This whole thread is an important read 🌎

[Prof Julia Steinberger @JKSteinberger]

We're barrelling head first into a cataclysmic climate disaster of planetary scale, and our governments and economies are COMPLETELY disregarding the emergency exit that would spare us. We're not going to make it, and it's not because "solutions" don't exist.
A 🧵, I guess.

Did you know that there is a 500 kWp solar-microgrid installation project in Suriname led by SINOSOAR? Microgrids are new initiatives which can assist with utlising clean energy, and reduce our reliance on conventional power sources.

Climate change affects all countries, on a global scale. Awareness and effective action in adaptation and resilience strategies will go a long way in helping our communities and marginalised peoples to survive.

There is a river in Colombia that is so clear that you can see the vibrant plants growing on the river bed

The river is called Caño Cristales (the crystal channel)

These aquatic plants are called macarenia clavigera and are endemic only to Colombia

What an informative article - there's lots to be done in the years ahead

BREAKING. We are in a position to confirm that @EmmanuelMacron sent a letter to Ursula @vonderLeyen saying that the creation of a new fund for #biodiversity was a “redline”. #COP15 - see thread 👇🏼

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

Once again, fossil fuel lobbyists outnumber every national delegation at COP27. Complete failure is of course ensured until they stop letting in the fossil fuel industry. It's a mockery of any real effort to stop Earth breakdown.
