Peru’s latest #NDC marks a step backwards on ambition. The country submitted a conditional NDC target for 2035 at the same emissions level as its 2030 target, which was already not aligned with 1.5°C, in either 2030 or 2035. 🚨 A clear lack of progression. climateactiontracker.org/countries/pe...

The imperative to counter fossil fuel industry disinformation for public health

Disinformation is not just a climate problem. It's a public health one.

New piece from @gchalliance.bsky.social shows how misleading narratives delay climate action and put lives at risk, from heat illness to worsening air quality.

Invisible plumes and ‘terrible pollution’: the reality of the US gas sites rated ‘grade A’ Exclusive: Guardian investigation into reliability of methane certification issued by MiQ reveals weakness of voluntary model

So many important reasons for ending the fossil fuel era remain unexplained and under-repeated. A clean energy economy will create dramatically better health, greater prosperity, and a vastly more secure world that the hopelessly outdated fossil fuel economy.

The additional cost of ONE fossil fuel price spike on the scale of 2022 = the ENTIRE COST of Net Zero by 2050. We get precisely nothing in return for the first cost, and a whole new, more secure and cheaper energy system from the second one.
