Things can be good.

No honest person can call this "self-defense"

This update from Bisan today is heartbreaking. People are being forced to evacuate what they thought was the safest place in Gaza. There’s nowhere else to go. “This is Nakba”

The bare minimum. Take action with @palyouthmvmt and @wearedissenters and others as well.

One of our US Climate Action Network family has been shot in the chest snd is in the ER. We think the shooter was the MAGAT in prior pix. @KOB4 @SourceNm

What if instead of twitter we all just text our friends

@stevebloom55 @ChefTomStoneham @ProfBillMcGuire @hausfath That is very true. 2C is by no means safe or acceptable.

I just disagree when people say there is zero chance of staying under 2C at this point.

Hampton Roads residents are submerging art of iconic coastal Virginia places into the ocean to symbolize the threat of sea level rise.

Thank you @RepElaineLuria for passing the Inflation Reduction Act to protect Virginia Beach from sea level rise.

Gentle reminder that the @iea sees a ban on the sale of fossil fuel boilers in 2025 as a key milestone in its decarbonisation scenario.

[Jamie DeMarco @JamieDeMarco1]

@alanwilliamz @ProfBillMcGuire I think that global emissions will peak in the 2020s and decline to zero before 2070.

Just yesterday there is new evidence of a near peak.

Of course, we need to keep pushing for a much faster transition off fossil fuels.

Staying below 2C is possible

🚨BREAKING🚨 13 days out from the election, dozens of young people are throwing a dance party outside the house of @SenMastriano @dougmastriano to joyfully counter the gubernatorial candidate’s messages of hate and fear with one of positivity and acceptance.

@rasmusdotse @ClareSaxon @ProfBillMcGuire @IPCC_CH @EsmeStallard Good point. That graph is simplified to be illustriative, not to represent actual modeling.

These are more accurate S-Curves for what a 2C pathway would look like:

@ChefTomStoneham @ProfBillMcGuire No. @hausfath and others have looked at this question closely and found that when carbon emissions stops, warming stops.

[Jamie DeMarco @JamieDeMarco1]

@ClareSaxon @ProfBillMcGuire @IPCC_CH @EsmeStallard I completely agree that staying under 1.5C is tragically out of reach at this point. We need to reduce global emissions 45% by 2030 in order to be on track for 1.5C
As you quote shows, that is not going to happen.

We do, though, have a real and fighting chance to stay under 2C

[Jamie DeMarco @JamieDeMarco1]

@ClareSaxon @ProfBillMcGuire @IPCC_CH @EsmeStallard Exactly.

Ten years ago the business as usual scenario looked like 4+C degrees of warming.

Now, current policies will land us between 2C and 3C.

If we bend the curve of global emissions over the next 10 years as much as we bent it over the past 10, then we can stay under 2C.

[Jamie DeMarco @JamieDeMarco1]

This is great news.

[Stand.earth @standearth]

In just the past six months, more than 30 (!!) jurisdictions in the US and Canada introduced or passed policies to electrify their buildings and kick fossil fuels to the curb. What’s driving this electric pace and why does it matter? Let’s take a look🧵

[Zeke Hausfather @hausfath]

And there are some reasons for cautious hope. While 1.5C is pulling out of reach, in many ways its become a lot more likely that we can limit warming below 2C.

A decade ago we were heading for 4C+, today we are heading for ~2.6C, and we can bend that curve further down.

LIVE: "Cancer Alley" climate activists are holding a funeral procession in D.C. for lives lost to fossil fuels. Frontline leaders are demanding @POTUS protect residents of Cancer Alley, the Gulf Coast and declare a climate emergency. https://t.co/wcAZu8A7sA

Toyota needs to totally scrap and rewrite it's $38 billion EV rollout plan because "Toyota's planning had assumed demand for EVs would not take off for several decades"

Now they need to make a new, more ambitious plan from scratch.

Don't bet against electrification.

So it turns out that "Mirai" is not, in fact, Japanese for "Future" - it's Japanese for "Colossal strategic blunder".

Anti-Semitism and authoritarianism are rising on the Right. It is horrifying and disgusting.

If you are the part of an institution that is not yet working to defeat the Republican Party, it is your responsibility to make them pick a side and take a stand.
