I will no longer be posting on this platform due to its deplatforming of climate people and the fact its owner is a manbaby given such vast taxpayer subsidies he's allowed to play at capitalism with the training wheels still on

I'm here instead: https://t.co/DSxPeEE2f3

#BREAKING🚨

At least 1773 fossil fuel lobbyists registered for #COP29, dwarfing delegations sent by the most climate vulnerable nations

As UN giants warn that COPs are no longer fit for purpose, this analysis shows precisely why https://t.co/hh8ghbuko0

Are we making the kind of sweeping emissions cuts that science says is needed to secure a liveable planet for future generations?

No.

But are we at least *reducing* emissions?

Also no.

Protest on Israel’s aggression against Palestinians happening now in #COP29 blue zone

I believe this is the first demonstration of the Baku talks

[Patrick Galey is on @patrickgaley.bsky.social @patrickgaley]

#BREAKING🚨

SOCAR, the Azeri state oil company, sought $8 billion of oil and gas deals since Baku became COP29 host, 3x more than the preceding 12 months

Another COP, another petrostake using talks to make fossil fuel deals #COP29

Under Biden the US became the biggest petrostate in history. I'm not saying Trump won't be bad for the climate, but can we stop pretending the US has ever been good? https://t.co/AVRSnYYLbM

[Glen Peters @Peters_Glen]

"Drill baby drill"

Just remember Trump is only saying the quiet part out loud. The US has been drilling baby drilling its way to the world's top oil producer via several Presidents...

[Corporate Accountability @StopCorpAbuse]

On the eve of #COP29, we have one message for policymakers gathering in Baku: It's time to STOP the #CarbonMarkets shenanigans.

My Sunday sermon: Every single article referencing Musk fails its public interest test if it doesn’t mention how Tesla is most subsidised company in history and how the “self-made” billionaire is allowed to pay capitalism with the training wheels still on

@mildlettuce I asked a question and you didn’t answer, but, I don’t deny a genocide. You do. History will remember

[Patrick Galey is on @patrickgaley.bsky.social @patrickgaley]

Anyone still reluctant to call what Israel is doing in Gaza genocide, can I ask that you look at the breakdown of age and gender of its victims and give me an alternative word or phrase that accurately describes this?

@mildlettuce Oh so now you believe the UN?

Every year I help to classify and count the number of fossil fuel lobbyists there are at COP. Every year we find 100s if not 1000s

In every follow up interview I’m asked: Why is their presence automatically bad? Don’t they need to contribute?

So this is me tapping the sign👇

A senior #COP29 official has been secretly filmed offering to do oil and gas deals

ANOTHER reason why petrostates shouldn't host climate talks, and why we urgently need a firewall to keep fossil fuel executives interfering with the summits https://t.co/g9f6x5YfXB

In nearly every interview I ever do around COPs, the journalist asks: "But why is it bad to have petrostates host climate talks"

I, I don't know. Maybe some version of this: https://t.co/g9f6x5YfXB

[Patrick Galey is on @patrickgaley.bsky.social @patrickgaley]

And that’s without even mentioning the $29bn in military aid the US has send Israel during its extermination of Palestinians

[Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they) 🪬 @DoctorVive]

This. What this chart shows should be hugely important in all analyses of this election.

The economic story of the past four years is not just about the relationship between wages and prices.

It's about money that brought people out of poverty being taken away.

I don’t think Harris lost because of Gaza, but I do think it was politically (never mind morally) incoherent of her campaign not to do what is any candidate’s main job: maximise their chances of winning

And the worst part is that the Democratic establishment simply cannot bring themselves to imagine that more people like what Trump is selling than their same old nonsense, a kind of late-stage neoliberalism where the only value they recognise is campaign cash

[Phara Souffrant Forrest @phara4assembly]

Bernie is absolutely right. The far right is winning because Democrats won’t change. People are hurting & they’re tired of broken promises, watered-down policies, and empty rhetoric while their communities suffer. Trump was handed this election by a feckless immobile elite.
