I don't know whose banner this was at the Big One but it is stunning and should be shared as widely as possible. Please retweet. 💚🌎

We are in far more trouble than most people understand. It’s insanity that most people are not familiar with this graph because what it shows will define the rest of all of our lives #climate

The average American emits more CO₂ in one week than an average person in low-income countries does in one year.

[Rob Hopkins @robintransition]

The UN said a couple of weeks ago staying below 1.5 degrees is now impossible unless we see "a radical transformation of society". So all the papers ran with headlines like this. None ran with "how about we have a radical transformation of society?" Sounds far preferable to me..

This amazing piece from the NY times vividly depicts the realities of living through extreme heat ,and how the wealthy can insulate themselves from it while others must struggle through its horrific impacts.

A gentle reminder that if we missing the 1.5°C target (and we will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C.

Today, we’re launching the world’s first standard target setting guidance for companies in the forest, land and agriculture (FLAG) sectors, covering corporate land-related emissions and removals.
🧵Here’s why this is so important.

Let's be clear: the Pakistani people did not do this to Pakistan –– we all did, and the high-emitting nations are most responsible.

Unless we end our species' addiction to fossil fuels, every country in the world will remain in the crosshairs of the climate breakdown.

[Rob O'Hanrahan @RobOHanrahan]

You cannot attribute single, short-lived weather events exclusively to climate change.

You can, however, look at the broader trend over the last 140 years.

June 2022 was the second hottest June on record for the EU, and the hottest for the U.S.

This is what the world will look like over the next 100 years...if we do nothing. We have no time for business as usual.

No time to waste, no planet B. #ActOnClimate

Basic IPCC formula, in order
1) build massive amounts of (now cheap) sun and wind
2) Electrify everything to run on it
3) Conservation and efficiency
4) Research the hell out of the last hard stuff (planes, cement, etc)
5) Stop cutting down trees for cows (or anything else)
