I know it is a minor thing, but it is so revealing. Number 10 wants three things to be highlighted in the brief for the new Department for Energy and Net Zero - none of them directly mention net zero or climate change.

Dead 54,431kg sperm whale 17m long washed ashore in Hawaii with stomach full of plastic waste

Plastic is 99% oil and it's now in our blood, our food chain, our water and the air we breathe. Its manufacturers pay 0 for its impact on health and environment

@BCI_realm @GandonAmy Thanks Cannon. Amy looking at the thread it looks like you have been recommended some excellent people. I’m happy to have a conversation if helpful - I work with the @forum_carbon to drive the hospitality sector to net zero.

@Joelscotthalkes Isn’t enteric fermentation the real problem here? Methane emissions from the cow are about 50% of its GHG footprint..?

It's Friday at #COP27

Why not learn how the Saudis would like you to go green? If you can't make it to the beach resort town of Sharm el Sheikh to find out, don't worry. We'll do it right here on Twitter.

PS: This is an actual Q&A at the Saudi Green Initiative.

Exxon, Chevron, Shell and Total made $50.5b in profits in the 3rd-quarter

They and other oil companies also benefitted from subsidies of $190b in 2021

This is the biggest, fastest transfer of wealth ever from society to the industry fueling #climatebreakdown

Extreme weather events around the world this year; showing the reality of the climate crisis everywhere.

The science is clear!

Nowhere is safe until everywhere is safe. Time for action is now!

Aside from in incoherency of the answer this is woeful and embarrassing. Reusable cups is such a tiny part of the problem it’s not even funny.

[Larry & Paul @larryandpaul]

“So, reusable cups then.”

Wonderful work from @rachelburden. Our country is buggered.

[James Murray @James_BG]

This clip is so revealing. You can become a Cabinet Minister and be very successful in British politics without thinking in an serious way about the biggest global and economic challenge we face. The blind spot is going to get us all killed.

“There is no sign of the mangroves that, after a decade of growth, should be close to maturity. An on-the-ground study published in 2020 found that fewer than 2 percent of them had survived. The other 98 percent had died or were washed away.” https://t.co/BfZJ8AHvQB

One region in Australia is being shielded from soaring electricity costs because the #wind and #solar farms that supply it are returning their windfall profits to consumers. https://t.co/ZRXkb5G9vZ

[Adam McGibbon 🌍 @AdamMcGibbon]

A quiet landmark in world history - for the first time, there are more jobs in clean energy than in fossil fuels.

Those jobs need to be state-backed, well-paid, unionised, deployed even faster - but this is an important moment.

US congressional hearing released 226 pages of e-mails and documents from Exxon, Chevron, Shell and BP - and deserves so much more airtime: they are full of gems showing how they're pretending they're in an energy transition while in fact they want to sell more & gas forever
