My deep dive on @IEA #WEO24

🌄Solar up 4x by 2030, top ⚡️ source by 2033
🥇Clean energy +44% by 2030, top *energy* source by "mid-30s"
🛢️EVs displace 6mb/d by 2030 (⏫4mb/d last yr)
⛰️Fossil fuels peak by 2030
🌡️Warming 2.4C(🔽 2.6C 2021 ⏬ 3.5C 2015)

Without climate change, #HurricaneMilton would have made landfall as a Category 2 instead of a Category 3 storm.

Furthermore, #Milton's rainfall & wind were both more likely & intense due to climate change, according to our latest analysis.🧵

Today is the day the UK becomes the first G7 country to completely phase out coal power

Since opening "Jumbo", the world's first coal power plant in 1882, the UK's coal plants have burned through a whopping 4.6bn tonnes of coal, emitting 10.4GtCO2 – which is more than most countries have ever released

Here's the story of how that all came to an end:

I did a line-by-line fact check of the entire climate portion of the Trump-Musk interview. There was a LOT to do https://t.co/C7vcrbQdCj

@ELPinchbeck it really was very excellent news to read this :)

[Dr Ellie Chowns MP @EllieChowns]

Thank you to everyone who voted Green or supported our campaign in North Herefordshire 🙏

Together, we showed that change really is possible 💚

We'll work tirelessly to achieve real change in Parliament, and you can be part of it - join the party today😊 https://t.co/s0SZkXutQy

BIG right now: @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres calls on PR firms and media outlets to stop acting as "enablers" of fossil fuel greenwashing, and calls on countries to ban fossil fuel advertising. https://t.co/gvNZtooCzH

Where does the world stand on climate change?
🌍🌡️🔥

Every year over 50 scientists update the @IPCC_CH assessment with the latest data available.

Global warming caused by humans advances at 0.26°C per decade – the highest rate since records began!⚠️

Today is Day 3 of the @UNFCCC negotiations in Bonn, Germany.
This is SB60. That is, the 60th session of the sub-bodies that build our treaties.
Why are we at SB60 and still hitting the same walls?
A thread. A launch.

MEDIA RELEASE - LDC expectations for #SB60: "with the impacts of #ClimateChange intensifying yearly, we cannot stress enough the need for scaled-up #ClimateFinance for us to pursue emissions reductions, adapt to climate change & deal with #LossAndDamage" https://t.co/7AJ6cYtYZq

I don’t think most people realize just how rapidly the transition toward clean energy is accelerating.

The world invested 2.8 trillion in energy in 2023:

1.7 trillion in clean energy technologies
1.1 trillion in fossil fuels

[LDC Chair @LDCChairUNFCCC]

These are some of my priorities for the next two years as LDC Chair. I look forward to working with you all to achieve @UNFCCC decisions that deliver for our people as we address the climate crisis 🌍

[Ploy Achakulwisut, PhD @climateploy]

Lots of interest at #COP28 right now on Paris-aligned fossil fuel reduction pathways so thought I'd re-share three relevant publications I worked on this year:
1) @NatureComms paper analyzing 535 scenarios from the IPCC AR6.
2) 2023 #ProductionGap report
3) #10NewInsights

The new Global Carbon Budget is out, with complete data to 2022 & projections for 2023.

Fossil CO2 emissions up
Land use change emissions down
Natural CO2 sinks are maintained
CO2 concentrations continue to increase

What’s the difference between “carbon dioxide removal” and “carbon capture and storage,” and what role might each play in decarbonizing the global economy? Journalists, join our webinar with leading climate scientists Dr. @KHayhoe and @Sir_David_King! https://t.co/A2UfgXRNk4

[Glen Peters @Peters_Glen]

To limit global warming to '1.5°C with no or limited overshoot', the decline in global CO2 emissions relative to 2019 are:
* 48% by 2030
* 80% by 2040
* 99% by 2050

It is 2023 & global CO2 emissions are still rising!
