Here another study confirming our <1.5°C Planetary Boundary. Already at current 1.2°C of global mean temperature rise, we are in danger for multi-meter sea level rise over the coming centuries with major Earth system impacts https://t.co/OqCiNfAOSn
Happy birthday to Sir David Attenborough. Nobody has served humanity so well, in helping us reconnect to our Planet, and to show how resilient and forgiving nature can be, if we humans treat life as we expect to be treated ourselves, in life. https://t.co/ERJj0oLK85
Why are our screen addicted children being taught on yet more screens? A webinar featuring the great Jonathan Haidt (“The Anxious Generation), the Swedish edu minister, experts and me https://t.co/clTGw8gFml via @YouTube
Ocean warming from burning oil and gas fuels stronger hurricanes and rising seas. The longer we ignore the science, the more we lose.
You can’t win against the laws of physics.

"Extreme weather to strengthen rapidly over next 2 decades"
"Nearly three quarters of the global population can expect strong and rapid changes in extreme temperatures & rainfall in the next 20 years unless greenhouse gas emissions are cut dramatically"

Will never not be weird how little pick up the stories on record-breaking temperatures now get. We've just totally normalised one of the most abnormal things to happen in the history of human civilisation. https://t.co/QKqGcN7Ap2
Colleagues & I have been getting more pushback than ever for being outspoken about dietary change as a climate mitigation option. In a new survey of over 9000 scientists, 38% adopt less- or no-meat diets and an additional 32% express willingness to https://t.co/7hUNzJRLon
And here is the paper, providing even more evidence that a race-to-zero emissions is necessary if we are to have a chance of manageable outcomes for people across the world

We are rapidly approaching tipping points, and every 0.1°C of avoided warming reduces risk. Check out our new paper on tipping point risks and cascades, summarized here by @CarbonBrief https://t.co/fxtHTd0VCp
Watching US politicians applaud a war criminal and genocidaire in Congress is sincerely one of the most disgusting things I have ever witnessed. Rotten to the core, all of them.
Facing 20 years behind bars for taking action against Japanese whale hunting found to be illegal by @CIJ_ICJ . . . if you do one thing today , please give your voice to this hero https://t.co/cGcbzYaLVL , please RT
