26/n Two somewhat confusing terms that seems to be used a lot this year are #Abated and #Unabated #FossilFuels. What does this mean?

On the face of it, "Unabated" is when fossil fuels are burnt and the emissions end up in the air, just like that. "Abating", or reducing, those emissions would require restrictions such as technologies to capture and bury #CO2 etc. However, in practice these terms are very ambiguous and unhelpful, helping #ClimateDelay parties.
