@GroverforSenate fine by me. four day work week. huge investments in public transit. there are an awful lot of things that need doing yesterday
@GroverforSenate it's a fight fought on many fronts. Conservation and efficiency are huge parts of it. I do not know how to get Americans to stop most of their driving in the next few years, and I think it's better they drive EVs
@GroverforSenate 1) their higher efficiency cuts down on emissions https://t.co/A52AN507Jd
2) they're no longer emitting particulates etc along the street where they do the most to cause asthma etc for vulnerable communities
3) but of course we have to fight for renewables to power them

Sent this to an analyst friend recently, who agreed.
"I think the story of US shale has mostly been written already. Best assets gone. Half trillion lost. Environmental and climate disaster. Executive looting. Pathetic media coverage. The damage has been done"
@MaraDolan1 @larakiara @robinberjon @angyxcx @TimmonsRoberts @cleancreatives Interesting. I’m less familiar with the “defunding” phenomenon, but we’re certainly pushing agencies to quit working with fossil fuel companies and more broadly to consider their work as their footprint. We’ll be issuing another report and doing more advocacy around COP.

It began at $6 trillion. The most expansive program on the climate crisis & vital social spending ever--in some cases--and in generations in others. It's been whittled down to $3.5 trillion. Now Manchin and Sinema to meet with Biden today to discuss "trimming" the bill further.
First reported by @vtg2 in @politico today:

Finally replying to that email you’ve been having anxiety about >>>>>
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but this is an absolutely critical week for climate policy. Let’s do this.
The infrastructure bill is not a climate bill. We must invest boldly in climate, for the good of our planet and our futures. #NoClimateNoDeal
We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make game-changing investments in climate, care, and citizenship. Passing the bipartisan bill without reconciliation puts every one of those investments at risk.
As someone who started with @USProgressives back in 2011, the Caucus has been absolutely brilliant in executing their strategy throughout this process.
Shoutout to @mikedarner @KeaneBhatt @miaajacobs @nilewhitmore who made it happen.
Happy birthday to my mom. It’s a small miracle that she has made it to this birthday. In late 2019 she was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer. And then there was a respiratory pandemic. https://t.co/lPOFH5QKMy

she’s a ridiculous person turning the entire Democratic Party upside down https://t.co/QMkkFDf9Ok
Manchin may suck but he's predictable, a known quantity. There's a level of haircut he'll require on recon bill and then it moves forward. It's a matter of finding that number. Sinema, it's become increasingly clear, is a 'calls are coming from inside the house' type situation.
@trvrb @macfound @HHMINEWS Congratulations! No doubt in my mind that your recognition is richly deserved and a cause for celebration. Best of luck, Trevor.
@studentactivism Correct. The most maddening thing about this is that the only shot at Sinema winning a second term is if recon passes. Duplicitous is manageable. Duplicitous and stupid is a dangerous combination.

@adamstein she might switch. but she won’t win re-election as a GOP.
4/ maybe it’s possible to pull it off where they pass the BIF and gave a path to still getting the recon bill. But if it’s just hope and no plan kill the BIF.
3/ Getting stiffed on the recon bill and providing the votes for Sinemas vanity project will show a weakness that will be devastating to the Dem coalition. Better to vote the BIF down. Kill it.
2/ which was: no. No help, no negotiations, no counter. Nothing. This is what I mean by losing well vs losing badly. Choosing the former often means you don’t lose at all. Bush’s plan collapsed. But you can lose in ways that are devastating beyond the immediate loss.
Back in 2004/05 Bush tried to partially abolish social security. GOP controlled the whole govt. they cld do it if they wanted to. Many Dems were saying they had to negotiate, come up with a counter, limit the damage etc. the eventually came round to the right approach …
3/ you’ve got a huge amount of institutional DC that simply doesn’t grasp some of the most elemental aspects of politics. I mean, yr in the politics business and know little about it.
2/ indeed more business friendly Dems in blue areas will be replaced by more progressive Dems. at one level these folks don’t care abt the internal coalition challenges of the Dem party. But more interesting to me is how few even get this at all.
One irony of the moment is I hear repeatedly abt biz lobbyists saying straightforwardly they want the BIF bad and want the recon bill to collapse. That’s ideal outcome. They don’t seem to grasp that if that happens all the remaining “mods” will lose their seats.
this is right. and for various reasons I think it’s better to kill the BIF than to risk BIF and nothing else. If you’re going to lose you need to lose well than lose badly. Getting jerked around with BIF bill is losing badly. https://t.co/TTxircrAHU
2/ mostly it’s game playing. but sinema also doesn’t know policy well enough to know what’s on the bill.
she’s bait and switch till the end. she’s back to black box. Give me my bill. In return you get the black box, which may have a trimmed down recon bill or simply nothing. https://t.co/eeVpZfjJAq
2/ likely improve chances in the general. If you don’t have majority support from members of yr own party, youre basically toast.
As I’ve pored over the numbers, it’s really not a case of whether a primary of Sinema wld weaken the Dem in the general. She’s so unpopular w potential voters I doubt she wld win a general. Primaries are virtually always damaging for the general. This is rare case where it wld ..

@jbouie i pulled together some polls last week. she actually has crazy high approval from GOPs. anyone who isn't an idiot can see she's basically toast with Dems and only popular among voters who like her for fucking her own party over and as you say will never vote for her.
@jbouie there are so many levels of nonsense it's really hard to pick apart. at some level i think she's just an idiot.
@adityasood I don't know about bananas but a lot of things come up about the personality type and interpersonal skills.
@jimlynch9999 @ericowensdc I mean, who knows. She has a reputation of being very rigid and often having an inability to read a room - in the literal sense and more broadly abt the political moment. She's decided this is her ticket and she doesn't talk with people who disagree.
@ericowensdc 2/ needs to inoculate herself from that. This is the best I've been able to come up with from talking to a lot of people in AZ and just observing. But I can't say I know it's right. Just the best I've been able to come up with.
@ericowensdc Truly a mystery. But the best I can figure is that she is trying to carve out a McCain type role for herself in AZ. And bucking her party, not being a traditional lib is what gets her there. Add to that she has a wild political past. So to a degree I think she thinks she ...
5/ lobbyist pals are telling them. Usually that's BS. There's more chicken and egg than that. With Sinema, I get the sense that may be much closer to the truth. In any case, if I were up there negotiating I too would be most worried about her.
4/ But the point is this is her theory and she's pursuing that goal. Her actions have basically nothing to do with actual policy questions. She's using bucking her party to build a story abt herself in Arizona. Generally speaking when people say oh they're doing what their ...
3/ You wld not at all have predicted Sinema wld play this role. She's off on this quest to brand herself the bipartisan maverick back home for a number of reasons. Ironically this seems like a total misread of the political moment. She's probably a one termer.
2/ Let's stipulate: Manchin is super annoying, seldom consistent and a real problem for the rest of his party. But back in December it was easy to predict he'd be playing this role. It basically makes sense in the context of his state, etc etc.

2/ This is clarifying on another level. We hear a lot about the 'better way' to execute the withdrawal everyone supposedly agrees on. If only Biden opted for the 'better way.' As we can see here the 'better way' was not to withdraw.
Note what Ted's saying here. The President decided to withdraw. The commanding general recommending against withdrawing - leaving 2,500 troops. The President decided otherwise and ordered the withdrawal. That may be a good or bad decision. But it's the President's decision. https://t.co/SBeVC6jTpD

“Why in the world would we not want to create thousands of jobs and reduce our energy costs by billions of dollars while securing a place for West Virginia in the 21st-century energy economy?” said Tim Cronin, a fellow at the WVU College of Law: https://t.co/08jewKUhpI
Does everyone out there actually understand that we have the plan and the technology to save civilization from total collapse and our government won’t do it because they are utterly corrupt?

My dad was not in the ICU, but in a physical rehab unit of the hospital to help him with his leg. They now say they did not know he had pneumonia at that point. He collapsed on the floor in his room and was left there, unnoticed, for six hours.
- we can’t win without better stories + cultural imagination
- systemic changes are of paramount importance - shaming/guilting people ab their personal choices only shuts down would be advocates
- there’s a growing and terrifying mental health crisis brewing with this storm https://t.co/ociUc24Mrd
When they found him he was blue and had an oxygen level of 50. He did not have Covid. He was taken to the ER and put on a ventilator, but they had to put him in *a storage room* because there physically not enough space due to all the unvaccinated Covid cases.
What happened was that while in the hospital, my dad caught viral pneumonia that went unnoticed. The whole state was in lockdown, and every hospital ICU was filling up with unvaccinated Covid patients. There weren't enough resources. The governor begged people to get vaxxed.
It's official: We have submitted initial data from the pivotal trial of our COVID-19 vaccine in children 5 to under 12 years of age to the @US_FDA: https://t.co/XORlEFksAs
In August my dad was living independently in rural New Mexico, as he has for years, in a beautiful place with a view of the mountains. He got vaxxed against Covid as soon as it was available, wore masks, and was waiting out the pandemic like the rest of us.
Then, he had a fall.
Hey folks, I'm thrilled to announce the merger of Rowan Institute and ReclaimingSTEM. Our two organizations were operating in parallel, with very similar mission and vision. And in this time of transition and healing through the pandemic, this merger is a strategic move. https://t.co/PINg6Sm4EG
So that was two weeks ago. If he'd gotten to that ICU even hours later, we would have lost him. They had to perform heroic acts to stabilize him. In a week his pneumonia had been brought under control, and he was starting to heal. They talked about a full recovery. However.
I think of my dad before all this happened, still working, living in his own (rented) home, looking out at the mountains, calling his children in California and in France.
The doctors and nurses say that a full recovery and getting off the trache is possible, but will be hard.
That we need to do comprehensive emergency management reform. https://t.co/ecqJAojZWU
As @KHayhoe said in a wonderful @JFKLibrary forum tonight, climate activism is contagious: eg, people are more likely to go solar if their neighbor does. Taking the train, driving an EV, etc. isn’t “virtue signaling” (ugh) — it’s what parents know as “modeling good behavior.”

Your interviews are my fav. You speak so concisely, packing a large amount of valuable, life-changing information into a few quick minutes.
Thanks for all that you do.

Something I've firmly come to believe since moving back from CA is that 1) It's not healthy for NYC to have a culture where all outdoor activity is crammed into 4 months and we're forced to live indoors otherwise 2) Being outside in winter is not that bad and we should embrace it https://t.co/oHfWoMcD2K

A lot of work remains to adapt the constrained warming projections used by the latest IPCC report to applied climate science. See @hausfath's thread. The question is: Who pushes this to happen? https://t.co/b8tIrN2L2S
We are setting the stage for a lot of confusion given differences in the future warming projections in the IPCC AR6 and the latest generation of models (CMIP6). For example, here are future projections for Norway from CMIP6 (dashed) and scaled to AR6 assessed warming (solid): https://t.co/YlVoKXxbn3

The political and substantive stakes in Congress this week: 😬
The AR6 took a novel (and I think improved) approach to future warming projections. Rather than simply using the CMIP6 mean, they used three different weighted CMIP6 estimates – with weights based model agreement with observed temperatures over the past few decades. https://t.co/3IS81yTInJ

Right now most folks doing assessments would use the dashed lines, even though they are inconsistent with the best estimate of warming in the AR6. This is because there is currently not any gridded future warming projections available that are consistent with AR6 assessed warming
This means that models with too much or too little historical warming were given less weight in the resulting analysis. These three weighted estimates were averaged, and further combined with a simple emulator tuned to the latest climate sensitivity estimates. https://t.co/5X0VakFxLn

@mslopatto Through the media telephone game, I think this has gone from drinking water from a puddle that she wanted to disinfect because it might have had bear urine in it, to somehow she got hold of and couldn't wait to chug down pure bear urine.
This produces warming estimates that are noticeably below those of the CMIP6 multimodel mean – given that very high sensitivity models are given less weight (and are inconsistent with the sensitivity ranges used by the emulator).
For the 2nd year in a row, #wildfires have burnt extensive areas in #California between July & September
But what are the corresponding carbon emissions for 2020 & 2021?
According to our #Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service #CAMS, the highest since🛰️measurements began https://t.co/54mw1IWMd7

What would be useful is if the community could create a set of weights (and pre-calculated weighted fields) in-line with AR6 assessed warming ranges for researchers to use for their own analyses. Otherwise we will see a lot of too-warm unweighted CMIP6 results in future papers.
@Steps2KeepCool @hausfath I also suggested learning from climate modeling experiences, and cited a @hausfath article.

@ThierryAaron @SunnySimons @drvolts @AndrewDessler @KevinClimate @70sBachchan @AliceClimate @AlexSteffen @IsakStoddard @jf_broderick Are you suggesting that because a fair outcome is implausible any outcome is implausible? I agree that rich countries should do their fair share, but I'm not sure how strong a constraint optimally fair outcomes is on all possible <2C outcomes.
@ClimateBen @drvolts @ThierryAaron @KevinClimate @70sBachchan @AliceClimate @AlexSteffen None of those current or stated policy projections involve large-scale net-negative emissions.
@jsabs But if that is the case you would still have to do a pretty rapid lift to avoid penalties if you are shutting down 40 percentage points of clean generation over two years (so as you suggest it wouldn't change things too much): https://t.co/mu0PSVz6oC
@jsabs That allows the deferral of grants or payments, but as its written does not imply a three year rolling window for the calculation of year-over-year clean energy changes, unless I am misinterpreting it (and, to be fair, the language is less than completely clear...).
@NatureAtCal @ESPM_Berkeley @whendeesilver @theAGU Congrats @whendeesilver!
@jsabs Is that an amendment to the draft text? It specifies both grants and payments are given relative to year-over-year changes in clean energy percentage: https://t.co/pCiObFEz80
@ClimateBen @drvolts @ThierryAaron @KevinClimate @70sBachchan @AliceClimate @AlexSteffen What is a reasonable assumption in this case. There is a growing published literature on current and stated policy outcomes available; are there any alternative estimates you would point to? https://t.co/Kb5gslItmg https://t.co/0VczBqTobv

"Nature-based storage projects sequestering carbon for < 100 years accounted for most proposals... (in total, more than 95% of CO2 volume). Its cheaper and easier to establish trees and enrich soils than to deploy nascent tech that capture carbon and store it geologically."
"Systems for accounting for carbon removal do not distinguish between short- and long-term forms of CO2 storage (see ‘Some carbon-removal strategies’). This distorts the market and discourages investments in more-durable solutions."
@KetanJ0 @duncan__c Illinois just passed a good bill with strong support for both existing nuclear and renewables. A very different picture from what happened in New York last year, thankfully: https://t.co/hdfaRFd4a1

@SunnySimons @drvolts @AndrewDessler @ThierryAaron @KevinClimate @70sBachchan @AliceClimate @AlexSteffen For 1.5C; 2C requires ~1.7% global emissions reductions (relative to current levels) per year starting today. Of course, the longer emissions take to fall the larger that annual reduction number becomes.
@PFriedling @drvolts @AndrewDessler @ThierryAaron @KevinClimate @70sBachchan @AliceClimate @AlexSteffen We have a helpful comparison of simple (no-net-negative emissions) pathways for 50% chance of 1.5C and a 66% chance of 2C here: https://t.co/mTz8QN1AAb
@drvolts @ThierryAaron @KevinClimate @70sBachchan @AliceClimate @AlexSteffen To put it another way, bending the curve of future warming down to 2C is a lot easier if you are on track for ~2.4C than if you are on track for 4C.
@drvolts @ThierryAaron @KevinClimate @70sBachchan @AliceClimate @AlexSteffen I don't think its a particularly likely without significantly enhanced ambition by countries relative to what we are seeing today. But I'm more optimistic that its a real possibility now than I was five years ago given progress made on clean energy and enhanced commitments: https://t.co/r1UwqIzLf9

@drvolts @ThierryAaron @KevinClimate @70sBachchan @AliceClimate @AlexSteffen The broader point here is that there is a world of difference in emissions pathways implied by an additional 0.5C warming between 1.5C and 2C.
@drvolts @ThierryAaron @KevinClimate @70sBachchan @AliceClimate @AlexSteffen A 50% chance of it, sure. Maybe a 66% chance if we get our act together quickly. Thats consistent with getting to net-zero by 2080 or so, which isn't crazy given the progress we have made: https://t.co/vQQkiflqSP

@ThierryAaron @KevinClimate @70sBachchan @AliceClimate @drvolts @AlexSteffen Thankfully this bit has not aged well: "Indeed, as we’ll see, stopping at 2 degrees C is getting close to impossible as well. There is no longer any reasonable chance of avoiding “dangerous” climate change, so 1 degree C vs. 2 degrees C is a somewhat academic debate."
@micsolana @kimmaicutler We will see what happens with Diablo; but more broadly there are a lot of existing US nuclear plants at risk of closure. The design of CEPP distinctly disfavors a large year-over-year decline in clean energy generation (which shutting down nuclear plants tends to result in).
@JuliusBusecke @pangeo_data @charlesstern Let me stick it up on GitHub for you.
We estimate that PG&E will be on the line for between $500 million to $1 billion in penalties depending on how fast they install clean energy in 2024 and 2025. They will also potentially be at risk for missing out on an additional $500 million in incentives.
So, if you are a utility planning to close existing nuclear plants, you better be in a position to replace 100% of their clean energy generation in the year they retire – rather than down the road – to avoid penalties under the CEPP. Utilities may want to reconsider accordingly.
Fully replacing Diablo with other clean generation in the year it is retired is a much more difficult task than replacing it over a longer period of time. Based on the CPUC, the clean firm gen and long-term storage intended to replace Diablo won’t be online until 2028 or later.
Because Diablo’s generation is baked into PG&E’s baseline, they will have to pay a penalty for any decline in clean energy percentage in the year in which each generating unit is retired, but are not eligible for any future clean generation incentives as they fill in the gap.
This is an important restriction: the ultimate replacement of Diablo’s generation with other clean energy sources will not result in any incentives — and will not reduce the penalty — unless it happens in the same year that Diablo is retired.
The magnitude of this penalty depends on the extent to which Diablo’s generation can be replaced by other clean generation in the year it retires.
PG&E is planning to decommission Diablo Canyon that is responsible for approximately half of their current clean energy in 2024 and 2025 (with one of the two generating units retiring in each year). This will very likely result in PG&E paying a penalty under the CEPP.
Finally, to avoid manipulation of the system, no incentives can be awarded for year-over-year increases in clean gen if it remains below baseline levels. This prevents utilities from removing existing clean gen and then being rewarded with incentives for filling the gap back in.
In addition, the CEPP includes a penalty for utilities that fail to achieve a 4 percentage point increase in clean generation. Specifically, utilities suffer a $40 per MWh penalty for the diff between their year-over-year increase in clean gen and the 4 percentage points target.
These $150 per MWh payments are given each year based on year-over-year changes. Effectively this means that each addition of clean generation gets a one-time payment, assuming the utility exceeds the minimum 4 percentage point increase in the year in which it is installed.
For example, if a utility had 20% of the electricity generation from clean sources in 2022, and increased that to 24% in 2023, they would be eligible for a payment of $150 per MWh for 2.5% (4% minus 1.5%) of their total generation.
CEPP awards utilities with a payment of $150 per MWh for an increase in year-over-year clean energy generation of over 1.5 percentage points if the total increase year-over-year exceeds 4 percentage points.
If the proposed Clean Energy Performance Program becomes law it will severely penalize utilities for closing existing nuclear plants. We estimate that closing the Diablo Canyon plant would cost PG&E somewhere between $500 million and $1.5 billion: https://t.co/7mBlxZxClY
@JuliusBusecke @pangeo_data @charlesstern Right now its quite small (just annual weights for the CMIP6 MMM that can be applied to each gridcell). Ultimately it would be good to have specific model weights or something similar to allow better exploration of uncertainties.
@AGrinsted They have all the other CMIP6 SSPs, but not SSP1-1.9 unfortunately.
@KrantzLena The observational data is from the Berkeley Earth dataset.
@amharmer High latitude regions warm a lot more than the global average, unfortunately.
RT @guynewey: At the weekend, I bemoaned the apparent absence of market liberals in energy.
So perhaps only fair to deal with the one are…
@ThijssenR (the 1930s in Norway were roughly half as warm as today, that is)
@ThijssenR Half as warm. But yes, there was a distinctly warm period in the 1930s in higher latitude land areas. Here is the Arctic, for example: https://t.co/UaYFM3sguE

@HyperHydr0 Agreed, weights are problematic for precipitation (though multimodel means are not great there either, weighted or unweighted).
@jgladwig Just the AR6, given that assessed warming ranges just came out. On CMIP6 weighting see Liang et al, Ribes et al, and Tokarska et al (@kasia_tokarska)
RT @wang_seaver: Check out the latest #IndiaEnergyHour episode, in which @ramansrikanth shares insights on near-term win-win policy options…
@JensTerhaar Pretty sure the assessed warming values are only applied to surface air temperatures in the AR6; I think precipitation and other climate variables just use the unweighted CMIP6 ensemble.
RT @voooos: A lot of work remains to adapt the constrained warming projections used by the latest IPCC report to applied climate science. S…
@ryanavent @sidkap_ @binarybits The most recent IPCC report gives a zero emissions commitment (ZEC) close to zero, based on the results of the ZECMIP experiments. They say its likely < 0.3C with a best estimate of ~0C, which is the same as I report in my piece. See Chapter 4 (section 4.71): https://t.co/rqVxnPl5XI

Accidentally exported a too-small version of the figure at the start of the thread. Here is a crisper version: https://t.co/HfmN6i9r1D

To create the figure in at the start of the thread, I've scaled each grid cell in the CMIP6 multimodel mean by the ratio of AR6 assessed GSAT to CMIP6 mean GSAT. This pattern scaling works reasonably well for the mean, but does not provide an easy way to account for uncertainties
@JohnFBruno @ecoangelhsu @RARohde @dan613 @MichaelEMann @DrSeaBove Accelerating aerosol emissions is the general explanation. That said, this is a period where observations and model projection don't agree perfectly: https://t.co/yPGR6AqnNr

(Monthly or annual resolution is fine, and only need tas field)
@gilbeaq @SizeMichael Sure, thats why 2021 coal use will still be below 2019 levels despite a an uptick. But expensive gas is still contributing to more coal generation this year, and will likely slow down retirements relative to a world of cheap gas (though expensive gas helps renewables/nuclear)
@hausfath I think it isn't these people as salespersons, but the idea is just too welcome and comfortable. It promises to solve both climate and biodiversity .. but is seriously flawed if you think a bit more.
@SimonLLewis @herrfischer @ClaudeAGarcia @hausfath @ScienceMagazine @ETH @CrowtherLab So in light of all of this, let’s make sure we assume the best of the scientists and activists mentioned herein and focus our effort to give constructive advice for how to do better. I admit I myself have not done this enough.
Now if only there was more #climatefinance to meet current policies, pledges, and targets... https://t.co/4ijaikPa1o
@hausfath I don’t mean to make too much of this. What you say is all true until it gets to “you have to time it to a given year”. You don’t. You have 3 years to do it without penalty. But you have to keep moving … so if you don’t achieve +4% in year x, you have until year x+1 to get to 8%
Important thread for anyone who may use CMIP6 for regional work.
~0ne-third of CMIP6 models run implausibly warm, so IPCC AR6 authors created *global* "assessed" temp projections to correct for this.
But no guidance (yet) on correcting the CMIP6 output at *regional* scales. https://t.co/9iTx3qdjdY
Agree. AND - all those “short term” solutions on the left are far more likely to have benefits outside carbon, whereas DAC has fewer in exchange for longer term storage.
Wouldn’t it be great to easily see the other benefits beside the carbon benefit?
#corebenefitslabel https://t.co/blippAYLs3
@drvolts @AndrewDessler @hausfath @ThierryAaron @KevinClimate @70sBachchan @AliceClimate @AlexSteffen By still on the table, I guess Andrew meant: 2⁰C is more likely than 1.5⁰C.
@hausfath It says in the SPM that ocean heat uptake is also constrained. There is also a NCC paper about constraining past with future uptake, that makes me even more suspicious, given that almost all is taken up in the Southern Ocean & that all models don't represent obs in sea ice trends
@hausfath @ecoangelhsu @RARohde @dan613 @MichaelEMann @DrSeaBove Thanks Zeke.

@ClimateOfGavin We’re putting NCAR’s Climate model, inputs and outputs into https://t.co/r3Majter6j for free access by anyone. Some CMIP6 data is already there. Happy to host more datasets, once we know what people want to use and share.
@hausfath Interesting. Thanks for highlighting. Would be heroic to get relicensing done at this point.
@hausfath Regarding the Ribes et al. method (which is not a model weighting), we have recently worked on (and submitted) an extension to the regional or local scales -- using both GSAT and local observations to build the constraint. More on this soon (I hope)!

The single clearest variable we can use to gauge whether or not this would change emissions is the response of Australia's fossil fuel industry to these machinations.

I'm to the point of parenting (he's a HS senior) when each of these spontaneous encounters feels to me like one of a finite & rapidly shrinking number, the loud tick of a clock, and I squeeze it for all its worth.

For the past three years I’ve consistently called out the hydrogen lobby for its excesses.
But I’m not anti-hydrogen. I’m pro climate.
So if I see anti-hydrogen bs I’ll call that out too.
Simple as.
@jtemple The real challenge is detecting and decrying the first while making clear, safe room for the second.
I'd also argue that the first is a *wwayyyy* bigger problem than the second. Delay of action, or justification for worsening, is frequently couched in language of tech innov
@jtemple The problem here is that people define 'bet' and 'focus' in different ways.
Eg: a fossil company saying "We're going to open this gas field because we expect carbon removal to be cheap in 2040" ≠ "We're going to let a government agency research how to make carbon removal cheap"
The spectacular thing about this opening is how the clapping fades and stumbles as the audience realises exactly what @GretaThunberg is doing.

The debate goes around in circles a bit because there's a heavy focus on the end point. But the single key metric is the total mass of GHGs sent up into the big blue.
That is - you can even have a later end date, if you promise go super-hard early on:

Feels like I hear "we need [carbon removal / offsets / negative emissions / whatever] at least five times a day at the moment.
But very few attempts to pause and interrogate why it's being constantly said? https://t.co/O98r0Odrnb

@KetanJ0 i think they're improving the flavour selections in the next generation
these gas price spike charts look like ppm concentrations.... https://t.co/kur6wcGsur
There are like, 4 or 5 different vectors through which delayers / deniers / fossil industry folks can tug on the lines in that chart above so their interests are protected at the cost of a greater mass of GHGs, and consequently, a greater harm we all experience.
In that it demonstrates that you can set a net zero by 2050 target and then just coast along without changing anything, yes, they probably have https://t.co/oMFfU8CuBq
I'm guessing a large part of that traffic was generated by op-eds & thought pieces about how, yes, insulation and energy efficiency is vital, but no, this wasn't the right way to bring it to people's attention #InsulateBritain https://t.co/eGMwcN0Rga

@KetanJ0 I find the phrase "Boycott Glasgow" hilarious without the context.
@gnievchenko Some pretty interesting cultural and rhetorical groups forming around the the substance.
@KetanJ0 It's a fair point though my impression is that some people still minimize the significant need for such novel technologies in order to meet climate targets with the argument "if only..."

@DeepShort7 People justifying new extraction and fossil burning projects, along with infrastructure and killing policies to reverse that - on the grounds that we can simply remove emissions later - is a nice example.
@DeepShort7 No - but this is a problem of degrees, and failing to recognise the failures that brought about this situation results in a steady and unrecognised worsening of the problem.

For my international followers: Zali Steggall is an independent MP who's trying to get cross party support for a UK style net zero plan that incorporates 5-year carbon budgets and an independent gov committee. It's a v good plan and deserves plenty of support: https://t.co/VgCx0kTDej
Ita Buttrose, who's in the clip celebrating and re-affirming Hanson's call to ban Muslim immigration after the attacks, is now chair of Australia's public broadcaster, btw.
This problem is baked so deep into media industries that they're fundamentally inextricable.
It's worth noting that @jessrowe really did explicitly and strongly call out Hanson's vicious and acidic response to the Manchester attacks. Now she's giving her a cuddly and lovable public persona. What happened between now and then?

I say this as someone who is participating in a global effort to collaboratively redesign the fundamentals of humanity in order to avoid our potential self-destruction.
One consistent thing I see from a few specific COVID19 focused public health groups in Aus is serious proposals to permanently change society without any of the social science, justice and equity considerations or political / cultural considerations that should come with that.
