Unless we consider a number of other factors — permanence, albedo, co-emitted GHGs, asymmetry — balancing CO₂ emissions with removals (net zero) will not achieve the intended climate goal.

THREAD: With all the talk #cop28 centring on #fossilfuelphaseout or not – abated, unabated, etc – what actually is the logical role of CCS in the energy transition?

This is appalling.
The recolonization of Africa through carbon markets is underway.
Company from UAE, COP28 host & major fossil fuel producer, buying up 10% of Liberia so it can continue to pollute.

MAJOR UPDATE: All planetary boundaries are assessed, and six are crossed.
For the first time ever, scientists have quantified all nine planetary boundaries. Six of them are already transgressed and we are increasing pressure on the others.

1/n Pre-print: proposal and demonstration of a new modeling framework. A departure from the IAM-SSP framework. Quantitative assessments for climate-compatible futures are possible without assuming that these can and/or will only be modeled using IAMs osf.io/ge92t

Our paper is now published! rdcu.be/ddY4P Here's a 🧵on the problem of estimating agent-level latent variables, why it's important for quantitative and data-driven agent-based models, and what solution we propose. (1/11) ⬇️
Agent-Based Models have hard time to track and forecast empirical time series because many ABM variables are latent. In our new paper, we show how to learn latent variables from data by modifying a housing market ABM & making it learnable🏡🤖 arxiv.org/abs/2205.05052

Il Ministro dell'Ambiente non sa ancora se l'#EmergenzaClimatica sia dovuta all'uomo.
Non possiamo permetterci un governo negazionista nel mezzo di una #CrisiClimatica che è diventata #EmergenzaSociale.
Dobbiamo costringere il governo ad agire.
Unisciti ad #ExtinctionRebellion.

The Global Warming Potential (GWP100) of hydrogen is estimate to be 11.6 ± 2.8 (one standard deviation).
Hydrogen is not a direct GHG, but its chemical reactions change the abundances of the methane, ozone, stratospheric water vapor, & aerosols.

NEW: In @ScienceMagazine today, our latest peer-reviewed research shows Exxon scientists predicted global warming with shocking skill & accuracy between 1977 & 2003, contradicting the company's decades of climate denial. THREAD.

It is often said that if you want to know who has influence in Washington follow the money 💰💰💰
In our latest research in @ClimaticChange_ @RBrulle
and I did just that by looking at trade association spending
Total spending was in the billions, but that's not all we found 🧵

The UN said a couple of weeks ago staying below 1.5 degrees is now impossible unless we see "a radical transformation of society". So all the papers ran with headlines like this. None ran with "how about we have a radical transformation of society?" Sounds far preferable to me..

Hey #COP27 👋
About that remaining 1.5C carbon budget…
…yeah it's even smaller than we thought
