But CO2 is plant food, right?

The UK’s 2% target for new woodland over 10 years is woefully inadequate.
We need far more ambition.
Costa Rica did it 👇

Extraordinary levels of deceit.
Just for a few $$$ more.

All six entities—Exxon, Chevron, Shell, BP, API, and the Chamber—obstructed and delayed the Committees’ investigation. Despite valid subpoenas, the entities refused to fully comply with the investigation,

make public pledges to support the Paris Agreement and to achieve net zero emissions while internally recognizing that they could not achieve
those goals or referring to them as outside of their business plans;

The disinformation files?
How to say one thing and do another?
How to doublespeak?
Call it what you will, in this extraordinary report are people who know full well they are riding the abyss destroying their own children's futures but simply don't care.

Since then, humankind has added more CO2 than the rest of history combined.

The problem of Growth vs Degrowth is ever larger. Can economies can be 'decoupled' from the emissions causing climate breakdown?

This has to be looked at in context and carefully.
Thanks to Duncan Austin for the clarity provided:

What did the Gov think would happen if it largely eliminated the consequences to profit-seeking water companies for breaking the rules?

Great thread for those wanting to know the roots of the existential crises we face.

Economists look at this in terms of GDP.
Or not at all.

Scientists say this is what needs to happen.
Economists ignore this.
Politicians listen to economists.
It is easier.
But deadly.

What happens when we get to 5°C above pre-industrial temperatures?
Economists think this makes perfect sense.
Scientists warn of extinction level events.
Why this disparity?
Who should we believe?

The Limits to Growth, first published in 1972 is still our best predictor.
Time to wake the editors up Justin Rowlatt
Time to wave the politicians up Laura Kuenssberg
Time to talk to Steve Keen BBC Newsnight

They apparently don't understand graphs.

What lies behind climate and ecological breakdown and the destruction of our planet? Economists are not climate sciences so why are politicians listening to them? These are fundamental questions earthily dealt with by Dr. Steve Keen

Somehow we missed this important article.
Do we want to start a new even more polluting industry? Thank you Simon Oldridge and Kevin Anderson for researching this.

My article with @Kevinclimate on why the new UK #hydrogen strategy is scam designed to prop up North Sea gas, under the pretence of climate action.
It'll impose a huge cost on UK taxpayers and lock us into a high emissions pathway. Key points 🧵📣
