Thanks &👍to all in civil society & beyond who stand up to be counted. It’s too easy to leave it to others, shrug shoulders &ask,“What can I do” Resignation is what the fossil fuel lobby want, using its money to buy weak policymakers& co-opt “experts”. Silence is not neutrality. 2.6K views · 53 likes · 18 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

@KevinClimate Your responses are very interesting, enlightening, and clarifying, Mr. Kevin Anderson. They shed light on the proper approach to energy management for the United Kingdom today. 3K views · 0 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@KevinClimate Excellent point, that if the UK produces more oil and gas, it doesn't mean a reduction in production elsewhere. The same holds true, for renewables and nuclear, unless accompanied by measures to phase out fossil fuels. It just adds to the mix, with new Data Centres 814 views · 15 likes · 4 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

Many thanks for the very kind comment - though not a view shared by many senior academic colleagues & experts who, I repeatedly hear, privately dismiss my analysis and conclusions, yet, curiously, seem reluctant to engage in open and informed debate. 3.5K views · 85 likes · 20 reposts · 6 replies Open on X →

I was asked by a colleague from my oil & gas days (who has remained in the industry) why UK producing its own gas is less acceptable to the Greens (& others) than importing it from America and West Africa.'

@KevinClimate 10% annual cuts required. Instead: airport expansion. Hard to get steel in the ground with a moving target. Physics doesn't grade on a curve. 81 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Quelle surprise: my comment on the Govt's latest climate commitment https://t.co/AJSICc0GQI is out of step, at least publicly, with many colleagues: https://t.co/zFo14sLg61 With expert whitewash on one side & charlatans on the other, an honest climate debate stands no chance. ht

First major IPCC report:1990 Rio Earth Summit establishing the UNFCCC: 1992 The Kyoto protocol:1997 Paris: 2015 Glasgow: 2021 So why haven't we bent the emissions curve in 30 years? We conclude power concentrated in 'elites' is a major obstacle to change https://t.co/X9VMGrXZNU h
