by The Canary @thecanaryuk
“‘You work for billionaires!’ one shouted at Farage, referencing recent donations from property tycoon Nick Candy. Another called him out for being ‘paid by the super-rich to scapegoat migrants’.”

"political “pragmatism” is a dangerous form of climate delay. By framing urgent action as “extreme” & steady-as-she-goes policies as “pragmatic”, leaders are protecting the #FossilFuel #StatusQuo when we need rapid, transformative #change."

"Patrick Tiernan, who took over as CEO from John Neal in June, said the corporation would no longer discourage insurers operating in the market from underwriting #coal & other #fossilfuel projects." That is NOT an "apolitical" stance - it's a #political one, supporting the fossil fuel industry, & #fossilfuels, to the detriment of the #climate, from a man who warns "of growing threats from an acceleration of extreme #weather events."

A prudent planetary limit for geologic carbon storage
Geologically storing #carbon is a key strategy for abating #emissions from #FossilFuel's and durably removing #CarbonDioxide (#CO2) from the #atmosphere. However, the storage potential is not unlimited. Here we establish a prudent planetary limit of around 1,460 (1,290–2,710) Gt of CO2 storage through a risk-based, spatially explicit analysis of #CarbonStorage in sedimentary basins. We show that only stringent near-term gross emissions reductions can lower the risk of breaching this limit before the year 2200. Fully using geologic storage for carbon removal caps the possible global temperature reduction to 0.7 °C (0.35–1.2 °C, including storage estimate and climate response uncertainty).

@anna_lillith And very nice, too. Global #investment in #fossilfuel #production, meanwhile, came to $1.148 trillion, according to the #IEA (https://www.iea.org/reports/world-energy-investment-2025/executive-summary). See this, meanwhile, on global fossil fuel #subsidies: https://www.imf.org/en/Topics/climate-change/energy-subsidies#top.

A vote for the #Tories - or #ReformUK - at the next General Election will be a vote against the #climate, @GeraldKutney, & in favour of the #fossilfuel #industry. It will be a vote for more #airpollution & more damage to the #environment & #publichealth. It will be a vote for #profits over #people & the #planet.

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
"Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.
Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces."
