The "fact check" material goes to 2020, before the sharply increased cover in the graph. So why include? Not sure of his intent here.
The latest reef-wide stats is from 2017: aims.gov.au/reef-monitorin… But in 2020, AIMS submitted stats 1986-2020 to AAP linked to "these figures" docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… I link to the data, not the fact-check which is old and for a claim in 2020, not now pic.twitter.com/kmzn1bpoYf

Nearly all 1.5°C scenarios have a radical reduction in coal use, with slower reductions in oil & gas.
Nearly all coal use (~80%) is in non-OECD countries.
If more scenarios considered equity, would coal go down slower, & oil & gas faster?

The second, we need to innovate to make green energy cheaper than fossil fuels.

3/ Climate change is a huge challenge. But IMO there is little evidence that climate change is worse than we thought, nor that assessments are downplaying the risks, nor that we are doomed. These viewpoints do not reflect mainstream thinking in climate. pnas.org/doi/full/10.10…

Why is media not demanding to see the actual climate impact of spending $369 billion The UN's own climate model shows that the impact will be impossible to detect by mid-century and still unnoticeable even in the best case by the year 2100 Shouldn't we hear that? refs in 🧵 pic.twitter.com/B90wFUrqv6
Baseline is RCP4.5, as used e.g. by UNFCCC here unfccc.int/news/cop26-upd… Biden quote "the most significant legislation in history to tackle the climate crisis" whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/… UN Climate model, live.magicc.org pic.twitter.com/sSPRkWtpqg
The $369 billion only goes to 2030 (still unclear, but not further) Low estimate assumes IRA only causes reductions for 2022-30 (underestimate) High estimate assumes IRA continues 511MtCO₂e reductions every year from 2031-2100 (big overestimate) democrats.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/… pic.twitter.com/kIKTPMDW71
The CO₂e reduction estimate comes from the Rhodium group's new reduction estimate My analysis use the average difference between their current policy and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). This goes from zero in 2022 to 511Mt CO₂e in 2030. rhg.com/research/infla… pic.twitter.com/DIRqOiZ3Wt
Impact of new climate legislation
Unnoticeable: 0.0009°F to 0.028°F in 2100
Why is no media describing just 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 your $369 billion will achieve?
Instead, we're being told:

A Reasonable Alternative to COP26 and Preaching Climate Doom

We are truly into crunching territory for the country's energy-intensive manufacturing industry.
The current price is ~1,000% higher than the €41.1 per MWh 2010-2020 average.

Here is the challenge for climate hawks "I simply do not see how the IRA actually reduces emissions. I invite climate hawks to present the case in terms of specific policy mechanics and resulting causality for how the legislation will reduce carbon dioxide emissions."
Next week The Guardian will probably publish another article about levels of climate anxiety.
Taking no responsibility for the fact that their (false) headlines are making this much worse.
Experts do not think that climate meltdown can't be stopped.
