[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

The longest sentence handed down to a violent racist rioter this week is shorter than the sentences imposed on entirely peaceful environmental protesters last month.
Labour must repeal the Tory laws that treat peaceful protest more severely than violent disorder and assault.

1/16. #COP27 officially began today with the ceremonial opening taking place in the plenary this morning and we have already seen significant developments on #LossAndDamage. Here is our summary on day one of #COP27. 🧵

[Shreya Jai @shreya_jai]

#COP27 starts on a historic note: Loss & damage funding makes it to the negotiating agenda, first time in the history of UN climate negotiations.

[Professor Mark Maslin 👋 𝕏 @ProfMarkMaslin]

#COP27 must deliver massive emissions reductions, money for loss & damage with social justice

As #ClimateChange negotiations have failed over the last 30 years. 🤦‍♂️

Carbon dioxide levels still going up ⬆️ causing rising global temperatures 🌡

1.2°C and rising ➡️ 🌪💨⛈🌀🌊🔥🥵

Investors claiming investee company avoided emissions are attributable to them and allow them to offset their financed emissions is a concern and not permitted under frameworks like ⁦@sciencetargets⁩. Claiming net zero today using this logic is wrong https://t.co/3ZO6zCIcl9

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Global South countries, led by South Africa and India, have requested a suspension of the WTO's patent rules to enable them to manufacture or import affordable generic versions of the COVID-19 vaccine. Shockingly, Britain and other rich countries have refused.

HM Government confirms UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) to be in place from January 2021. Great news and big win! World’s first net zero aligned ETS comes a step closer! https://t.co/BjxnLR0b5U

Exxon spent $261bn on capital expenditures 2009-2019, while its O&G production remained flat, and it added $45bn in debt, according to investment bank Evercore. Its return on capital employed in 2009 was 16%; last year it was 4%. Time for this CEO to go. https://t.co/d17nuybdKC

NEW | In-depth Q&A: What the global shift in diets means for climate change @Josh_Gabbatiss

This is the second part of Carbon Brief’s week-long series on food and climate, looking at how people's diets are changing around the world…

@KwanAnnTan what are they singing!

[Carbon Brief @CarbonBrief]

Emissions from beef production vary across different farms and countries. This chart shows the spread of emissions produced in the making of various foods.

While meat causes the highest emissions, the production of some foods, including certain nuts, can help to reduce CO2.

In our Global trends in climate change litigation 2020 we anticipated that: "Another possible source of climate litigation [in COVID times] could be challenges to government bailouts of the oil, airline and car industries".

Two months later...

Some really distressing reporting by @LauraSullivaNPR - the plastics crisis is looming on the other side of our climate crisis. I wonder what Big Oil will do when they realise they can't burn their oil anymore... https://t.co/0Za2NREriB

[Ming Zee Tee @mingzee_tee]

Mitigating COVID loss but certainly not mitigating climate change. This is just a new low...
