Climate science, impacts, policy and 1.5C
- What fossil fuel companies paid to Australia’s political parties in 2025 federal election and what they seem have gotten in return. cheekmedia.substack.com/p/dirty-data...
- A commentary in @nature.com argues the 1.5°C temperature limit has “outlived its usefulness” because we’re headed towards overshoot and should be replaced by a “clean-energy shift” metric. That’s the wrong diagnosis. Here is why. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
- First: yes, we’re heading into overshoot @wmo-global.bsky.social 1.5°C in the next 5 years. This is not a geophysical accident. It is the result of policy failure. Now what's needed is action to limit the magnitude and duration of overshoot to drive temperatures back down. wmo.int/news/media-c...
- Extreme heat is blasting eastern Australia. It’s driven by fossil fuels, development of which the Albanese government continues to support. The Guardian Australia’s climate/environment journalist calls it out @adammorton.bsky.social @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/environment/...
- It's difficult to fathom what the WA Envtl "Protection" Agency doesn’t understand abt the climate problem. Wilfully & deliberately authorising a massive gas development in this pristine environment must only be viewed as institutionalised climate denial. reneweconomy.com.au/massive-new-...

- Reposted by Bill HareAs COP30 comes to a close, read the statement from CA CEO @billhare.bsky.social. This COP did not deliver the bold fossil fuel phaseout roadmap needed, but it did nudge other goals forward. National leaders must now close the gap between promises and reality. climateanalytics.org/press-releas...
- Reposted by Bill HareREPORT: If governments were to implement the promises they made in 2023, to triple renewables, double energy efficiency, reduce methane by 2030 & beyond, they could ✅ significantly cut projected warming - by 0.9˚C ✅ cut warming rate by a third by 2035 and halve it by 2040 🔗 bit.ly/CAT_COP30_GST

- Reposted by Bill HareWhere to start, with a statement like this? "Tim Ayres said the cuts were aimed at refocusing … CSIRO towards research priorities, such as critical minerals, iron & steel production in Australia." From some rando down the bus stop, one would brush it off. But this is from our Science Minister 🤯

- IPCC input into Paris Agreement 2nd Global Stocktake, due in 2028, is under threat. This is critical. The IPCC input to first Stocktake was vital to call to transition away from fossil fuels, tripling renewables, reductions in methane and deforestation. climateanalytics.org/comment/ipcc...
- There is increasing evidence that the Albanese government proposed changes to Australia’s in environmental assessment legislation could go backwards rather than forwards, in terms of environment, biodiversity and climate protection. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
- Reposted by Bill HareNew research out today demonstrates that reaching #realzero is achievable and economically competitive in many major emitting sectors. EU road freight could reach real zero by 2040, while global steel and shipping could reach real zero by 2050. climateanalytics.org/publications...

- Reposted by Bill HareOkay, yes, humanity did not enact the single best possible outcome in response to the single worst problem we have ever faced as a species In no way was it wrong to try, and in no way is it wrong to continue trying to jam a wrench in the greedy fossil fuel economy. Everything is still on the table

- Yesterday, the UN SG António Guterres said the world has failed to prevent overshoot of 1.5°C of warming, the Paris Agreement limit. This is a massive political failure. Urgent action is needed now to limit the magnitude and duration of overshoot. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

- Australia is one of the world’s top fossil fuel producers and exporters and is pushing more fossil fuel development. The ICJ advisory opinion on climate change should cause politician and decision makers to stop new fossil fuel developments immediately. reneweconomy.com.au/australia-on...
- The International Court of Justice's advisory opinion on climate change, released yesterday, has massive implications for government action on climate. It's an incredibly strong and, I believe, historically important judicial opinion. www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-d...
