It’s essential to get the language on fossil fuels right in the text. I got together with my current and former bosses Cameron Hepburn and Myles Allen to talk about how continued fossil fuel use cannot get us to net zero.

There is a widespread fallacy (spread even by those who know better) that warming has already crossed the 1.5C or even 2C threshold. That is simply false (see e.g. Prof Richard Betts article: nature.com/articles/d4158…).

We must call out unhelpful falsehoods regardless of the source.

Australia's grid danced on the brink of 100% clean power! Renewables flexed muscles, meeting 98.6% of potential demand.

A major step toward a green future! theguardian.com/environment/20…

Richest 1% generate as much carbon emissions as the poorest two-thirds.

It is great to see my very talented colleague lead the speed dating between Researchers and Journalists for SGCIAfrica.

I am looking forward to reading more stories about research quoting the researchers.

Climate chaos knows no boundaries, sparking floods, fires, and droughts worldwide.

But diverse voices are joining the chorus of accountability through litigation!

Governments and businesses, get ready – the world demands climate action! thehill.com/opinion/energy…

Some amazing work from Yale Program on Climate Change Communication revealed that despite growing alarm about climate change, over 2/3 of Americans rarely or never talk about it. (1/2) link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Navigating Carbon Removal Challenges: To achieve net-zero emissions, CDR's endurance must match CO2's persistence.

Biological CDR suits land-use emissions, while geological CDR holds promise for permanence.

Litigation is the climate warrior's sword!

From Oregon's $50 billion suit against oil giants to NGOs suing for legacy pollution in France, lawsuits are shaping a greener future.

Governments and activists unite in the courtroom for climate action! thehill.com/opinion/energy…

OECD modelling suggests achieving net zero may come at a higher fiscal cost than previously thought.

Global public revenues could dip by 0.4% of GDP in 2030 and 1.8% in 2050.

However, this is cheap when you consider health benefits to future generations! ft.com/content/7d343c…

The hidden gem in the climate puzzle is equity, sustainability, & poverty eradication.

But some net zero pledges might've misplaced these pieces! The flexibility of 'net zero' needs to meet the Paris Agreement's vision of a resilient, inclusive world. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

Lloyd’s of London and other big European insurers are underwriting almost a third of US coal production despite their net zero pledges!

Coal is the largest contributor of carbon dioxide emissions, and the US is the fourth largest producer of coal worldwide.…

Transitioning to Net Zero requires comprehensive emission reductions across energy, transportation, agriculture, and industry sectors.

Concurrently, enhancing natural carbon sinks through sustainable land-use practices is vital in curbing climate change. nature.com/articles/s4155…
