“This climate law is surrender - because nature doesn’t bargain and you cannot make ”deals” with physics.
And we will not allow you to surrender on our future.”

What?
Half a trillion tonnes?
Fuck.https://t.co/JmAIthBhEi
If we ignore the reality of feedbacks not properly acknowledged by the IPCC (permafrost, soil, forest, Arctic sea-ice loss, vegetation etc), forget we're already at ~1.3°C using the 1750 baseline, ignore the science that says slashing emissions will make things worse because of

This 10-year-old is leading the fight against climate change in Colombia - on the streets and in the Senate.
Like @GretaThunberg - Francisco protests for immediate climate action every Friday.
