Are we making the kind of sweeping emissions cuts that science says is needed to secure a liveable planet for future generations?
No.
But are we at least *reducing* emissions?
Also no.

Under Biden the US became the biggest petrostate in history. I'm not saying Trump won't be bad for the climate, but can we stop pretending the US has ever been good? x.com/Peters_Glen/status/185ā¦

"Drill baby drill"
Just remember Trump is only saying the quiet part out loud. The US has been drilling baby drilling its way to the world's top oil producer via several Presidents...

On the eve of #COP29, we have one message for policymakers gathering in Baku: It's time to STOP the #CarbonMarkets shenanigans.

My Sunday sermon: Every single article referencing Musk fails its public interest test if it doesnāt mention how Tesla is most subsidised company in history and how the āself-madeā billionaire is allowed to pay capitalism with the training wheels still on

Anyone still reluctant to call what Israel is doing in Gaza genocide, can I ask that you look at the breakdown of age and gender of its victims and give me an alternative word or phrase that accurately describes this?

Every year I help to classify and count the number of fossil fuel lobbyists there are at COP. Every year we find 100s if not 1000s
In every follow up interview Iām asked: Why is their presence automatically bad? Donāt they need to contribute?
So this is me tapping the signš

In nearly every interview I ever do around COPs, the journalist asks: "But why is it bad to have petrostates host climate talks"
I, I don't know. Maybe some version of this: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crmzā¦

And thatās without even mentioning the $29bn in military aid the US has send Israel during its extermination of Palestinians
This. What this chart shows should be hugely important in all analyses of this election.
The economic story of the past four years is not just about the relationship between wages and prices.
It's about money that brought people out of poverty being taken away.

I donāt think Harris lost because of Gaza, but I do think it was politically (never mind morally) incoherent of her campaign not to do what is any candidateās main job: maximise their chances of winning

And the worst part is that the Democratic establishment simply cannot bring themselves to imagine that more people like what Trump is selling than their same old nonsense, a kind of late-stage neoliberalism where the only value they recognise is campaign cash

Bernie is absolutely right. The far right is winning because Democrats wonāt change. People are hurting & theyāre tired of broken promises, watered-down policies, and empty rhetoric while their communities suffer. Trump was handed this election by a feckless immobile elite.

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.
While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.
And theyāre right.
