"There is already more than enough LNG export capacity to meet global demand for the fuel, if countries meet national and international climate goals."
Updated: This evening we will be competing #ForDanmark in the annual #CarbonBrief pub quiz, captained by the ever brilliant @kristianpagh (I retired this year after our best ever result last year).
If you are in Copenhagen and would like to join the team, especially if you have (specialist energy, policy, unfccc knowledge), then do shoot me a DM and I'll send details! #CBQuiz#CBQuiz23#DKGreen#DKklima#DKviden
»Factcheck: 21 misleading myths about electric vehicles«
Hopefully this will help make an end to the endless discussions whether EV’s are a good thing to the climate or the oposite (Hint: They’re a good thing)🌱♻️
#GoodNews
Auch wenn die Politik viel Kritik von der Klimabewegung erhält, muss auch anerkannt werden, dass es (langsam) in die richtige Richtung geht, und zwar "nach unten" mit den Emissionen. 📉
Wir sind noch weit weg von den Versprechen (rote Linie, "Pledges in 2023"), aber - trotz aller globalen Schwierigkeiten - nähern wir uns denen jedes Jahr (dunkelblaue Linie "Policy 2023"). 👍

#ClimateDiary There is no question that #COP28 will be the most important yet. The #GlobalStocktake will be the “biggest accountability moment in history”, and on its basis leaders will need to make crucial key decisions about fiscal and policy commitments. With less than two months to go, we need to all be as well informed as possible and put pressure on leaders as much as we can. I thought I would start a 🧵that I will keep going in the run up 1/n
20/n Anyway sceptics were probably right: this year’s #GlobalStocktake synthesis report has shown that, so far, the ratchet hasn’t worked well enough; all governments, all NDCs are falling abysmally short of what’s needed.
#ClimateDiary#COP28 🧵 (no insider knowledge, just trying to stay informed and thought I might share a few things)
25/n So, on phasing out of #fossilfuels: it is obvious that a) many countries/parties are refusing to commit to the complete phasing out of fossil fuels countries, and b) there is, as always, a whole forest of terms and clauses to come to grips with, obfuscating things. You can see this from this overview of positions of by #CarbonBrief:
Global #CarbonEmissions from electric power may peak this year, report says
"A new report on global #electricity generation found that the growth of #renewables was so rapid that it was close to the incredibly fast rate required if the world is to hit the tripling of capacity by the end of the decade that experts believe is necessary to stay on the 1.5C pathway."
"The report shows that global electricity #demand growth and the expansion of low-carbon #supplies remain delicately balanced, with ongoing droughts putting a question mark over Ember’s earlier prediction of a decline in fossil-fueled power in 2023."
➡️ Are you skilled at handling data?
➡️ Can you interrogate and evaluate information?
➡️ Do you want to contribute to accurate reporting of #climatechange and energy?
Remember how the June 2023 UN climate conference in Bonn, ahead of #COP28 started by negotiators failing to agree even on the starting agenda for the talks until the day before the two-week session was due to close?
Sobering, perplexing, frustrating, but this reflects well on the current status of the global political strategy to tackle #climatecrisis
#CarbonBrief summarized key outcomes of these climate negotiations 👇
"The International Maritime Organization, the UN division that governs global #shipping, will meet in London today for a fortnight of talks on #decarbonising and the potential for a new levy of up to $100 (£78) a tonne of carbon produced by ships.
Research published on Monday found that #CO2 from shipping could be cut by between a third and a half this decade by using already available techniques and embarking on innovative technology such as hydrogen."
"In this article, #CarbonBrief explains the key sticking points at the #IMO talks and what nations ultimately agreed on #emissions targets, levies and fuel standards."
