We are campaigning to stop Papua New Guinea from opening a coal mine and power station. Website and our FB page

Even if CO₂ emissions decreased annually as much as during the pandemic lockdown, we wouldn't achieve our climate targets.

While individuals made huge sacrifices, the system remained. This shows that individual action will not solve climate change. We need the system to change.

[Prof Nick Cowern @NickCowern]

Perhaps we should stop saying that we are in a climate emergency when actually our civilisation is under attack by fossil fuel interests and their media enablers, while governments are doing next to nothing to protect us.

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

Renewables could overtake coal as the largest source of electricity generation for the first time ever as soon as 2024 ⚡️

This is even earlier than expected, but reaching this milestone will require favourable weather conditions ➡️ https://t.co/JEtUigMpIs

Everyone needs to become a climate activist because what is happening in Maui, what’s just happened in Rhodes, Norway, Sicily, China etc, is just the beginning. This graph is by the university of Reading. It’s real. We really are in an unimaginable, unprecedented emergency 🚨

[Stret Pasin 🌴🥥☕️✈️ @Stret_Pasin]

Climate change is real. Nobody ever imagined such a disaster hitting Hawaii. The Pacific needs to be prepared. No more compromises. Protect the environment at all costs.

@AusAmbClimate The international development policy is ok we guess. The real problem is Australian domestic climate policies. The complete state capture of the Australian govt by gas corporations is making your international climate engagement literally and metaphorically toxic.

[Scott Duncan @ScottDuncanWX]

Officially confirmed.

July 2023 was Earth's hottest month on record.

[Nogat Coal PNG @NogatCoal]

This decline in gas demand has serious implications for PNG economy and GDP going forward. It probably won't factor into FID for the #PapuaLNG project but we need to be aware that the gas era might be a lot shorter than expected.

There’s a single statistic everyone in the world should know this summer: fossil fuel subsidies are ten times greater than climate finance.

“The era of global boiling has arrived”

Exxon did this. Shell did this. TotalEnergies did this. PetroChina did this. Chevron did this. BP did this. Gazprom did this. Coal India did this. Saudi Aramco did this: Just 100 companies caused 71% of man-made global warming emissions

@stone3Clare @RiverSoulUSA @rgatess These idiots watching Alpine glaciers melt away and making stupid comments like "I'm fRoM tEXaS AnD wE cAlL tHaT SuMmeR"

[Nick Feik @NickFeik]

Is anyone in government seeing this?
You might as well sack the entire climate and environment bureaucracy if all they’re doing is justifying inaction.

[Ben Goldsmith @BenGoldsmith]

We need a majority of people to know 5 things, which they largely do not:

1. Pollution from oil, coal and gas is heating the earth and causing dangerous weather.
2. All the climate scientists agree.
3. We must move quickly if we are to save a livable climate.
4. There are exciting solutions available right now, most of which save money.
5. Big polluting companies knew, lied, and stopped action. They need to pay to clean up their mess.

[Dr Thomas Smith 🔥🌏 @DrTELS]

What are tipping points?
They are processes whereby a system experiences a shift in state when a threshold in its conditions (caused by forcing) is breached. The shift is relatively rapid & if you reverse the forcing, the system does not return to its earlier state.

A severe marine heatwave has emerged off the coast of Florida as water temperatures have soared into the 90s.

Multiple buoys in Everglades National Park are reporting water temperatures as high as 95°F (35°C).

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

Um, this chart is from @BMcNoldy at the Univ of Miami. It shows incredibly hot--almost hot-tub hot--ocean water.
He said: "I'm not sure I've ever seen the water around Florida look like this...at any time of year."

Route 218 (Storm King Highway/9W) in Orange County, New York/#HudsonValley has sustained catastrophic damage.

A summer’s worth of rain fell in a single day.

@pollyjhemming We believe either Indonesia or Newcastle, NSW. Mayurs MD has bragged about sourcing the cheapest he can find so they may buy from the spot market.

NRL and State of Origin legend DARREN LOCKYER celebrates breaking ground for the Mayur Resources COAL POWER PLANT that will be part of his Central Cement and Lime project in Central Province #PNG. 29th June 2023 #ClimateEmergency

[Nogat Coal PNG @NogatCoal]

The July '22 Feasibility Study from @MayurResources has been thoroughly greenwashed so that the word "COAL" does not appear anywhere in it. However you can still see diagrams of a coal burning kiln and references to "solid fuel (imported)" that could only be coal.

[Nogat Coal PNG @NogatCoal]

This is the correct order of events. Step one is you decarbonise absolutely everything you can. Only once that is complete should you consider offsets.

[David Ho @_david_ho_]

"Consumer food behemoth Nestle SA is getting out of the offset market and putting the money it would have spent on those credits toward cutting emissions in its supply chain and operations." 👀
