I just get tired...Tired of hearing that 1.5°C is a "target" or "goal". IT IS NOT. It is a limit. The only real goal is 0°C. And not bad 1.5°C, when we LIKELY tip GIS, WAIS, Tropical Coral Reefs and Abrupt Boreal Permafrost, and get more floods, droughts, heat, disease, storms.
We have, until yesterday morning, warned of the 3-times faster warming of the Arctic, compared to the Planet. Now we have to make a correction. It is 4 times faster (7 times faster on Svalbard). Implications remain poorly understood. https://t.co/idEZBLu2Zt via @AJEnglish
CAT global update: Glasgow has a credibility gap between talk and action. If all govts met their 2030 targets, we would have 2.4˚C of warming in 2100. But right now, current policies put us at 2.7˚C. https://t.co/dkX4jAbo2f

Från att Donald Trump svors in som president fram till igår ökade Twitter-grundaren Jack Dorseys aktier i värde från 13 till 46 mdr. Först när det stod klart att Trump var slut som politiker stängdes han av.
"Vi talar ofta om att rädda planeten, men i själva verket måste vi göra allt det här för att rädda oss själva. Det vilda kommer att återvända, med eller utan oss."

This is an important story. We’ve analysed 6,000 listed businesses, and only very few are close to meeting the targets in the Paris accord. Businesses globally are on course for a 4 degrees rise, while in Europe that number stands at 3.5 degrees. https://t.co/f6BCeLBmiG
