#PublicServiceAnnouncement re: "climate summits": There's only two possible outcomes to a #COP climate summit: One: there IS agreement on a deal that doesn't mean anything. Two: there is NO agreement on a deal that doesn't mean anything. Both have one thing in common: they don't mean anything.

Zelensky has given Trump everything that Trump demanded in return for absolutely nothing beyond a vague promise of some nebulous something. This is what happens when one believes the non-credible promises of a US that weaponises you for its own purposes www.ft.com/content/1890...

Based on carbon budgets from Lamboll et al www.nature.com/articles/s41... - updated to January 2025, the global rate for cutting CO2 inline with a 50% chance of not exceeding 1.5°C is ~19% year on year. For "well below 2°C" its ~7% each year; i.e. a technology revolution AND profound social change.
