Stellar journalism from @amywestervelt & @ben_stockton on the PR machinery behind Al Jaber’s COP28 presidency
theintercept.com
Sultan Al Jaber, CEO of the UAE’s national oil company, mobilized a PR army to make the case that the petrostate is serious about climate.

I genuinely gasped!.
Here is fossil fuel companies' new defense in lawsuits accusing them of deceiving the public about climate change:. They perpetrated no deception, they say, because the "alleged impact of fossil fuel use on the global climate has been ‘open and obvious’ for decades.". 1/n

Interesting on tillage vs dairy. Support of Irish dairy sector has pushed crop farming aside & left it struggling, while some 50m tonnes of emissions heavy animal feed – largely maize & soya – have been *imported* to Ireland since 2012 to feed dairy
thejournal.ie
Noteworthy analysis shows 50 million tonnes imported in the last decade as our tillage industry falters from lack of State support.

Interesting thread about Irish fossil fuel lobbyists (described in the RTE piece as experts in home heating) using dodgy data to push hydrotreated veg oil over heat pumps.
Some seriously problematic reporting on oil industry lobbying for biofuels here:.

While the EU has updated its “species of concern” list to include the red fire ant, the British government has not updated its list since Brexit despite calls from experts concerned about new invasive species.

The how-on-earth is probably partly to do with it employing Tory MPs who get to interview Tory MPs about Tory policies. Net-trust score (total that trust news outlet and those that don’t trust it) is +4 for Tory MPs compared to -15 among public polled by YouGov in May.
Really not surprised that the FT is the most trusted news brand among MPs - it's a fantastic newspaper - and the Daily Mail is the least trusted. But how on earth can 24% of MPs think that GB News is "trustworthy"?!. Via @CharlotteTobitt & @pressgazette .

I know this is a drop in the ocean, and I know the problem needs to be stopped at source etc, but still, this is undeniably satisfying to watch.
Here’s the footage of extraction no. 78 and possibly the last extraction with System 002/C, as the crew is carefully taking the final steps to complete the transition to System 03, our biggest system yet.

AI has some cool applications for improving efficiencies and this is one. But we know tech tweaks are prone to rebound effects, plus AI has its own carbon footprint, plus is tech beating degrowth a self fulfilling prophecy because all hopes are on tech-fixes when we need both 🤷♀️.
Amazing: Google partnered with American Airlines, used AI to tweak flight paths to reduce contrails. The results are in, and if scaled up this could immediately reduce aviation's global warming impact by almost 20%. Technology just keeps beating degrowth!

EU has makings of a green industrial strategy (Net Zero Industry Act) but it still lacks a clear pathway for delivering the workforce that is actually going to install the solar panels, build the wind turbines and maintain the green-hydrogen grid. That’s no minor detail!.
Europe needs to reach vital net-zero climate goals. But it's missing one thing — a workforce.

I just printed something directly from my phone and I feel such a sense of technological achievement that I may as well be a rocket scientist from the year 2300.

A handy ‘what you need to know’ about the Amazon summit. Debate over drilling for oil near mouth of the Amazon River is one to watch, which has sparked infighting in Lula’s government.
