My Mastodon thread:
1) The only tricky decision I had with Mastodon was deciding which instance (basically, server) to sign up for. It's like the domain name in your email address; you can still follow/be followed by people anywhere.

[Mastodon (@[email protected]) @joinmastodon]

Mastodon has just passed over 2 million active monthly users, a new record! People are voting with their feet. The future of social media doesn't have to belong to a billionaire, it can be in the hands of its users.

At the close of #COP27 in Egypt, Mary Robinson remarks on the outcome:

“In a year of multiple crises and climate shocks, the historic outcome on loss and damage at COP27 shows international cooperation is possible, even in these testing times.”

Indonesia’s Just Energy Transition Partnership announced at #COP27 is great news for Indonesia’s coal-free future, and a sign that world leaders are starting to value holistic just transition plans. Read more in @TheEconomist ft. EDF's @MandyRambharos https://t.co/4tXQOBKMq6

We asked climate activists about the power of storytelling for #climateaction, and its ability to empower diverse voices to be heard.

Inspiring words from @topnigel receive a standing ovation in his last speech as High-level Climate Champion for @COP26.

No one has done more to unleash the catalytic power of cities, business, regions, investors, etc in the UN climate talks and far beyond.

👏 👏 👏 👏

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I have returned to #COP27 to appeal to all negotiating to deliver the ambitious & meaningful #ClimateAction we so desperately need.

This is no time for finger pointing.
The blame game is a recipe for mutually assured destruction.

But #COP27 can make a difference here & now.

Rapid phase-out of #coal is key to curbing #climate change.

Coal is the single largest source of #CO2 #emissions in #energy and the single largest source of #electricity production in the world.

New “elements” of a decision released by #COP27 team around 0630.

It has ballooned from 2 to 20 pages. That’s a strategic choice by those drafting. Hard 2-3 days beckons…

Some hot-takes below…

#COP27 update

At 7.30pm y'day Egyptian pres said draft cover text wld be "shared tonight" & a 20pp text emerged (link)…

It mentions 1.5C and "encourages" phasedown of unabated coal (vs "calls on" last year)

It doesn't mention *all fossil fuels*

What’s a party without a cake? 🎂 It was great to celebrate yesterday at #COP27 with @PastCoal members and partners. We’ve made excellent progress over a half decade, but we’ve got more to do. Let’s get #poweringpastcoal! #coaltoclean

Found this pic from @PastCoal launch at #COP23, @ClaireClimate! Proud to have worked together to help get momentum on moving the world past coal. Hard to believe launch was 5 years ago! And to all the women & girls out there, never underestimate your power! 💪 #COP27
