What climate crisis? EU and 19 of world’s largest national economies poured $3.3 trillion of direct support to coal, oil and gas over past 4 years, enough to deploy solar power 3.5 times the size of the U.S. grid

The hypocrisy of the G20 is breathtaking

Wildfires are nothing new to the western US, but they’re getting worse and worse.

And you can probably guess what the culprit is. https://t.co/Bdk0nkVIpy

More white #orcas found in NW Pacific! When we did our paper on #white or #albino whales in 2016 (DOI: 10.1578/AM.42.3.2016.350) we found incidence of white individuals was 1 in 1,000. One other pod had 2 white ones plus 3 or more in various other pods 1/2

Sections of the Amazon are now emitting more carbon dioxide than they absorb.

This has serious consequences for its capacity to thwart the climate crisis. End deforestation now. #WeDontHaveTime https://t.co/2fYCWHsAlx

Last year. 1 billion animals died in Australian wildfires. This year it is happening again in Canada!

This is the speed of #extinction

The alarm is ringing loud and clear.

Why are we not acting? Why doesn't this fact make the front page every single day?
