Once more, we hear about a world without climate breakdown in it - which essentially means any discussion about where we are today, and where we are headed, is nothing more than errant nonsense

“We are now at a critical juncture. We are at or very close to human caused environmental change that will fundamentally unpick the life-sustaining systems on Earth.” ⬇️
"Warming is going to exceed 1.5°C. We are heading into “overshoot” within the next few years. The world is going to become more turbulent and more dangerous. So, what comes after failure?" Some thoughts from Johan Rockstrom & me 10 years after Paris Agreement.

The world lost the climate gamble. Now it faces a dangerous new reality
The world bet on collective but voluntary action to keep global warming at a safe level.

But I massively resent being told the responsibility lies with me on the day a giant oil company issues a massive fuck you to all of us

Hard agree with all of this. Rory Stewart's latest take on climate action had a blatant error or deeply flawed argument in pretty much every line. It was wafer thin analysis all presented with absolutely unerring confidence.
More poorly informed takes on climate from The Rest Is Politics as they assess COP29.
Rory Stewart says climate finance for developing countries is "completely the wrong way" to "stop global warming".
Instead G20 should have met for a couple more days to "crack this".
A few problems with this...
