What connects Elon Musk, the floods in Nepal, and an AI data center in Memphis? My friend, @billmckibben.bsky.social, who has helped me see patterns for a long time, threads it all together.

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

Speakers discussed the deep colonial roots of contemporary instances of impunity, such as the genocide in Palestine, the invasion of Ukraine, the penal system, and the subjugation of Indigenous peoples.

Centre for Climate Justice @ccj-ubc.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

Presentations underscored that impunity is a functional feature of colonial legal systems, and has repeatedly worked to protect the status quo and maintain power imbalance.

The 2025 Land Gap report was co-authored by CCJ executive committee member Dr. Jessica Dempsey. Read the full report here: landgap.org

010

Centre for Climate Justice @ccj-ubc.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

The report details the tax, trade, debt, and regulatory systems that lock countries into cycles of extraction. To make meaningful change, these systems have to be addressed.

Centre for Climate Justice @ccj-ubc.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

Countries have set targets to halt #deforestation by 2030; actual plans do not reflect this goal. Under current plans, there is a marginal decline in current deforestation, leaving a #ForestGap of 20 million hectares per year.

120

Centre for Climate Justice @ccj-ubc.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

Most of the land pledged rests with a few large, high-emitting countries. If they fall short on meeting targets, the actual area achieved is considerably smaller. An over-reliance on land-based carbon removal distracts from the necessary goal of a fossil fuel phaseout and ecosystem protection.

100

Centre for Climate Justice @ccj-ubc.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

A new #LandGap report shows that land pledged by countries for carbon removal exceeds 1 billion hectares; this is an area larger than China. Is this realistic? A thread. Full repot: landgap.org #COP30 #ClimateJustice #ClimateChange #ClimateAction
