Biden, Other World Leaders Arrive in Glasgow After G20 Fails To 'Consign Coal To History': At the G20 in Rome, ahead of COP, the world’s largest economies agreed to stop financing coal plants abroad, but not at home, due to resistance from coal-heavy  Australia, China, Russia, and India. World leaders “fluffed their lines” on climate, Greenpeace’s Jennifer Morgan said in a statement. The U.S. showed up in Glasgow with its new strategy to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, plus a little more detail on how its climate finance pledge would help the world adapt to worsening impacts. Ahead of his speech at the World Leaders Summit, the White House announced President Biden will pledge to work with Congress to provide $3 billion in adaptation finance annually by FY2024, part of $11.4 billion already pledged. This is the first time that money has been dedicated to adaptation, and would deliver on a major responsibility to island nations and other vulnerable countries.

COP Access Inequities Continue To Raise Concerns: As COP26 gets underway, inequitable access continues to be a problem. Developing nations least responsible for, but most vulnerable to, the climate crisis have always been underrepresented at the global summit, but the problem is worse this year as the coronavirus pandemic compounds long-standing inequities, raising the barriers to entry even higher. “Every two to three months you have to face people who’ve just lost their homes and they look to you and they ask you: ‘Yet again?’” Satyendra Prasad, Fiji’s ambassador to the UN, told the LA Times. Largely due COVID travel restrictions, the heads of state of just four Pacific island nations will be in Glasgow while 11 other countries will have to make due with smaller delegate teams and NGO volunteers. Concerns over global vaccine inequity have dogged the conference for months. “I am tired of applauding my people’s resilience,” Fiji Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama told the LA Times. “True resilience is not just defined by a nation’s grit but by our access to financial resources.” Six environmental experts who recently fled the Taliban were also due to attend COP26, had their applications unexpectedly rejected —without explanation — just days before the event, the Guardian reported. The five men and one woman, who cannot be named out of fear for their safety, all previously worked with UN programs, the pre-Taliban government or other national environmental groups in Afghanistan. “By taking this action the UNFCCC secretariat stifled the voice of millions of Afghan victims of climate change impact," one of the experts told The Guardian. "Climate change does not respect borders.” (The Verge, LA Times $, The Guardian)

Ida, With Texas Law, Cut Off Access To Abortion Care: Hurricane Ida, which bore numerous hallmarks of a storm supercharged by climate change, exacerbated the abortion access crisis in the region set off by Texas' new controversial law, E&E News reports. Demand for abortion care surged in states bordering Texas, and just days after Texas passed the fracking billionaire and dark money-backed law effectively banning abortions in the state, Hurricane Ida forced two of the three abortion providers in Louisiana offline. “We know overwhelmingly that people seeking abortions are already low-income and dealing with making travel arrangements and finding child care and missing work,” Michelle Erenberg of Lift Louisiana, an abortion access advocate. “All of that stuff becomes exacerbated if you are traveling even longer distances for care and doing it in the midst of a storm or recovery, and just with Hurricane Ida, some women are not going to get the abortions they need because of it.” (E&E News; Neighboring states: The 19th* News)

US Gov To Account For Climate Pollution In Lease Sales: The Interior Department will take the greenhouse gas pollution produced by oil and gas operations on public lands into account before selling federal drilling rights, President Biden announced Friday. The administration paused lease sales on public lands early in its administration and, under court order, later announced plans for offshore auctions in the Gulf of Mexico and off the Alaskan coast, as well in several Western states. The Bureau of Land Management issued a report Friday showing oil, gas, and coal extracted from federal lands in 2020 alone were responsible for 900 metric megatons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions.(E&E News, AP, The Hill, Reuters, Politico Pro $)

COP26 Begins: What To Expect When You’re Expecting Disinformation

Last week we previewed some of the lines of attack we expect to see from deniers as COP26 kicks off, and today we’re updating and adding a few more to watch out for (beyond any Republicans that come bearing supposed good-faith while talking about the Taliban’s lithium.) 

Electric vehicles are of course a consummate target for deniers, as they offer a chance to use their “hypocritical elites” framing, and the issue we flagged with COP26 charging luxury EVs with (bio)diesel generators has already been fact-checked, as was Bjorn Lomborg’s recent (false) claim about electric vehicles being a “net negative,” which (surprise!) they’re not. Lomborg’s regular columns in the WSJ (which the editorial board summarized, sans fact checks) argued that climate impacts aren’t so costly (they are!) and instead we can just adapt our way out of danger (we can’t!) so long as economic growth isn’t hampered (even though climate change will hamper economic growth)! 

"Net Zero" is turning out to be another contentious issue, which makes sense because it can be used as greenwashing by industry promising to pay for offsets for their continued emissions tomorrow while continuing to pollute today, but of course that’s what legitimately climate-concerned critics will say, while deniers are decidedly stupider. 

The Global Warming Policy Foundation, the UK’s main climate denial organization, has rebranded as Net Zero Watch to oppose climate policies instead of just denying climate science. See DeSmog for more on the rebrand and ClimateFeedback for a fact check demonstrating GWPF’s lack of credibility. Then there’s also another UK pop-up PR front group attacking NetZero, CAR26 that Sean Buchan of Stop Funding Heat told Desmog was just another one of the “fringe groups [that] will inevitably try to derail the proceedings.”  

Speaking of fringe groups, the disgraced and repeatedly debunked Heartland Institute is convening a 3-day sideshow in Glasgow, The Scotsman reported, and CFACT is sending fundraising emails about how it’s going to Glasgow as well. Alex Epstein, who creates and spreads pro-fossil fuel talking points for the industry, has indicated he intends to “crash” the COP. In 2018, The Weather Channel did an extensive feature on how Epstein offered “a course in climate misinformation”, and no doubt he and the rest of the professional deniers will try to trick reporters into taking their antics seriously. 

It’s not just the fringe though. As the GOP’s shameful display at the disinformation hearing showed, they’ll stoop as low as it takes to defend their fossil fuel funders by claiming that fossil fuel failures are actually due to renewables. But fuel shortages and gas price hikes show how costly our current reliance on fossil fuels can be, and it’s oil companies, not environmentalists or politicians, who control the price of fuel, and blaming today’s high energy prices on the possibility of future climate action is a transparent attempt to defend fossil fuels by deflecting blame on to the technology that is poised to replace them. 

So while we can’t know the exact attacks the fossil fuel industry’s goons will try to make stick to disrupt COP26, we can be pretty sure they’ll be grossly dishonest. Hopefully reporters will be too clever to fall for their trolling.
