Really? Is that it? If this is all that’s come from COBR, it’s pitifully inadequate.

Took a train through Canary Wharf last night, a weird, soulless dystopia where some of our brightest people do total bullshit jobs. The revolution we need would go into these firms and say “From now on, all your efforts go into making sure everyone has a decent life without fucking the climate”.

Hi @andyburnham.bsky.social, are you aware of this paper which is the best attempt to quantify how many tonnes of carbon emissions equate to one premature human death?
Using the fossil fuel companies' estimates of Jackdaw and Rosebank's emissions, these facilities would kill around 60,000 people. 🧵

The arguments trotted out against leaving fossil fuels in the ground are strikingly similar to the arguments trotted out against ending the slave trade, 230 years ago.
