So many people over decades have been called conspiracy theorists for suggesting that U.S. intervention is driven by capitalist interests, and the interests of the oil industry in particular. Now the president just says it outright in press conferences and interviews.

After every COP, I have only this suggestion: source of news should be a careful and deliberate choice. And getting news from a diversity of sources is good because it allows comparison and hopefully, critical thinking. Another tip is to check for attribution and evidence in media reports

Tip for journalists: if a rich country negotiator blames another country for 'obstruction', journalism demands a scrutiny of the claim; not blind parroting. And maybe ask how discussions on finance are going. Also track record on domestic climate action because saying the right thing at COPs is easy

Von der Leyen is unlikely to defend Europeans from Trump
The EU's deferential German president, restricted by the blinders of her Atlanticist generation, has so far shown an inclination toward surrender in the face of the new American president's threats.

New paper. I wish this wasn't the case, but most progress on reducing US greenhouse gas emissions is likely spurious. Why? EPA underestimates methane emissions from oil and gas. Relevant today as Repubs vote to gut IRA's methane monitoring/mitigation program. 🧵 authors.elsevier.com/a/1lL4K_6se4...
Two graphs from the paper. 

The left graph shows US net greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 to 2022. The official EPA estimates decline fairly steadily from 6.6 gigatonnes per year in 2005 to 5.5 in 2022 (17% below 2005 levels), largely reflecting natural gas displacing coal for electricity generation. The adjusted estimates, which reflect independent measurements of methane emissions from oil and gas infrastructure, end at 6.3 gigatonnes per year in 2022 (only 5% below 2005 levels).

The right graph shows 2022 emissions increasing linearly with the assumed global warming potential of methane. Climate scientists are divided on whether to use the 100-year GWP, 20-year GWP, or something in between. With methane warming impacts assessed via the 20-year GWP, the central 2022 emissions estimate is 7.9 gigatonnes per year - 20% *above* the EPA's official 2005 estimate.

Caption: Figure 1: Left: United States net greenhouse gas emissions over time. Right: Scaling of 2022 net emissions with methane’s GWP. After adjustment to reflect recent measurements of methane emissions from natural gas infrastructure, United States net emissions remain nearly as high as their 2005 level.
