New article just dropped! 🙃

I'm only 5-15 years late to the party depending on how you count it, so go read about Bjorn Lomborg and @ISDglobal's Deny, Deceive, Delay report!

I know people who are persuaded by him, so I'm sure he's still relevant enough.

[Citizens' Climate Lobby UK @CitznsClimateUK]

Great to see your 10 point plan @OVOEnergy - addressing the climate and cost of living crises with system thinking in a progressive way supporting those who need it most. We particularly love. .. https://t.co/Yts7vEgJA7

[Zero Hour @ThisIsZeroHour]

Pakistan is currently facing one of the most devastating climate disasters in history. An estimated 1/3 of the nation is underwater and 33 million people have been effected - millions of homes destroyed and over 1,000 people were killed.

[Simon Evans @DrSimEvans]

UPDATE

UK gas power now costs a staggering NINE TIMES more than new renewables

The average wholesale price for electricity over the past 7 days – set by gas power – was £446/MWh

In July, the govt secured 11GW for an avg £48/MWh

🌱featuring a quick introduction to Carbon taxes and emissions trading schemes.

Stay tuned for part 2 at… some point, on CF&D in practice!

(And thanks to @CitznsClimateUK for being awesome)

[Climate Soup @TheClimateSoup]

I (finally) read the executive summary for this great report.

If you have any interest in mis- and disinformation or how climate delayism spreads, I can definitely recommend this report.

Also really enjoyed @WeAreDrilled’s podcast on the report.

[Institute for Strategic Dialogue @ISDglobal]

Today at #BonnClimateConference, we release our landmark report analysing climate mis- and disinformation at #COP26 and beyond, and the repercussions denial and delayism are having on climate action around the world. https://t.co/zPXWqzKLxc

[Zero Hour @zero-hour.bsky.social @zerohour_uk]

Calling all #climate and #nature #youth groups!

We'll be meeting with MPs and Peers ahead of the Climate & Ecology Bill's 2nd reading next week — we'd like you to add your support to our open letter asking them to back the Bill: https://t.co/bFIqIDfmsi

DM us to add your name!

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

The European Parliament just voted to label fossil gas as “green” energy. This will delay a desperately needed real sustainable transition and deepen our dependency on Russian fuels. The hypocrisy is striking, but unfortunately not surprising.
This is still #NotMyTaxonomy

New edition of Climate Soup earlier today summarising this term's news: https://t.co/MZN9fiQPSW

- IPCC WG3
- WinACC Report
- Big Oil Reality Check
- School Survey
- Podcast Reviews

[Climate Soup @TheClimateSoup]

@Davidxvx @PriceofOil Thanks! Sorry to do this again but on pg. 6 it says "... base oil price scenario of USD 50/bbl (real $2022, as of March 2022)." Presumably, the $2022 isn't the real price per barrel?

[Climate Soup @TheClimateSoup]

@PriceofOil's #BigOilRealityCheck has been updated and i just had to look into it! I won't spoil the key takeaways here, but it is damning.

In the lightning round: @ExtinctionR Activists come to Wincoll and a brief mention of Caroline Dennett's resignation.

[Climate Soup @TheClimateSoup]

New edition of Climate Soup!

This edition:
🌱 #WorldEnvironmentDay and what @WinColl did about it.
🛢️ A quick summary the Big Oil Reality Check.
🙃 I get kinda existential but only for a little bit.
⚡️ And a brief lightning round.

🧵

[Climate Soup @TheClimateSoup]

- 1st and 5th year felt most able to make change.

There was also an optional written question which had responses like "nothing. let's be part of the problem" but most of them were more serious; promise!

I briefly outline what Wincoll is currently doing for sustainability.
🧵

[Zero Hour @ThisIsZeroHour]

This morning @POTUS announced he will invoke the Defense Production Act in response to the recent energy crisis spurred by fossil fuels and the invasion of Ukraine. 🔥

The DPA will increase domestic production of renewable energy including solar panels & manufacturing capacity.

[UK Youth Climate Coalition @ukycc]

No more blah, blah, blah! #LossAndDamage finance now!

UKYCC joining an action demanding that Loss and Damage be added to the agenda at #BonnClimateConference ✊
