proceedings with minutes of the questions, I guess so, transcripts detailed enough that you could turn them into a movie, I'm not sure... (but to be fair the transcript they worked from is quite exceptional, probably because it's congressional work : www.climatefiles.com/exxonmobil/1...)

As someone who reads transcripts of climate change conferences for a living, and finds their dramatic tension riveting, I am so incredibly psyched that one of them has been turned into a movie 💫 (litterally: it's all verbatim. which is wild & brilliant) www.filmlinc.org/nyff2026/fil...

Sous le Sol - en librairie à partir du 8 octobre (ce sera donc une avant-première 😀) www.premierparallele.fr/livre/sous-l...
Livre avec une couverture couleur Terre de Sienne brûlée : Sous le Sol - Dans les profondeurs d'une terre devenue décharge industrielle, de Lisa Claussmann, collection Carnets Parallèles également.Faute d'y descendre, nous ignorons pour la plupart qu'une vie parallèle se trame sous nos pieds, dans les tréfonds de la terre. Du sous-sol, on sait que des ressources en sont extraites ; on sait moins ce que l'on y enfouit désormais. C'est que les mines ne sont pas seulement le berceau des révolutions industrielles, elles sont aussi le réceptacle de ses produits dérivés, qu'il s'agisse de déchets industriels ou de CO2. 
Dans ce livre à la tonalité narrative, Lisa Claussmann explore d'anciennes mines reconverties en sites d’enfouissement de déchets industriels dangereux ou de stockage géologique de dioxyde de carbone industriel – des espaces difficiles d'accès, cachés à la vue. En nous racontant ce qui s’est passé ou se passe sous nos pieds – sous les villages dans lesquels nous aimons nous promener, sous les eaux dans lesquelles nous baignons, à proximité d’espaces protégés –, elle propose une autre histoire de la croissance et révèle un monde parallèle, au cœur des paradoxes de notre modernité écologique. Un monde tenu à distance qui fait du sous-sol le commencement et la fin du progrès industriel.

Manuel des Futurs Climatiques - en librairie depuis le 3 septembre www.premierparallele.fr/livre/manuel...
Un livre avec une couverture turquoise : Manuel des Futurs Climatiques - Rapports du GIEC, Trajectoires 1,5°C, Neutralité Carbone: dans la fabrique des scénarios de demain, de Béatrice Cointe, collection Carnets Parallèles« Trajectoires 1,5 °C », « scénarios du GIEC », « monde en 2050 » : s’il est un domaine où les futurs foisonnent, c’est bien celui du changement climatique. 
Comment sont fabriquées ces projections ? Et comment s’y repérer ? Pour répondre à ces questions, il faut entrer dans la machinerie qui permet de les produire. 
Ce livre donne des clés pour comprendre comment la communauté scientifique s’organise face au défi climatique. Il le fait depuis les coulisses, en suivant les tribulations de celles et ceux qui anticipent collectivement le monde de demain et en décrivant leurs outils, leurs lieux de rencontre, leurs questionnements, leurs désaccords et, parfois, leurs désarrois. Bref, en les remettant à une échelle humaine. 
Alors que le climat est chaque jour plus fragilisé par les assauts menés contre les infrastructures scientifiques et diplomatiques, ce petit livre permet de rappeler que tout n’est pas encore joué.

..even when cooperation is restricted to financing novel CDR with geological storage, we see roughly two-thirds of higher-responsibility regions' carbon debt is avoided through gross emission cuts. Each tonne via CDR+geo costs roughly ten times what it would through direct mitigation (excl. LULUCF).
Figure 4a and 4b from the paper, ECPC 2015 case under a 2 °C budget. a: cumulative change from the source scenario in net CO2, gross CO2, BECCS and DACCS for the World, higher-responsibility and lower-responsibility regions, comparing cooperation through transfers for any mitigation with transfers restricted to carbon removal. Restricting cooperation to removal deepens gross emission cuts in higher-responsibility regions. b: stacked bars showing how the higher-responsibility regions' carbon debt is cleared, by cooperation scope (all mitigation or removal only) and transfer level (unlimited or lowest-feasible). With transfers for any mitigation, transfers cover most of it; with transfers restricted to removal, roughly two-thirds is met by domestic emission reductions.

Other fair share studies also often split the problem in two: separating fairness in reductions from CDR. We show this dichotomy can be misleading. The cost-effective response to carbon debt is to avoid accruing it through immediate gross emission cuts, not to scale up removal later in the century..

From Mary Douglas to Barry Barnes to every single sociologist of knowledge worth anything, we know that scientific knowledge is conventional and grounded on *social*, collectve institutions. An LLM faffing around with bio papers is neither an institution, nor collective, nor conventional.

But then I wonder whether some CoIs are not inherent to the IPCC as an Intergovernmental organisation... which is why it is also important to stress that the IPCC is not a purely scientific organisation. (but of course I agree the IPCC should strive to limit CoI)

Moya's situation should have been disclosed and prompted scrutiny (so thank you, again!) but at the same time he was nominated by Saudi Arabia and this nomination is "fair play" by the functioning of the IPCC...

I agree there are some dodgy individual cases and I think you're doing a crucial job of scrutiny! What I mean is that I think the issue is unlikely to be solved through CoI policy enforcement because it boils down (imo) to powerplay between governments.

But on the other hand, why would Saudi Arabia's defending its interests through the means of scientific diplomacy be any less legitimate than when the US or EU do the same?

I think framing it as an issue of conflict of interests is misleading, because, well, it's politics, and the IPCC *is* political (and so it should be). But definitely important to draw attention to the weight of Saudi Arabia & fossil interest in AR7, because it's significant.
