Another year, another climate gap. 🌍🔥🌡️

It's the 15th time I joined the lead author team of the @UNEP #Emissionsgap report.

How high are global emissions?
What have countries pledged?
And is this all aligned with the Paris Agreement?

Let’s dig in with a 🧵/1

Super panel this morning at #CILC6 hosted @UniOsloHF. Wonderful to present on the #multimodal representation of #hope in #climate news discourse with my even more wonderful supervisor, Ljiljana Saric. Particularly loved Ed Rutledge's talk on ecolinguistic approaches to #CLIL

Feeling this in the Norwegian mountains for sure. "Spring skiing" conditions have come far too early.

[Scott Duncan @ScottDuncanWX]

Truly outlandish.

Some places in Europe didn't just record their warmest February on record.... They went on to beat their warmest MARCH temperature levels.
