Governments spent USD 1 TRILLION subsidising fossil fuels last year - when oil, gas and many other fossil companies made record windfall profits

Imagine where we could be if that was spent on deep retrofitting their buildings.

“I must say, in my professional life as a climate scientist, this is a low point. The window for 1.5C is shutting as I speak, so it’s really tough.” Important interview with @dpcarrington yesterday. We need to act now.

"Magyarország jelenleg a legrosszabb fenntarthatósági pályán van a természeti erőforrások felhasználása terén, az EU egyedüli országa, ahol 2010–2018 között romlott a természetierőforrás-termelékenység" #klimabajnok https://t.co/XszIXY1m5O

For people climate change is nr 1 concern around the world, while politicians attention are way too divided between issues like Ukraine, energy prices and Covid - https://t.co/lqbDEMIsp9

216 million people could become climate migrants by 2050 -- but the scale of future climate migration depends on the world’s collective actions today. Blog by @WorldBank VP Juergen Voegele. https://t.co/v3QUpGuy98

Extreme weather events such as heatwaves and floods have cost Europe almost 510 billion euros and around 142,000 lives over the past 40 years. https://t.co/5tsg0GSKqp

❗️A new record for carbon prices in Europe’s #EUETS cap-and-trade program: 78.43 euros per metric ton. That’s almost a 140% gain this year. Energy ministers are meeting tomorrow to discuss price hikes and this will certainly be a hot topic, at least for some countries.

🌱 EU carbon permits hit *€70* per tonne. New week, new record

BREAKING - Despite signing a zero deforestation pledge last week at #COP26 , Brazil sees highest deforestation on record for October, losing 877km2 of Amazonian forests. 11 months have seen record deforestation rates since Bolsonaro took office in 2019.

[Professor Mark Maslin 👋 𝕏 @ProfMarkMaslin]

#COP26 Draft Glasgow declaration - very depressing

1. All mentions of fossil fuels deleted
2. Temperature target below 2°C - little mention of 1.5°C
3. $100 billion promise will not be met
4. New NDCs for COP27 and annual NDCs not mentioned in text

Solar is now the “cheapest…electricity in history” according to the International Energy Agency’s World Energy Outlook -

and is 20-50% cheaper today than the IEA had estimated in last year’s outlook

Interesting elements in draft texts at #COP26. If the coal and fossil fuel phase-out language survive, that’ll be a first for a COP decision

[Diana Urge-Vorsatz @DianaUrge]

HALF of all anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere has been added since the @IPCC_CH was formed.

What if we had listened to science and IPCC at the start of the first warnings?

If we had not wasted 3 decades with insisting that the Earth was flat?
