Please take this as a completely serious warning.
If the Supreme Court of the United States gives Trump the immunity he is seeking,
America has ended.
Even when Trump loses in November, the executive office will be distorted beyond recognition.
De facto ,actually de jure, dictatorship.
Giving such power is much much easier than taking it back.

This fact has not changed during the year.
We don't need miracle techs to address climate. We need to deploy, deploy, deploy existing techs as fast as possible.

🧵 What we have been seeing in the #cop28 negotiations can be summarized as the good, the bad, and the ugly. 1/6

COP28 is now on the verge of complete failure. The world desperately needs to phase out fossil fuels as quickly as possible, but this obsequious draft reads as if OPEC dictated it word for word. It is even worse than many had feared. It is “Of the Petrostates, By the Petrostates and For the Petrostates.” It is deeply offensive to all who have taken this process seriously. There are 24 hours left to show whose side the world is on: the side that wants to protect humanity’s future by kickstarting the orderly phase out of fossil fuels or the side of the petrostates and the leaders of the oil and gas companies that are fueling the historic climate catastrophe. In order to prevent COP28 from being the most embarrassing and dismal failure in 28 years of international climate negotiations, the final text must include clear language on phasing out fossil fuels. Anything else is a massive step backwards from where the world needs to be to truly address the climate crisis and make sure the 1.5°C goal doesn’t die in Dubai.

Yes, this pledge by 118 countries to triple renewables and double efficiency is a great start & consistent with these plans to transition to 100% #WindWaterSolar for all energy, albeit we need an 80% transition by 2030 and 100% by 2035-2050

Today, over 118 countries sign up to the EU's Global Pledge to double global energy efficiency and triple renewables capacity.
We have built a truly global coalition ↓ xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1DXxyjPqD…

The Paris agreement was never designed to regulate fossil fuels production, it was about emissions targets. A @fossiltreaty will help us meet those goals and manage the phase out of fossil fuels. Great conversation with @Nick_Nuttall and @RRegenvanu today on @wedonthavetime

Salton Sea area could produce enough lithium (18 million tonnes of lithium carbonate) for 375 million electric car batteries
And much of this lithium may be extracted with no new mining through existing geothermal electricity brines

Germany plows ahead toward its goal of 100% renewable electricity:
Adds 11.7 GW of solar and 2.46 GW of onshore wind and 0.229 GW of offshore wind during first 10 months of 2023

What we must do immediately:
1) End the use of fossil fuels
2) Build massive amounts of solar & wind
3) Electrify everything
4) Localize
5) Conserve
5) Find solutions for the last hard stuff (planes, cement)
6) Stop cutting down forests

The problem is we have people with little knowledge of what they are talking about talking a lot. Because they have money, people listen.
What we need is people to listen to reason, not money.
Using Direct Air Capture to solve climate crisis is "complete nonsense." It increases CO2, air pollution, fossil mining & fossil infrastructure.
Planting trees decreases CO2

While California is filing a lawsuit against 5 of the world's largest oil companies alleging they lied to the public about damages their product causes, these buses are making the rounds on Vancouver streets. Call out oil and gas industry misinformation: dsfdn.org/OilGasMisinformati…

Since 2019, almost $5 billion has been invested in renewable energy projects in Alberta, generating enough electricity to power more than a million homes.
So why is the Government of Alberta putting a hold on new project approvals? The #ABPoli answers have so far been muddled.
Pipe Up Network retweeted
How much of the country has to burn, how many thousands evacuated and choking on smoke before our country takes the climate emergency seriously and stops expanding oil, gas and LNG projects and starts focusing on keeping people safe? #cdnpoli
Pipe Up Network retweeted
Alberta has put a moratorium in wind and solar?! And will require mandatory end of lied bonds?!! Is this a joke? There 97,000 inactive oil wells not properly closed and 71,000 abandoned wells requiring clean-up. How about bonds for oil and gas?!!! #cdnpoli theglobeandmail.com/business…

Well, @JustinTrudeau, @Dave_Eby what are your thoughts about Canada's ranking (58 out of 62) on the Climate Change Performance Index? Are we acting like there is a climate emergency?

If this isn’t a sign for the doubters out there, then what is? Almost all of Canada’s on fire. And it’s because of climate change. We are in an emergency. Time to get it together, especially my home province of Alberta where government leaders are pushing to keep raping the earth via oil sands & selling it to burn greenhouse gases around the world. Well, Mother Earth is raging

Corbella: "Thankfully, the UCP brought in surplus budgets and whittled away at Notley’s reckless debt."
Reality: total taxpayer supported debt in 2019 was $62.7B. Total in 2023 was $79.4B.
Does whittled not mean what I think it means? Or is Corbella lying again? #ableg
