I’m building a social gaming platform that empowers young people to play an active role in the fight against global warming and biodiversity loss.🦧🐨🌳

If this sounds exciting/impactful to you, and you’re interesting in learning how you can help, drop me a line!💚

Don't love your job? Drop everything and switch to climate now.
Nothing more fun than building the future we want to live in and literally everyone is hiring left and right.

Perspective: Lithium we mine today and that we'll need to mine by 2050 compared to other major mined materials today like Iron, Aluminum, and Copper. Measured in kilotonnes.

Great visual.

WOW! The young people suing Montana over the right to a livable climate just won their case!!!!!

This is absolutely HUGE and will open up the floodgates for more climate lawsuits.

The law has become a powerful tool in our fight against fossil fuels. https://t.co/nRGJHJM5pM

Happy 111th birthday to this little one

Come as you are to the movement for a livable world. Optimistic? Mad as hell? Amped? Heartbroken? Alarmed?

Given the stakes, don’t most of us alternate between those emotions and more on any given day? I do, and let it drive my work. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Time for a bit of climate hope.

Solar power is the fastest growing energy technology in history, and wind is not far behind.

This graph shows how rapidly different energy technologies expanded after reaching their first exajoule of energy production, on a logarithmic scale.

I've met many people who say that California's 2020 orange sky day was the moment they understood what a warming world really looks like.

It was a wake up call. Some changed careers. Others got politically involved.

Maybe this week is that moment for people on the East Coast.

Everyone got the memo that we're supposed to reduce our emissions by half in 7 years, right?

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Did you know that reducing heat-trapping gas emissions doesn't just slow climate change: it also improves our health; saves food, water, and money; and keeps us safer?

Climate solutions aren't a necessary evil: they're a 'no regrets' strategy for a better world.

1989 Shell group planning scenarios — really important read (it’s brief, too)

[Ben Franta @BenFranta]

And here's a better link: https://t.co/9wRqPvvKNR

[Ben Franta @BenFranta]

"Something as simple as a moderate change in rainfall pattern disrupts eco-systems, and many species of trees, plants, animals and insects would not be able to move and adapt."

"The changes would, however, most impact on humans," @Shell went on...

[Ben Franta @BenFranta]

Compiled by @VatanHuzeir, the latest cache of internal documents describing Big Oil's concealed knowledge of global warming is a gold mine.

One bombshell is a confidential @Shell scenario report from 1989 which imagined two futures: SUSTAINABLE WORLD and GLOBAL MERCANTILISM 🧵

[Michael Thomas @curious_founder]

Clean energy critics often argue that addressing climate change will require too much mining.

So I looked into the data.

I found that our current fossil fuel economy requires 535x more mining than a 100% clean energy economy would.

“Solar panels can make use of depleted land and help offset a farm's energy costs. They also preserve groundwater and help with crop growth.” https://t.co/P7dLQdb5kL

the ipcc report at its simplest: the world has 12 years to cut carbon pollution by two-thirds (but emissions are still rising)

[Ajit Niranjan @NiranjanAjit]

germany's best-known climate activist has called for its transport minister to resign for having failed to cut greenhouse gas pollution in line with its climate law or come up with a credible action plan to meet the targets next time, as the law requires https://t.co/hqPKMJygav
