Didn’t expect to be invited to Congress to testify as an expert witness about Big Oil’s climate deceit only for a Senator to ask me if I'd call him a “sick f*ck” based on a Tweet I’d never seen. Thanks to HEATED's @emorwee for setting the record straight:heated.world/p/gop-senator-…
Just 6 companies dump 25% of global plastic pollution 1 Coca-Cola 11% 2 PepsiCo 5% 3 Nestle 3% 4 Danone 3% 5 Altria 2% 6 Philip Morris 2% And just 56 companies dump more than 50% of global plastic, polluting at will with no consequences THREAD science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Thank you to @SenateBudget for inviting me to testify as an expert witness in Congress on Wednesday, and especially for exposing thousands of new documents showing that Big Oil's climate promises continue to be full of hot air. ICYMI, here are my opening and closing remarks. 1/n
Carbon producers have substantial responsibility for the time- and capital-crunch were facing, as well as the required capital, knowledge, and moral obligation to pay commensurate costs of CDR. Not just taxpayers and govts.

If you think that the world can keep below 1.5C, then you have some explaining to do... If you are advocating for 1.5C with overshoot, then you also need to explain yourself & your plan for large-scale CDR! See also @Oliver_Geden here: x.com/peters_glen/st… 3/3

@RogerHallamCS21 This is an excellent example of junk science that destroys the credibility of climate scientists. This study is based on a simulation that uses 80x more freshwater entering the Atlantic than the melting of the Laurentide Ice Sheet did. And it requires 2500 years of it.
This headline is a distortion. The fusion reaction only matched — for an instant — the *laser* energy coming in, not the electrical energy used to power the whole system, which was >100x larger. This is not an energy breakthrough. It’s a weapons lab looking for PR and funding.

In scenarios that "limit warming to 1.5°C (>50%) with no or limited overshoot", to use IPCC speak, most scenarios go over 1.5°C and return later... These scenarios also have radical emission reductions starting in 2020 & large-scale use of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR). 1/

Now, if global CO2 were reduced by 90%, that would leave roughly 4 gt/yr to remove—a massive challenge! To acknowledge this challenge, if u need to talk about emissions, you should avoid the verb “reduce” & use the phrases “virtually eliminate” or “essentially eliminate” instead.
Even if you don't agree with where he lands, it's worth reading @ezraklein's Biden piece, especially since a LOT of Democrats share his exact concern: yes, Biden's a good man, has been a great president, and isn't too old for the job. But because he looks and sounds so much older…

Last year, the richest 0.05%, those who own at least $100 million in wealth, made a combined profit of $8.5 trillion on their investments that will go untaxed. Meanwhile, 63% of Americans do not have $500 in the bank to pay for an emergency healthcare bill. We need a wealth tax.
@brianbeutler And so here we are, all of us, talking about what the right wants us to talk about, actively doing its bidding, actively helping it destroy higher education & smear black scholarship & distract from its institutional antisemitism. We are all Rufo's bitches.
With 2023 in the bag (all bar the counting), what do 2024 temperatures look like? I predict a slight likelihood (55%) of another record year because of the ongoing El Niño event. But given the exceptional nature of 2023 (more on that later), perhaps less confidence is warranted?
But there are more of us than them. They must be defeated. And they can be defeated. With massive voter turnout in 2024 aimed at one thing: defeating the Trump-supporting, Putin-apologist @GOP and those who support them.
