In the lead up to COP, we believe it’s essential there be a coherent global plan for ending new fossil fuel financing.
Joined April 2021
We're officially launching! Our letter for the PM is complete. Thanks to the hundreds of you who have signed so far, and to @friends_earth and @PriceofOil for their advice. Let's end new fossil fuel financing this year! Keep signing up🌎 #cop26cap #keepitintheground #EarthDay

"We’re not killing the planet. We’re killing our future on it." We’re warming the planet faster than most mass extinctions in history. The last time it happened this fast, 90% of species vanished. Focus on historic temperatures isn't the point, the speed of change is.

Here is a new short interview I did about the risk of a major ocean circulation change in the Atlantic. #AMOC Check it out - e.g. if you are unclear about the difference between the tipping point and the point of shutdown. https://t.co/zuLBV5472g

What is AMOC and why would its collapse catastrophically disrupt the global climate? Hear from the leading expert Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf about this looming climate threat you probably haven't heard of

Hail is very non-uniformly distributed around the world. For much of the world, you almost never see hail large enough to damage solar panels. The central USA does have some issues though. https://t.co/LB3lohEdRn

We warned in a report for the government in 2008 that biofuels are not sustainable and recommended to discontinue their use.
“When crops are burned for fuel, new land can be needed to grow new crops for food or fuel. This can lead to indirect land clearance and deforestation. Staggeringly, biofuels globally therefore today emit 16% more CO₂ emissions than the fossil fuels they replace.”

The answers remain the same, to mimimise harm emissions must be cut as fast as possible. Let us hope at #COP30 the usual blocker petrostates et al recognise their responsibility in having a safer world for all. #repurposefinance

Climate combined with regional population growth have dramatically changed the geopolitical outlook.

India has said it would suspend crucial treaty governing river flows in disputed Kashmir. Pakistan has said any disruption to water supply would be ‘an act of war.’

What happens when water becomes scarce? Wars? Migration? Civil unrest? All of the above? We neglect these issues at our peril

An even bigger problem for humanity is glacial melt in the Himalayas. #AMOC collapse will change the monsoons and climate change is already disrupting the water supply for 1.6 billion people who rely on glacial melt

The accelerating melting of the Himalayan glaciers threatens the water supply of millions of people in Asia, new research warns.

As monsoons change the face of #Everest, glaciers retreat, permafrost melts and destabilises. Hikers were caught by ‘unseasonal weather’ which seems all too common. Even Everest is affected by climate change, as climbers attest.
Late Post: #BBC Verified Live had me explain about trapped tourists, trekkers and climbers in and around #Everest both on the Chinese and Nepali sides.... The changing #Monsoon system and the threat from #Westerlydisturbances.

Antarctica may have crossed a tipping point that leads to rising seas Scientists are beginning to understand the sudden loss of sea ice in Antarctica ― and there is growing evidence that it represents a permanent shift with potentially catastrophic consequences

"No more climate change worship", Hegseth tells US military leaders 🙄. They know better. I know that, having been invited to speak at a NATO workshop on Climate Change Security. Climate science is not woke or religion or whatever, it’s physics. It got two physics Nobel prizes.

Threads like this will disappear. There are interlocking themes, all revolving around money and power. It is in the interest of those with money and power that threads like this are not widely spread.
➡️ Charlie Kirk ➡️ “Tommy Robinson” ➡️ The PR machine defending the Israeli government ➡️ The war on climate science What have they got in common? Their funders - a small clique of American billionaires. 💰 It sounds like a conspiracy theory - but it’s true. 🧵

Why are bills going up by £100 in April? R4 Today's @bbcnickrobinson claimed "People say bills are going to go up... because *you’re determined not to use fossil fuels*" With many households still struggling with the cost of living, let's look at what's *actually* happening...

Trump. Putin. Carney. Støre. bin Salman. Every leader of a petrostate is a murderous lying scumbag - except perhaps for one.

There are plausible solutions but where is the political will? The conclusions are from DeepSeek:

An AMOC collapse is a transnational, systemic risk that involves geopolitics, global trade collapse, and national security. It falls into a gap between departments (DEFRA, Cabinet Office, FCDO, MOD) and no single entity may feel solely responsible for planning for it.
