#Klimaschutz, #Kohle: Die #COP28 ruft (wie die COP 27) zur „Beschleunigung der Bemühungen um eine schrittweise #Abkehr von der nicht durch #CO₂-Abscheidung geminderten #Kohlekraft (#unabated coal)“ auf.

45/n #ClimateDiary Apologies, these past few days life and work escalated all at once; no time to read much beyond headlines about #COP28. And so much good coverage and (scathing) commentary everywhere I haven’t felt the inclination to “add my mustard”, as they say in Germany 😊. Including Guardian (⬆️), CarbonBrief of course; and on here @takvera and @Bentley
are doing great #COP28 🧵s.
So adding just a few (bit random) things here: this Bill McKibben post on #Unabated

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.

"First #ethical rule: If you see #fraud and do not say fraud, you are a fraud.” — Nassim Nicholas Taleb.
Well, the transfer of billions of dollars from ordinary #Canadians to #wealthy #oilCompanies continues #unabated .
The cost of the #obscenely #OverBudget #TransMountain #pipeline expansion, as #TheTyee #predicted last fall, has #increased again by a whopping 44 per cent from $21.4 billion to now $30.9 billion.
