And with that, I bow out of this place - probably far later than I should have. Please do connect with me elsewhere, and follow some of my writings here:

Trump did not cause the climate crisis - it was already locked in. But he will massively accelerate it. On #politicslive yesterday.

Francesca is on point as usual.
Also, we need Western countries allied to Israel to stop reinforcing the Zionist belief that global opposition to Israel is related to the religious affiliation of the majority of Israelis, rather, it stems from distaste for the previous 75 years of military aggression and grave mistreatment of the native population whose land they now occupy.

Its a blessing to work in environmental conservation in a country where death threats are rare. Respect to Colombia's environmental defenders.

#ParisAgreement and #UNFCCC are facing a relevancy crisis:
1. We are likely past the 1.5 target
2. #COP29 being written off by world leaders
3. Trump will likely pull out of Paris (which is dumb, but whatevs).
This is not the most terrible outcome. Hear me out. 🧵

5/ The waning relevance of #UNFCCC is an opportunity to look to other int'l institutions to govern climatethat will actually address the existential politics of climate change. FIN

Israel has announced to the world that it has ethnically cleansed northern Gaza.
From the very start, it has been hideously clear what Israel’s intentions are.
But it’s those who have said so who have been smeared, while the apologists and deniers have faced no accountability.
Palestinians will not be allowed to return to homes in northern Gaza, says IDF dlvr.it/TG2dw1

"With the reelection of Donald Trump, a candidate who has flaunted his desire for autocracy... the US is now poised to become an authoritarian state ruled by plutocrats and fossil fuel interests... in short, a petrostate." @MichaelEMann

America *now* poses a major threat to the planet? The US pumped more oil than any country did ever in history during the outgoing administration.

Second offshore wind auction announced for 2025.
A new, second, offshore wind auction will be run in 2025. This is additional to the announcement last week that an auction for the Tonn Nua site, off the coast of Waterford, will take place early in 2025.

George Monbiot: “I’m not going to take lessons in climate from someone from Policy Exchange which is funded by the oil industry”
David Goodhart (Policy Exchange): “It isn’t”
GM: “I can demonstrate that it is”
DG: “Anyway, that’s not what we’re here to discuss”

Congratulations for spectacularly missing the point. You can write about who funds those groups because they disclose this information. But groups like Policy Exchange won't tell us. Only a few details have slipped out. All the most opaque thinktanks are rightwing.

Thanks for the kind comment ; only when we face the problem/s directly can we begin to frame appropriate responses.

If you fly to escape the British weather, be aware that flights make the weather worse for everyone else left behind – in real time, not just in the future.
Not what Spain needs right now.
