Climate damages are "6X LARGER than previously thought", says new NBER working paper
– every 1C wipes out 12% of global GDP

🎉 VICTORY: Oil giant Total has had its lawsuit against Greenpeace France DISMISSED by a French court.
This WIN should be a WAKE UP CALL to Shell, ENI and other fossil fuel companies who are using vindictive lawsuits to try and silence anyone who holds them to account!

UPDATE: We’re in court against the UK Gov tomorrow w/@friends_earth & @GoodLawProject.
We took the Gov to court in 2022 and won. The Gov was ordered to produce a new plan, but we still think the new one is in breach of the Climate Change Act. So we’re back in court again.

A court in Norway, a major oil & gas producer, just invalidated multiple drilling permits on the grounds that climate impacts weren't fully considered. The same assessment process is at the heart of multiple cases in front of UK courts.

Having looked at a range of public opinion data - both quant/qual I’ve found nothing to convince me there is electoral benefit to Labour junking the green investment plan - the big risk instead is ditching it reinforces Starmer’s (very real) weakness he doesn’t stand for anything
