How do we know humans are responsible for #climatechange?
#IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report shows that the dominant role of humans in driving recent climate change is clear. This is based on a synthesis of information from multiple lines of evidence.

My reaction to the latest #COP28 draft Global Stocktake text:
The text is a monument of schizophrenia: It first acknowledges, recognises, or notes the numerous and gigantic gaps between what is needed and what has been delivered up to now.
Those gaps are in every sector: emission reductions, adaptation, climate finance from developed countries, capacity building, greening of the energy system…
And then, after such a clear diagnosis, it decides almost NOTHING.
It is striking that this draft « decision text » contains 115 occurrences of the verbs « acknowledge », « recognise », and «note », while the verb « decide » is used only five times, and in relation to minor issues.
There seems to be a total disconnect between the diagnosis and the treatment.
The diagnosis is that of a potentially deadly cancer, due to abuse of fossil fuels.
The prescribed treatment is a mixture of wishful thinking and magic.
To say that governments are called to take actions that « could include », « inter alia » « reducing both consumption and production of fossil fuels so as to achieve net zero (…) around 2050 in keeping with the science » amounts to actually neglecting the science that says that anything short of phasing out fossil fuels almost completely by 2050 will not allow respecting the 1.5°C target with a serious probability.
I invite the negotiators of all Parties to read again the letter I wrote the other day with @MichaelEMann on behalf of the climate system:

This man was a teacher for 40 years.
In 1974, Dale Irby, a gym teacher in Dallas, realized he had worn the same outfit as the previous year on Picture Day, and decided to simply go with it, after Cathy – his wife – dared him to.
So here you got 40 years with the same outfit until Dale's eventual retirement in 2013.

Honestly I'm impressed that it isn't ugly. It's an electric sedan with dual motors, optional LIDAR and an active rear wing. And of course there are 3 versions: SU7, SU7 Pro, and SU7 Max 😭
