The OECD National Contact Point of Ireland decided that our complaint against @ESBGroup
raises a credible issue and should progress. @ESBGroup, Ireland’s state-owned energy company, has bought millions of tonnes of coal to fuel its Moneypoint power station from @CerrejonCol.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Investors are still backing fossil fuels, and governments still hand out billions in subsidies for coal, oil and gas - some $11 million every minute.

For the health of our societies and planet, we need to quit our addiction to fossil fuels.

Now.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

New funding for fossil fuel exploration and production infrastructure is delusional.

Fossil fuels are not the answer.

Renewable energy is.

The EA is failing to uphold the laws that protect nature. A simple solution costing the treasury nothing: give local river groups the power to prosecute for their river & if successful recover costs from the offender, with fines going to restore the river https://t.co/waDHBPoKy5

So you want to know what's going on with climate change, but AR6 WGII is a whopping 3,675 pages. How do you read an #ipcc report? Five easy steps:

[Leo Hickman @LeoHickman]

The final sentence of new IPCC report:

"The scientific evidence is unequivocal: climate change is a threat to human well-being and the health of the planet.
Any further delay in concerted global action will miss a brief and rapidly closing window to secure a liveable future."
