@simon_brooke@mastodon.scot"At the last #Cop climate summit in Baku, there were 1,773 coal, oil and gas lobbyists, a larger contingent than all but three countries. The group said this led to a watering down of penalties for big emitters, backtracking on international commitments to transition away from fossil fuels, and domestic challenges to carbon taxes and legislation designed to reduce emissions"

@Sustainable2050@mastodon.energyMany conclude that #COP30 wasn't a big success, but not a big failure either.
Given the speed with which the climate crisis is developing, any COP that's not a big success is now a big failure, though.

For the past 30 years, global representatives have gathered for United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP) climate summits, promising solutions. But political inaction continues to drive worsening climate disasters.
It’s hard not to be cynical. The COP process has become a theatre of contradiction. Recent summits have been hosted by petrostates & financed by polluters. Fossil fuel lobbyists attended COP28 & COP29 [en masse]

@tiotasram@kolektiva.socialDay 16: Mayra Cuevas & Marie Marquardt
Okay so this is cheating, but they're co-authors of multiple books together, and there's no way for me to separate their contributions... I've already got too many authors I'd like to list, so why not?
I read their book "Does My Body Offend You?" and absolutely loved it; it's a celebration of teen activism while also being a deep exploration of feminist issues through practical situations that bring out the complicated side of things, which the authors refuse to reduce back to a simple formulaic answer. It has a supporting cast of appropriately-complex male characters that help in exploring the nuances of issues like the line between female empowerment & male gratification, and it brings race and macho culture into the conversion as well.
CW for sexual harassment & deep discussion of the resultant trauma.
I'll cheat again here to sneak in mention of two male authors whose work resonates with theirs: Mark Oshiro's "Anger is a Gift" has a more pessimistic/complex take on teen activism along with a gay romance (CW for racist cop murder), while Jeremy Whitley's graphic novel "Navigating With You" deals with queer romance & disability, while having a main character pairing that echoes those from "Does My Body Offend You?" in a lot of ways. Another connection (to non-men authors this time) is with "Go With the Flow" by Lily Williams and Karen Schneemann. Their graphic novel about teen activism and periods is a bit more didactic and has a much lighter tone, but it does necessarily have some overlapping themes.
To bring it back to Cuevas & Marquhardt, their writing is great and their ability to discuss such complex topics with such nuance, all wrapped up in a story that feels completely natural, is amazing to me, and makes their book feel like one of the most valuable to recommend to others.
In writing this I've realized a grave oversight in the list so far that I'll have to correct tomorrow, but I'm quickly running out of days. The didn't-quite-make-it list is going to be full of more excellent authors, and I'm honestly starting to wonder whether it might actually be harder to name 20 male authors I respect now that I've found the sense to be mostly somewhere between disgusted and disappointed with so many of the male authors I enjoyed as a teen.

@azonenberg@ioc.exchangeWashington folks: anybody know the history of WAC 308-330-500 and adjacent statutes? What was the rationale?
When did it stop being enforced? And why? It's clearly a dead law, I've never seen a bicycle license plate in the ten years I've lived here. Although I guess a cop in a bad mood could probably still ticket you for violating it if they really wanted to.

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca“The Belem deal launches a voluntary initiative to speed up climate action to help nations meet their existing pledges to reduce emissions, and calls for rich nations to at least triple the amount of money they provide to help developing countries adapt to a warming world by 2035.”
This is suicide. We can’t adapt forever. Our civilization is based on 10,000 years of relatively stable climate. That climate is now changing in ways we can only guess at.
Yes we will have to adapt to what we have already done… but continuing to pump emissions into the atmosphere means we will continue to adapt to worse and worse and worse conditions until we can’t adapt anymore. No amount of money changes that.
When you can’t adapt… you die.
Canada and every provincial government is part of the problem. They are killing us now and killing our future.
