Ahoy⚓️ The time’s come to hoist anchor & set sail for bluer skies. I’ll leave my old ship docked here to keep an eye on the stormy seas but won't be engaging with sea monsters lurking below. Catch me where the horizon’s bright & the winds are fair https://t.co/3xTk7rTVDr⛵️✨

[ReCommon @Recommon]

🔴 Eni has pressed charges against @atricarico72 of ReCommon for defamation in relation to statements he made during the RAI programme @reportrai3 on air last 5th of May.

The accusation against Tricarico appears to be yet another attempt to silence an uncomfortable voice, which also follows the recent lawsuit that Eni has filed against ReCommon and @Greenpeace_ITA.

During the tv programme, Tricarico had highlighted the overlap in the timing of Eni's awarding of the licence to develop the Zohr gas field in 🇪🇬 and the dramatic Regeni affair.

A fact-based assertion, which was widely supported again in RAI programme Report on 17th of November, in which confidential Eni documents reiterated Tricarico's assertion.

Yesterday at #COP29 speculative, expensive and unreliable carbon removal technologies have been given a boost in what has been portrayed as a Day 1 ‘win’.

This is far from a win for people or the planet 🧵🔽

[Center for International Environmental Law @ciel_tweets]

#COP29 starts on the wrong foot as States just let decisions that will weaken effective climate action pass without a word.
The now-approved rules on carbon markets will:
👉Set a bad precedent for the negotiations, &
👉Open the door to activities that harm people & the planet.

At @COP29_AZ @UNFCCC the CMA must reject the #Article6o4 Supervisory Body's attempt to move forward with risky agreements on carbon markets without prior Parties discussion & negotiation

[Erika Lennon (@erikalennon.bsky.social) @eribears]

🚨Day One at #COP29 and it seems that Parties are set to ram carbon market standards through without any discussion or oversight. https://t.co/IzYFc1UUUf

[Center for International Environmental Law @ciel_tweets]

#COP29 begins tomorrow in Baku 🇦🇿 & we are already seeing an attempt to weaken effective climate action.

The #Article6o4 Supervisory Body adopted dangerous standards on methodologies & removal activities – now they might be rubber-stamped without any oversight by States .

Trump is gonna use US LNG as a geopolitical bargaining chip 🇺🇸 🚢

🇪🇺 Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, said they floated the idea of replacing Russian LNG with US LNG
📈 The US is the world’s top LNG exporter, and production will double by 2030

The @theAGU's Ethical Framework Principles for Climate Intervention Research, released "as a guide to inclusive & responsible decisionmaking about geoengineering,” represents yet another risky & ineffective attempt at voluntary self-governance.

#AOLetsGO: The climate crisis needs urgent action, and your voice matters!

It's high time to hold States accountable for their climate (in)action.

Where can I find a tardigrade (water bear)? If this is the only thing that can resist microplastics, we need more of them to beat #PlasticPollution #BreakFreeFromPlastic

What do these things have in common: placenta, blood, rain, wind, beer, salt, testicles (human & dog), breast milk, poop, honeybees, Arctic ice, Swiss mountains, the breath of a dolphin…?

Microplastics. They are everywhere... 🤯
