This is important to watch. The always-courageous Rep. @RashidaTlaib eviscerates a befuddled @Chevron CEO Wirth: You are responsible for $50b in oil pollution damages in Ecuador and 31 countries around the world. "Time to cut the check, Mike."

The richest 10% produce about half of greenhouse gas emissions. They should pay to fix the climate...

This is not simply a rich versus poor countries divide: there are huge emitters in poor countries, and low emitters in rich countries

We worked with the @nytclimate team who used our data to show how far we've come on climate action. The answer? Not far enough but there has been SOME improvement. We will release new data on 9 November at #COP26Glasgow nytimes.com/interactive/2021…

Meanwhile the people in power call themselves "climate leaders" as they open up new oilfields, pipelines and coal power plants - granting new oil licenses exploring future oil drilling sites. This is the world they are leaving for us.
