Thanks Kevin. It was an honour to have you speaking at the event. We've had so many comments from people overcome with emotion at the relief of hearing a frank, honest assessment of the interconnected climate/nature crisis - the essential first step towards genuine emergency action. 🙏

Yes, but pls note new UK policy is not as good as it appears at first. Yes it deals with the UK as a long-term FF producer; however same North Sea plan locks in gas (increasingly LNG) based carbon capture as a way to transition potentially increasing UK FF consumption

This is huge. On the same day Canada announces a new tarsands pipeline and a roll back of climate policy UK announces no new oil and gas licences and a fossil fuel phase out plan. Congratulations and thank you to the UK for your leadership. And Canada?! PM Mark Carney, embarrassing. #cdnpoli
Huge news from the UK today: after UN climate talks in which there was a massive fight over language on fossil fuels, the UK government today announced that it will in fact be keeping many millions of barrels of oil & gas in the ground. Deeds rather than just words for a change! 🧵

One really important takeaway from Kate Aronoff’s magisterial overview of the IRA is that @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social was INSTRUMENTAL to getting the legislation passed, whoever may have taken largest or sole credit for it in the news media.
