This is a thread about what we could see that our critics could not. 🧵

Remote islands and villages dependent on oil/diesel for electricity generation can eliminate CO2 emissions and save money with a net-zero electricity system built on wind and solar with storage.

Two former Department of Energy staffers warn we’re doing carbon removal all wrong
Sucking down greenhouse gas to cancel out corporate emissions may come at the expense of more pressing public needs.

OPEC’s letter conveys an old message with a new tone. It says “they are coming for us -- for real now”. Bad news for COP28, though few had high expectations.
But NB: in a sense the letter confirms that the energy transition has never had more momentum. So gotta keep the moment going.

Contrary to some popular narratives, our results suggest that impactful individual behavior change need not preclude support for ambitious climate policies.
Individual climate action may, in fact, go hand-in-hand with calling for and enacting systemic changes.

What is life in 21st century but the constant reminder that we are in the twilight of our existence and we’re taking all the beauty of our planet with us?
At least 125 Amazon river dolphin carcasses have been found after temperatures in Lake Tefé, Brazil, reached 102 degrees Fahrenheit, or about 39.1 degrees Celsius. One expert described the high temperature, the only known cause of their death, as a “soup.”
A Lake Turned to a Hot ‘Soup.’ Then the River Dolphins Died.
