After 96 consecutive days above the Paris limit of 1.5°C, as of December 11, the planet temporarily breached below the Paris limit, hitting a cool 1.48°C. I expect this breach to last about a week, then we're back to total planetary f&%kery again.
A startling info graphic from the @UN - demonstrating the dire consequences of half a degree. Are you ready to say good bye to 30% of all marine life?

If you're not angry enough at WCs already this will definitely put you over the edge.
Fantastic tool by the @Guardian. Enter your postcode and see exactly how much of your water bill goes to pay for greed, incompetence and failure.
Me? 25% 😡

Your 'moment of doom' for Dec. 15, 2023 ~ Millions more of *every living thing*.
"With every vague verb, every empty promise in the final text, millions more people will enter the frontline of climate change and many will die."

Dear people who STILL "don't believe in climate change": You should be against the fossil fuel industry, anyway. New Harvard study (below) estimates 1 in 5 global deaths due to fossil fuel air pollution. Fossil fuel CEOs are actual mass murderers

Deniers going crazy at cold in Europe saying Global Warming does not exist
Reality Global warming has weakened Polar Vortex which can create a weak jet stream pattern, unlocking cold air, normally confined to Arctic which can now escape from polar regions into USA and Europe
My hopes for #COP28:
1. Commitments to get nationally determined contributions in line with 1.5°C limit.
2. Fossil fuel phaseout & big investments in renewables.
3. Acceleration of climate justice.
It is not too late to stop the climate crisis. But we need #ClimateAction now.
When we lose Antarctica - we lose Earth as a livable planet
A ‘once every 7.5 million years’ event in Antarctica has happened this year in Antarctica
Antarctica's sea ice is hitting record lows, with 2.3 million sq km less than the 1981-2010 average.

"Surfing was my life – then Britain’s filthy water left me with an incurable illness."
Two days ago local WC @SouthWestWater increased their dividend payout to shareholders by a whopping 8.3%
So when did you last see a 8.3% pay rise? It pays to pollute.

#COP28 starts today. Findings from the #IPCC 2023 Synthesis Report are clear.
#Climatechange is a threat to human well-being & planetary health.
There is a rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a liveable & sustainable future for all.

"South West Water raises dividend despite a fall in pre-tax profits."
Yep, that good old gravy train just keeps giving, giving and giving. That is your money by the way.

“Each one of the many @Dove sachets we found polluting beaches and waterways should be a badge of shame for Dove and Unilever. They can’t continue to flood countries like the Philippines with waste they know can be devastating."

Got into Dubai late last night. Opened up my curtains in my hotel this morning to what I now know is the largest single site natural gas power generation facility in the world. Fitting. I am going to stare at this through the haze of pollution for two weeks. Welcome to #cop28.
