@mcannonbrookes @Grok_Ventures @AGL Now that’s what leadership looks like. @elonmusk PTA Boys should know (and do) better.

Stoked to listen to ⁦@TomSteyer⁩ tonight and be be part of the Climatebase fellowship! https://t.co/GLaAH5aPXh

@tim_cook Democratizing climate change information is critical to achieving temperature goals. Making them only accessible to the wealthy is not ok. #YouthClimateAction

[Neil van Niekerk @SANeilvN]

We should all grateful for this, most eloquent, plea on our behalf.

[Neil van Niekerk @SANeilvN]

The global average temp now 1.2°C above pre-industrial levels (WMO) and rising by 0.2-0.25°C per decade. Paris goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. So at best, the world has two decades to go but at worst less than one.

The first 2°C LEAF climate sensor Beta-Test data set is back from Mt. Rainier...carried by scientist/climber Amber Little. We hope these data sets will inspire others to collect data from other remote areas! Find out how you can participate at https://t.co/arCWnDMLAl

If we ignore the warnings, we are complicit in the demise.

Emissions from food alone could use up all of our budget for 1.5°C or 2°C

This is pathetic greed.
There is simply not enough time to debate the science. It is the time for drastic and immediate action to prevent suffering the worst effects of climate change, with less than ten years to do it.

REVEALED: How Exxon held back climate action for decades, and is still doing it today. We went undercover with Exxon’s lobbyists to expose the truth. Watch and share.

[Neil van Niekerk @SANeilvN]

Running out of time.

Climate Change and in particular here sea temperature rise, not only affects the migration of species but also that of diseases.

Amazing to me that there is any counter argument.

[NASA Earth @NASAEarth]

The top warmest years happened this decade. Here is the seasonal cycle in global temperature anomalies from 1880–2020. Each line shows how much the global monthly temperature was above or below the global mean of 1980–2015. #NASA #climate #science https://t.co/NxcTsaeTWD

@FCousteauOLC Love it mate.

@neiltyson Is that not the definition of faith?
🤣oops

@realDonaldTrump Probably wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t defunded the team responsible for searching for Coronaviruses!

Science needs more Data! We can ALL Collect Data!

@ABC While Millenials and Gen Z continue their #KardashianSleepwalk ...their civil liberties are being eroded, democratic institutions weakened and base populist urges are being empowered despite the smartest minds on the globe are telling them to WAKE UP!

@TheDailyShow Am I the only one to see it?

[Neil van Niekerk @SANeilvN]

@nprfreshair @itscaitlinhd Thank you for your efforts to protect these children! As an adult immigrant myself, I could not imagine this process for families who are unable to easily navigate the system. Truly disappointed by this administration and it’s lack of empathy towards the far, far, less fortunate.

[Neil van Niekerk @SANeilvN]

@IMKristenBell @ChasingCoral @netflix Thank you!
This is the most important message right now.
Without leadership leading the way we must all be ambassadors to the environment.
