" #Climate change is taking the gloves off.” That’s MunichRe on the #LAfires. @accuweather.com puts LA fires’ #economic losses at $250B+, nearly triple 2023 US losses. See @petermckillop.bsky.social on why the LA fires signal an insurance crisis. @barclay2.bsky.social @climateandcap.bsky.social

Rookie mistake. Mexico’s president Claudia Sheinbaum took Trump’s bate and hinted at retaliation over US president-elect Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs. Stay cool and bargain privately not in the press. www.ft.com/content/af59...

Bury the news alert! The US Energy Dept may use the Thanksgiving break to release a report warning LNG is more dangerous than coal. “The assumption is that a good time to release such a report would be the Friday after Thanksgiving,” an energy lobbyist told Politico. www.eenews.net/articles/doe...

Colleague @blairpalese.bsky.social wrap on the train wreck called COP29. “Is this all there is? As our colleague in Azerbaijan @HunterLovins wrote, it is heartbreaking. Global climate activist Greta Thunberg called it a “death sentence” in a Tweet.” @climateandcap mailchi.mp/climateandca....

Wow. This came out the blue. Is the Justice Department settling last minute scores? It seems gratuitous- no matter how well intended. Adani is a close ally of Indian PM Modi and this will go nowhere under Trump. So what is the point? amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/11/...

One more COP tidbit from Ed: ‘It’s looking bleak for carbon market rules. The US and oil economies are seeking to delete text that would have seen low quality deals face some sort of reckoning. If successful, future deals will made in a secretive black hole away from any scrutiny or accountability.

More from COP from Ed King. ‘Riyadh’s finest have been hard at work ripping out language on emission cuts across multiple negotiation streams in Baku. It’s the same story at the G20 in Rio. Few can match the oil-rich kingdom for diplomatic cunning.’
