Amazing to see 12 @JetstarAirways flights cancelled due to the #globalIT outage. How did they escape unaffected? https://t.co/QucXYpYnSP

Good call, @goldmanprize. Very good call. Murrawah is herself a force of nature! #goldmanprize https://t.co/aZPfQQajXT

I’ve never been happier to see the end of a year and ring in a new one than now.

2023, you are more than welcome to fuck right off - I know it’s only 8.15 but if you want to go now, I’ve packed all your shit and left it by the door.

2024, let’s go.

The only beneficiaries of civil society leaders and environmental campaigners being locked up are fossil fuel companies. My letter in @SCMPNews today. #FreeHong #StandwithBach https://t.co/3xjKm5Rdkt

@craigreucassel @AlanKohler Staggering, hey? I'm exactly the same. This has been on my mind constantly. The RBA used quantitative easing to keep the commercial banks flush with cash during COVID, and now that rates are increasing, the banks receive more from both the RBA and customers.

Second session on #CCS at #APClimateweek, cancelled. That's 0 for 2, carbon capture salespeople. You're as reliable at arranging talks as you are at reducing emissions. #greenwash

[Julien Vincent @julesallover]

At #APClimateWeek, highliting the plight of Vietnamese civil society leaders who should be part of talks like this but have been imprisoned. The "just" in Just Transitions means a lot of things, including a free civil society. #standwithbach #freehong

[Julien Vincent @julesallover]

Just went to a session at #APClimateWeek on "The critical role of CCS in a net-zero world". Nobody turned up to present. So on brand for carbon capture and storage: lots of marketing but nothing to back it up.

[Julien Vincent @julesallover]

Vietnam is a beautiful country with wonderful people – they deserve clean, cheap and climate-friendly renewable energy like the JETP sponsoring countries enjoy. #standwithbach #freehong #APClimateWeek https://t.co/bIpMDWygOU

[Julien Vincent @julesallover]

We need to cut emissions 43% by 2030 on 2019 levels to limit #globalwarming to 1.5 degrees. We're projected to have cut? 2%. Maybe at #APClimateWeek we might start talking about the fossil fuel industry's massive expansion plans?

Maybe if we all got rained in, the level of ambition here at Asia Pacific Climate Week might escalate a bit.

[Julien Vincent @julesallover]

Nicholas Wagner of IRENA at Asia Pacific Climate Week: not a single measure we track to achieve the 1.5 degree limit is actually on track.

[Julien Vincent @julesallover]

Wow

[Laura Chung @Laura_R_Chung]

This is wild: PM set to offer Australia as climate refuge for 11,200 Tuvalu residents

[Julien Vincent @julesallover]

This is painful.

When asked: "Can you have the head of an oil company leading talks about reducing climate emissions", an emphatic "OF COURSE NOT!" should be issued, potentially even as the question is being put.

📍 The #GoldmanPrize is heading to Malaysia!

From October 13 - 17, the Goldman Environmental Prize will be on the ground at Asia-Pacific Climate Week in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. #ClimateWeekAP

Let me translate:

may be = definitely is
some = absolutely all

"Optus is aware of an issue that may be impacting some of our mobile and internet customers," the company wrote in a statement.

Hey @bendigobank, you've been blaming your >hour long phone waiting times on "recent events" for several years now. What, exactly are the recent events that mean customers have to sit for hours at a time being told someone will be with us shortly?

[Julien Vincent @julesallover]

Call to suspend Vietnam's Just Energy Transition Partnership, as its government detains a 6th environmentalist in two years. https://t.co/YviAhrcxHT

[Julien Vincent @julesallover]

Love a crescent moon

[Julien Vincent @julesallover]

Very sad, but not at all surprising, to see NGO leaders in Vietnam considering leaving the country due to the government's imprisoning of environmental defenders. There's no justice in this "just transition".
