Climate litigation had a momentous year in 2023.

Courts worldwide heard evidence and arguments at pivotal trials and hearings. Landmark rulings marked progress in holding governments accountable.

With climate lawsuits now totaling nearly 2,500 worldwide, it is clear that courts have become a critical venue for seeking climate justice and accountability. #ClimateChange

Half of the world's 2,000 biggest listed companies have set a target to get to net-zero emissions by the middle of the century, but just a fraction meet tough United Nations guidelines for what constitutes a quality pledge, a report has shown. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2023/11/06/companies/un-climate-goals-companies/?utm_content=bufferb5d4a&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #business #companies #climatechange #emissions #environment


This is quite a shocking report in the news today on how climate and environmental scientists are restricted in communicating their science in the Australian public service.

Police detain climate activist Greta Thunberg at London protest

“The world is drowning in fossil fuels. Our hopes and dreams and lives are being washed away by a flood of greenwashing and lies,” Thunberg told reporters before she was detained. “It has been clear for decades that the fossil fuel industries were well aware of the consequences of their business models, and yet they have done nothing.”

“We cannot let this continue. The elite of the oil and money conference, they have no intention of transition,” she added. “We have no other option but to put our bodies outside this conference and to physically disrupt. And we have to do that every time, we have to continue showing them that they are not going to get away with this.”

I didn’t realise that Matilda was #australia’s answer to Greta but I do now. All these new laws to stifle protest that the state governments have introduced show the power of the fine hand of the fossil fuel lobby.

"More than 60,000 protesters gathered in the Swiss capital #Bern on Saturday demanding tougher policies to combat #ClimateChange, organisers said, less than a month ahead of a national election.

Such large protests are rare in #Switzerland and show growing public frustration with the pace of policy-making to combat #GlobalWarming despite ample evidence of its impact."

Developing countries have demanded new financial help from wealthy nations in their uphill fight against the climate crisis, during a summit in New York at which U.N.

Globally we produce A LOT of #energy, but did you know the majority of fossil energy gets wasted? In the US alone, two-thirds of that energy is *wasted* as heat.

As Hannah Ritchie has pointed out, we don’t actually need to produce a low carbon equivalent of all of the coal, oil & gas we currently use.

That means we can decarbonize quickly by being less wasteful & more efficient. #ClimateChange #science
Estimated U.S. Energy Consumption in 2021: 97.3 Quads

Of that, 65.4 is rejected & 38.1 is used.

"Trying to [fight] climate change through supply side actions against fossil fuels is largely futile. Halting new pipelines, cutting-up credit cards from banks that lend to the fossil fuel industry, and board shakeups at oil companies are actions more akin to religious incantation."

I wish I didn't have to tell you about this again, but I do. It's not being reported much in the news — and you know why?

Because it's not 'new' (the origin of the word 'news'), it's old. This has been going on for months now, and corporate news outlets are simply tired of reporting it. But it is still happening.

Canada's boreal forests are burning up.

At least 1100 fires are active, more than 700 out of control. Over 13 million hectares have been burned so far, with no end in sight. It's an unprecedented climate and environmental disaster.
