So why haven't we bent the emissions curve in 30 years?

“Many are asking what it’ll take for people in power to wake up. But let’s be clear - they’re already awake. They know exactly what they’re doing. They know exactly what priceless values they’re sacrificing to maintain business as usual.”

My speech from today’s march in Glasgow.

“Those with the power to make decisions about how much the world warms in the coming decades are mostly old and male. Those who are angriest about the pace of climate action are mostly young and female.” https://t.co/8TgrO5hQxx

Re-upping, because the "we need to drastically reduce population to deal with climate change in the next decades" is still, remarkably, a thing. A genocidal thing, but a thing nonetheless. Please help stop it.

On the way to #COP26 as a member of Lancaster Youth For Environment (LYFE) @LancasterYouth thanks to @COP26_Coalition for organising 4 coaches to Glasgow from Lancs/Cumbria #ClimateEmergency

This photo of Tuvalu’s virtual address to the Climate Conference says everything that should need to be said. #COP26

Wow. This is truly what people power looks like.

[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.

Nearly every world leader at #COP26 is male.

The #patriarchy seems abstract until you realise that the future or humanity rests this week almost exclusively in the hands of men.

@PhilipDaviesUK we’re a top 15 emitter, if you include scope 3 our 1% nearly doubles, we’re the 13th highest emitter per capita (way above China), the cost is likely higher than 1trillion anyway, but have you checked the cost of 4-5 degrees lately?

My @Lancsuni climate emergency lecture alongside the VC et al. I called for: immediate annual reporting of ALL scope emissions, separate accounting and targets for reductions and removals and a published plan with interim scope 3 targets that embeds climate in ALL uni strategies
