    "France will require all parking lots with spaces for at least 80 vehicles – both existing and new – to be covered by solar panels." That would add 10 nuclear reactors worth of solar. How much solar power would be generated if such a law passed in the US?

    2020: Microsoft sets goal to be carbon negative by end of the decade. 2023: Microsoft's emissions are 30% higher than in 2020. Main cause? The relentless push to meet AI demand, which requires carbon-intensive steel, cement, chips. Story with @dinabass: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

    I did not see this coming. "Saudi Aramco is being investigated by the United Nations for possible human rights violations tied to fossil-fuel induced climate change."

    Whoever thinks global warming capped at 1.5C or 2C is "saving" the planet hasn't really thought about what the word actually means.

    Sober up, energy transition nerds. “Consider what’s happening in Norway, where 65% of all vehicles sold in 2021 were electric and yet oil demand has fallen less than 10% since 2013.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

    “Over four years, we’ve found Cola-Cola to be the world’s top plastic polluter in our annual brand audits. It’s astounding that a company so tied to the fossil fuel industry is allowed to sponsor such a vital climate meeting.”

    LOL at all the publications falling for Exxon's net-zero goal, which covers only Scope 1 and 2 emissions and thus leaves out more than 80% of their total emissions. No Big Oil company's net zero plan is based on accepted science unless it also include Scope 3 emissions.

    This is amazing. If there is a deal, we could see 90 million tons of CO2 eq emissions cut annually. Or about 2x the capacity of all carbon-capture plants in the world. Scoop by @jendlouhyhc @aaronaclark1
