🔹 What is #climatechange?
🔹 What is climate change mitigation?
🔹 How do we reduce remissions?
📹 #IPCC WGIII's Senior Scientist @DrAlaaClimate answered these questions for us at #COP27.

I've been privileged over the years to write a sequence energy modelling methodology papers with (now Professor) Steve Pye of UCL, along with a rotating cast of amazing people. The latest dropped today in @NatureEnergyJnl ➡️ rdcu.be/e2tt6
This is fundamentally incorrect. To varying levels of commercialization we know how to do all industrial processes with electricity directly or indirectly with hydrogen. With a high level of certainty we can reduce all industry GHGs to near zero with electricity, H2 & CCUS.
Honeywell CEO: Renewables replacing fossil fuels is physically impossible
- Energy mix doesn’t matter
- Energy intensity matters
- Renewables can’t produce energy-intensive products
In other words, the push for renewables is a push for deindustrialization of energy-intensive industry.
Do climate conferences actually achieve anything? A lot of people have strong opinions, but we wanted measurements, so we look at how the stock market moves during yearly international meetings called COPs – explanation below, or read the paper here: iopscience.iop.org/article/1…
📢 Read a new #DIAMOND publication on the role of #AI in climate change scientific assessments!
🔝Our colleague @DrAlaaClimate explores how AI tools can help manage scientific literature and improve climate science communication - including the #IPCC reports.
New OA paper “Defining ‘abated’ fossil fuel & industrial process emissions" in Energy & Climate Change. We provide 4 criteria: 1) Max fugitive methane, 2) Min capture rate, 3) Storage Permanence, 4) CDR for the residual 🧵@DrAlaaClimate@ColumbiaUEnergydoi.org/10.1016/j.egycc.2025…
Our new paper updating key metrics in the IPCC is now out, and the news is grim:
⬆️ Human induced warming now at 1.36C
⬆️ Rate of warming now 0.27C / decade
⬆️ Sharp increase in Earth's energy imbalance
⬇️ Remaining 1.5C carbon budget only 130 GtCO2
Can deep learning 🤖️generate climate mitigation scenarios 🌍 like IAMs?
We show yes!Our DL-based generative model produces 30,000 IPCC-aligned synthetic scenarios in seconds — matching key energy and emissions patterns.

Just when you thought the Tories could stoop no lower.
They’re going to vote to block our plans to protect vulnerable children — all for a cheap headline.
Sickening. They are unfit to govern.
We are looking for expert reviewers for our upcoming UN Environment Programme Global Environment Outlook @UNEP (#GEO7) Report, scheduled for release in late 2025. The report addresses the challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, air pollution and land degradation.
