Global fossil fuel emissions set to fall in 2026, but total CO2 keeps rising

Global fossil fuel emissions are projected to fall in 2026 as renewable energy and electric vehicles gain ground, but rising emissions from deforestation threaten to push total CO2 emissions to a new record. Scientists warn that the world's remaining carbon budget for limiting warming to 1.5°C could be exhausted in less than four years, even as a lasting decline in emissions appears increasingly within reach.

How fossil fuel lobby is undermining democracy - 360

Corporate lobbying, political donations and manufactured public support are helping fossil fuel corporations obstruct climate action in Australia. The key to overcoming the influence of polluters lies in understanding who shapes climate policy, and how. Australia, like many nations around the world, has failed to implement climate policies that are consistent with the dire warnings […]

It’s quite something that #Burnham ‘s #Labour party seems to be less in favour of financially supporting the electorate in reducing their carbon emissions than #Sunak ‘s #Tories which scrapped VAT on retrofit measures such as #SolarPanels and #Heatpumps The evidence mounts by the day that this government is captured by the #FossilFuel lobby. If it scares you, boost and vote #Green

Replying to
@ChrisMayLA6@mastodon.me.uk This is what happens in terms of #BigOil companies who use Investor State Dispute System (ISDS) to sue governments for environmental legislation that they deem as lost opportunities to make money. As a result of these secretive tribunals #fossilfuel companies have been paid over US$87 billion (£64 billion) by countries since 1998. Who’s to say thst something very similar is not happening with #AI #DataCentres ?

#FossilFuel burning ships carrying fossil fuels need to burn a lot more fossil fuels because a canal dried up by the burning of fossil fuels is in the way of those fossil fuels getting to where they will be burned. Okay then. "Liquefied natural gas shippers increasingly are opting to travel up to two weeks longer and almost 6,000 nautical miles further to bypass the #PanamaCanal as transporters of other fuel pay nearly $4 million to jump the long queue." #LNG

Countries most vulnerable to fossil fuel phaseout generate just 6% of global output, climate analysis finds

Countries highly vulnerable to the phase-out of oil, gas and coal account for just 6% of global economic output, countries in Africa stand to benefit from their vast solar energy potential, and the economic interests of the U.S., Europe and China are affected by climate policy in surprisingly similar ways. A study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) published in Nature Sustainability now shows, for 169 countries around the world, how the fight against global heating affect
