Jewish Youth Climate Movement

Founded by @adamah in 2020, we are dedicated to mitigating climate change by empowering teens, mobilizing our communities, and taking action.

[Jewish Youth Climate Movement @JYCM_]

Our shared #Jewish values teach us that we must not destroy the earth. So, we will continue protesting arm-in-arm as Jewish #youthactivists, fighting for our planet, communities & future. Stand with us and demand that Larry Fink & @BlackRock divest from #fossilfuels.

[Rabbi Rachel Kahn-Troster @RKahnTroster]

Yesterday, I was arrested with 8 other activists for blockading the entrance to @blackrock in support of @JYCM_ and their call to @blackrock to divest from fossil fuels. We need bold action to stop the climate catastrophe!

When you see an oil executive smiling, it’s time to worry.

The climate impact of the foods we eat.

There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate

California will be a thing in the coming hours. Massive flooding ahead. Maybe some start thinking about the energy we have put in the system and how to reduce it, Na or?

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

The General Sherman Tree. By volume, it’s the largest living tree on Earth and is estimated to be 2,500 years old!

Despite their importance old growth forests continue to be logged globally. It's time to protect the irreplaceable.

POW! California is suing five major oil companies for wreaking havoc on our planet and lying about the dangers of fossil fuels.

No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

Some great visuals of the 2023's gobsmackingly hot temperatures from @BBCNews : https://t.co/HgWe3GE9Ux

I know you’ve heard it all…

My message at COP28 for World Leaders and Parliamentarians #COP28

[Xiye Bastida @xiyebastida]

We need an equitable fossil fuel phase out— any country that blocks this language from the text is jeopardizing our chance to stay below 1.5 degrees

We must implement a just phase out of fossil fuels globally- with the countries with highest historic emissions stepping up first

“For far too long, communities that have borne the brunt of power plant and industrial pollution have been left out and left behind.”
Great to see environmental justice front and center in Inflation Reduction Act funding.

Excellent news ab climate funds from Inflation Reduction Act going to overburdened communities.
"81% of investments in greener energy are in counties with below-avg wages; former coal towns are at the forefront of the influx."

China's first 100MW #solar power plant uses 12,000 mirrors and is capable of producing energy throughout the day and night.

We have the solutions. Dump fossil fuels and implement them. #ActOnClimate

We often focus on global surface temperatures as a key metric for climate change.

But as we note in the Climate Trends chapter of the new US 5th National Climate Assessment, we see incontrovertible evidence for climate change across the oceans, land, cryosphere, and atmosphere:

[UN Environment Programme @UNEP]

If global warming is maintained at 1.5ºC, up to 90% of coral reefs might disappear by 2050 due to prolonged ocean heatwaves.

Protecting these precious ecosystems is a critical step #ForPeopleForPlanet..

POW! All new houses built in Tokyo after April 2025 must include solar power panels. Let's speed that up. Who's next?

RT if you think more houses should get a solar powered upgrade.

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

Fossil fuels were given over $7 TRILLION in subsidies last year: https://t.co/uBmJhBX3Xd That's $19.2 billion per day,
$799 million per hour,
$13.3 million every minute.

The first step in addressing the problem is to stop funding it. #ActOnClimate

[#BreakFreeFromPlastic @brkfreeplastic]

BREAKING: The #BreakFreeFromPlastic Pollution Act of 2023 has been reintroduced in the U.S. Congress with even stronger language, improved tools, and more #environmentaljustice protections! 💪 This is the most comprehensive U.S. federal legislation on the plastics crisis (🧵)

[Jeff Berardelli @WeatherProf]

Ocean heat content up 6X since the 1980s! From the 1960s-1980s the oceans stored ~75 Zettajoules of heat per month. Now it's 450. That's because 90% of the excess heat from human-caused climate change, due primarily to the burning of fossil fuels, is retained by the oceans 1/

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

Record wildfires in Europe, in Canada, record low arctic ice, record high global temps...

How many more records do we need to break before we #ActOnClimate

I wonder if we should stop building new coal, oil, and gas infrastructure like scientists have continuously pleaded for decades.
