https://t.co/Xy4mjKx1Cd

[Guy Finkill @Guy__Climate]

@harry_b_smith I'll do it for £7.

New paper! 🚨"Technology to the Rescue?" We look at the range of different UK Net Zero scenarios, the need for greater emphasis on efficiency & sufficiency and the challenge of relying solely on new technology for decarbonisation

"Narratives that celebrate decoupling achievements in
high-income countries as green growth are thus misleading and represent a form of greenwashing."
Strong words by @JefimVogel and @jasonhickel in their recent article.

Wondering about the sudden interest & $$$ in Direct Air Capture? It's a lifeline for Fossil Fuel Industry!

While reducing energy demand and consumption is needed, it is also hugely challenging. In this piece I argue that cities, and most spec. civil servants, need to navigate 3 tensions to advance local climate action https://t.co/uSdiQPtcpC @UiBCET @UiBsamfunn #socialpractice

@MelJStride Tory Party recommending gig economy jobs for over 50s. Reminiscent of a future portrayed in a BBC dystopia: 'Years and Years.'
