Chance of temporarily exceeding 1.5°C global warming:

🟢 2015 ≈ 0%

🟡 2017-2021 ≈ 10%

🟠 2023-2027 ≈ 66%

Today's @WMO report shows we must accelerate action this decade to avoid the worst impacts of #ClimateChange.

#Globalwarming of 1.1°C has resulted in more frequent & more intense extreme weather events that have caused dangerous impacts on nature & people worldwide.

Every increment of warming results in rapidly escalating hazards.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I have just warned global leaders at #COP27:

We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator.

Our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible.

We need urgent #ClimateAction.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

It is immoral for oil & gas companies to be making record profits from the current energy crisis on the backs of the poorest, at a massive cost to the climate.

I urge all governments to tax these excessive profits & use the funds to support the most vulnerable people.

Canadians now burn more fossil fuels per person than any other member of the G7.

Every other G7 nation has reduced their climate pollution since the 90s. Canada has ramped up fossil fuel expansion & emissions.

And we’re still debating about TMX. Ridiculous.

By the end of 2023, these single-use plastics can't be sold anywhere in Canada.

[Ravi Karkara @ravikarkara]

We must limit warming to 1.5°C to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.

The difference between 1.5° and 2° or even 3° is staggering.

Every fraction of a degree matters. We have the solutions to narrow the gap so that people and nature can thrive: https://t.co/MoBlVJLVZq
