Those who cause climate damages via fossil fuels will have to pay. It is wrong if some people put money in their pockets while damages don't get paid. We need to make the polluters pay for them. "Listen to science" has just acquired a new meaning. https://t.co/p7TuQUr4Ju

Excellent news for the UK’s coal phase-out: the Whitehaven coal mine has been cancelled. It would have emitted up to 432 million tonnes of CO₂ over its lifetime – more than 1.2x the UK’s annual emissions! #KINGMovement #Climate #LeaveItInTheGround #climateaction #FossilEndgame

Rather than talking up the risks of the energy transition to justify moving slowly, central banks could actively de-risk the transition and make it a swift success that improves financial and price stability!
The shift to a net-zero economy is not without financial risk and central banks in richer countries have the tools to manage them down, says Matthias Kroll of the World Future Council @Good_Policies

The fossil endgame is on, globally. Coal will be first to go, next will be fossil gas, due to its horrible near-term heating impact & better alternatives. For oil, the smarter part of the industry will soon realize that it is *too valuable to burn*! https://t.co/8SjgzYwfAb
