Cooking with gas.

Well-oiled machine.

Burning the midnight oil.

Step on the gas.

Too many everyday expressions reek of fossil fuels. Help me come up with cleaner alternatives, please! I'm taking suggestions at Climate-Colored Goggles: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/watch-your...

Epic take-down of Roger Pielke Jr's appallingly shoddy academic "work", which he's used--as an attack dog of the Koch Brothers-funded think tank AEI--to discredit the case for climate action:

Kind of weird, I wrote this data before I knew how poor the I door conditions would be at COP30.

Frantically trying to re-bury carbon that formed over millions of years reminds me of cat scratching to cover its poop in the kitty litter. Good luck with that!

For all its virtue-signaling about transparency, the UNFCCC really keeps a tight lid on things. The transparency, like so many other aspects of the process, is performative, because we NEVER get to see the discussions that really matter at COP30 or any other COP.

COP30 "living room." I'd rather be in one of Belém's awesome street food zones.But seriously, the stress of getting something done at the last minute is one (of many) of the UNFCCC's deep structural flaws that prevents good results. insideclimatenews.org/news/1111202...

Wow, these COPs are becoming more like spring break for climate geeks every year. It’s like an and of the world party given the non-outcomes.
