Climate crisis made spate of Canada wildfires twice as likely, scientists find: Burning of fossil fuels made fires at least twice as likely, and the fire-prone weather at least 20% more intense, study shows #COP28 #COP28UAE https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/22/climate-change-canada-wildfires-twice-as-likely

Who are the real 'doomers'? The #G20 for a start. This failure is both 'denialism' and 'doomerism'. Their inaction potentially dooms us to a >2°C world of catastrophe. #COP28 #COP28UAE https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/22/g20-countries-fail-to-reach-agreement-on-cutting-fossil-fuels

Climate-related civilisational breakdown has many interacting causes. It will affect different regions, societies, cultures, economies and political systems differently, at different rates and with different sets of 'tipping' points of no return. #ClimateEmergency #COP28 #COP28UAE https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jul/21/climate-crisis-cost-of-living-energy-water-california

COP28 President Sultan Al Jaber's company plans to produce oil and gas that when burned for energy will emit more than 11 billion tonnes of CO2 - not far short of China's annual emissions - a Global Witness analysis of industry production data shows. #ADNOC #DrSultanAlJaber #COP28 #COP28UAE #ClimateEmergency https://www.globalwitness.org/en/press-releases/cop28-presidents-oil-company-emissions-by-2050-to-rival-china/

Oil giant led by #COP28 boss ‘to emit close to China’s annual emissions by 2050’

The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company is on course to emit more than 11 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases in the next 25 years. #ADNOC #COP28UAE #DrSultanAlJaber #ClimateEmergency #Greenwashing https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/china-cop28-john-kerry-scope-cops-b2375877.html

#COP28 team marshals #oilandgas industry alliance ahead of #climate summit

Goals outlined in initiating letter do not address most damaging #emissions

A new alliance of the oil and gas sector is being marshalled by the #COP28UAE team behind the UN climate summit in the #UnitedArabEmirates, but early outlines of its goals aimed at tackling #globalwarming do not include the bulk of emissions that arise from the use of #fossilfuels. https://www.ft.com/content/0d8b8b3e-7f5c-4e0b-8766-834cf01ca876

Der heute beginnende #PetersbergerKlimadialog dient der Vorbereitung für die #COP28UAE. Wir empfehlen erneut das SWP-Aktuell von @Oliver_Geden @SWP_Europe und @hansen_gerrit über die Bedeutung des IPCC-Synthesebericht für die Konferenz in Dubai. https://bit.ly/SWP23A28

Both German Foreign Minister @ABaerbock and incoming COP President @COP28_UAE Al Jaber today expressed the need for renewable energy to triple by 2030 - will this become an agreed goal at #COP28UAE? #PetersbergClimateDialogue #Petersberg2023

“This is an unusual pattern. This is an extreme event at a global scale": doesn't fit with just an El Nino - a "huge signal" that system is moving rapidly out of equilibrium. Scientists grappling to understand why this is happening so fast.

Most important is the last paragraph in which #OPEC basically calls "for more of this precious commodity to fuel global economic growth and prosperity in the decades to come". No regard for #ClimateChange whatsoever! #ClimateEmergency #COP28 #COP28UAE #Oil #Emissions

OPEC and OPEC+, which includes Russia, de facto declare war on the #IEA (International Energy Agency), #Climate, #RenewableEnergy, #IPCC, #UN #COP28 #COP28UAE (#UAE is a leading #OPEC member) and essentially global collective security, peace and survival (see below). #ClimateWar #ClimateEmergency

#JohnKerry #ClimateEnvoy can't have it both ways: we either comprehensively and urgently phase-out fossil fuels or we don't. It applies as much to the #UnitedStates as it does to the #UAE, #SaudiArabia, #UK and everyone else. #COP28 #COP28UAE

And if we don't, we're likely going to use up the remaining global carbon budget sometime in the next 2 to 9 years. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/apr/25/john-kerry-relying-technology-remove-carbon-dioxide-dangerous

Next week (2-3 May) the Petersberg Climate Dialogue gathers world leaders and climate ministers to lay the groundwork for a successful #COP28UAE and increase the chances of increased climate action. This Friday we'll publish what we expect to happen at #PCB14 #2023PCB

"What is clear: Adnoc’s emissions are going to rise in the short term. It plans a 25% increase in oil production capacity, to 5 million barrels a day by 2027."

Sultan Al Jaber was selected to lead #COP28UAE — the most important climate summit. He also runs the oil and gas behemoth @ADNOCGroup. 💰🛢️ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2023-04-03/uae-s-top-oil-executive-has-a-plan-to-fix-cop28

7 mois avant le début des pourparlers, la #COP28 prend déjà l’eau 🌊
Présidé par Sultan Al Jaber, ministre de l'Industrie des Emirats arabes unis et... patron de la compagnie pétrolière nationale ADNOC, la #COP28UAE devrait se tenir Dubaï en décembre 2023.
