The planet could be covered in solar panels and wind turbines but if fossil fuels are still being dug up and burnt it won't make much difference. Media coverage of climate is obsessed with renewables, but the only number that matters is fossil fuel production.
When cities try to figure out the amount of greenhouse gases they emit, they tend to undercount by an average of nearly 20 percent. Annually missed emissions are greater than California's total, a new study suggests. https://t.co/Cz1WJ75m18
Here we are, finally 1 week until the election. So much has happened this year, and 2020 has woken (and will continue to wake) many people up to the potential structural collapse of civilization as we know it. A pandemic and economic depression, hopelessness wildfires, lies... 1/
@AdaSteyerhart No reason to eat any animal products. I don't and so wish I'd stopped sooner.
If people don't care about cruelty to animals, maybe the planet is important to them.

August brought record high temperatures (until next year) across much of the Great American West.
This is the grisly future that our carbon emissions have cursed us with..... our future will be drier, hotter, and wilder than you expect—unless we take real climate action now.
Climate change is speeding up, and trees can't keep pace.
"Climate change is going to have these really dramatic effects on forests," he says. "We're going to lose a lot of forests."https://t.co/70g13zKZ4A
Because the world tonight is so interconnected, the coronavirus' impact on the economy will drag for many years on-and-off as countries struggle to deal with the fallout from COVID-19. We must prioritize the environment & clean energy in our global recovery—or else face collapse.
A lot of candidates say on their websites that #ClimateChange is an existential emergency, but it's never near the top of their agenda and none of them ever actually talk about it with the gravity and attention it deserves.
Preventing Civilizational Collapse is THE issue.
"Ou, 17, has become a target for the authorities who see that activism as a challenge to their control."
Support the brave @howey_ou in her climate activism.
If we don't have democracy, we have nothing.

“Currently, our CO2 levels are rising at about 2.5 ppm per year, meaning that by 2025 we will have exceeded anything seen in the last 3.3 million years.”

Scientists: we're heading for 2.5- 5°C of global warming within decades
Journalists: scientists still hope to limit global warming to 1.5°C or maximum 2°C
Scientists: in reality we're heading for 2.5- 5°C of global warming within decades
Journalists: scientists still hope...
Did you know?
1. If greenhouse gas emissions don't peak and fall sharply by soon after 2025, climate change will likely be severe enough to kill many billions by 2055.
2. Governments and corporations plan on increasing fossil fuel production well beyond 2025.
Let that sink in.
