It met a 2030 target to install 1,200 GW of solar & wind cc almost six years early.. China also began #construction on 94.5 GW of #coalpower projects in 2024, 93% of the global total"

Big oil pushed to kill bill that would have made them pay for wildfire disasters
Legislation has new life in wake of Los Angeles catastrophe but US fossil-fuel industry is already mobilizing against it
In the year preceding the devastating Los Angeles county wildfires, big oil fiercely lobbied to kill a “#polluter #pay” bill that moved through the California senate
-- and would have forced major fossil fuel companies to help cover the costs of climate disasters.Fossil-fuel industry lobbying in California spiked to record levels during the 2023-24 legislative session,
-- and the polluter pay bill was among the most targeted pieces of legislation,
a Guardian review of state lobby filings found. -

Should the #polluter always pay?
The answer isn’t as obvious as you might think. It depends on whether your priority is #climate justice or cutting #carbon.

Trump’s win is a tragic loss for #climate progress
His return to the White House puts the world’s second-largest climate #polluter on an #emissions trajectory we can’t afford.
It comes at a moment when the world can’t afford to waste time, with nations far off track from any emissions trajectories that would keep our ecosystems stable and our communities safe. Under the policies in place today, the planet is already set to warm by more than 3 °C over preindustrial levels

#GOP-controlled committee thwarting distribution of $125m budgeted by legislature until #polluter immunity approved
PFAS chemicals used across dozens of industries to make products water-, stain- and heat-resistant. Compounds are linked to #cancer, decreased immunity, #thyroid problems, #birthdefects, #kidney and #liver problems and a range of other serious #illnesses.

#TaylorSwift is the greatest #environmental #polluter among celebrities in 2023 -
"Taylor Swift was already considered the biggest polluter among celebrities last year (2022). This year she has not improved - quite the opposite.
...
Swift's more than twelve flights in the past three months have caused 138 tons of #CO2 emissions. To compensate for this environmental damage, Taylor Swift would have to plant 2,282 trees and let them grow for 10 years. The flights consumed 12,622 gallons (the equivalent of 47,779 liters) of kerosene, which corresponds to a value of 70,779 US dollars - 64,230 euros."I've tried, but I've never been able to warm up to Swift or her music. Now I know why.
...
"When it comes to love, no distance is too far for Taylor Swift - and no tonne of #CO2 #emissions too much. In 2022, the US singer was denounced for having the most environmentally damaging behavior among celebrities. In contrast to her colleagues, she had traveled the most miles in a private jet and thus left the largest carbon footprint. There has been no improvement this year. The reason for this is said to be her relationship.For a few months now, Taylor Swift has been seen alongside football star Travis Kelce. The 34-year-old has been shuttling back and forth between New York and Kansas City for him in recent months. She has also boarded a plane between her tour stops in #SouthAmerica to travel to Kansas City. Several media outlets have reported this, referring to the Instagram channel "Taylor Swift's Jets", which tracks the private jet's routes."
