#OLYMP24 tourists beware @AirFranceFR hand baggage shakedown. They weigh and take your checked bag at check-in counter. Then have 2 other people waiting to weigh your carry-on at the security/passport control. Now waiting @AirFranceFR office for 40 minutes to dispute/pay.
@AirFranceFR why are you suddenly weighing carry-on at CDG at the security entrance AFTER bag check-in at the AF desk? Now, some extra kilos in my hand baggage cannot go into my UNDERweight checked bag. REALLY? Before the Olympics? Not smart business. An #AirFrance shakedown.
As a VT Senator, I helped pass VT’s landmark climate law, the Global Warming Solutions Act, & invest $100 million in weatherization efforts for low-and moderate-income VTers.
In Congress, I’ll continue fighting to address climate change & make an economy that works for all.
Nos enorgullece compartir que nuestra cofundadora, y miembro del consejo directivo, Isabel Cavelier, recibió el prestigioso #ClimateBreakthroughAward 2022🔝
👏🏽 Desde Transforma, felicitamos a Isabel por este gran reconocimiento 🌏

@libby_brooks@guardian NGO organizations at #COP26Glasgow have increased 74% and 58% in participants over #COP25. Yet NGO observers have been limited to 9 seats --> 1 for each constituency - in many of the negotiation rooms. That’s 9 out of 11,734 NGO observers at COP26.
@libby_brooks@guardian Of that growth, the media saw a 232% increase in accredited organizations and a 75% increase in participants at #COP26Glasgow. Country party participants have increased 90% at #COP26Glasgow over #COP25, as the number of parties stayed constant.
@libby_brooks@guardian I appreciate your impression that the facts I used “shot down” the #COP26Glasgow presidency’s aim of hosting the “most inclusive COP ever.” But why don’t you include the facts I presented and let your smart readers draw their own conclusions?
@libby_brooks@guardian Glad you reported on the people’s plenary today @COP26. But please correct your story: I spoke on behalf of RINGO which, as I said multiple times, is NOT an advocacy constituency at the UNFCCC.
Big news in advance of #COP26. Peeling off methane is doable, akin to the #MontrealProtocol’s laser focus on refrigerants. Taking a page from the pre Paris playbook. More Than 30 Countries Join U.S. Pledge to Slash Methane Emissions https://t.co/qE5PJeX9IW
The Montreal Protocol may have helped to mitigate climate change by protecting plants from UV damage, thereby avoiding a reduction in carbon storage and an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, reports a modelling study published in Nature. https://t.co/UAacZl50oz
The make-or-break decade has already started.
Our first major climate milestone will be a 55% reduction of emissions by 2030.
And by 2050, we aim to make the EU climate neutral.
Today, we present concrete proposals to reach these goals: https://t.co/h20a4iwgap
