#ClimateChange is about consumption of the very richest people in our global society.

50% of global emissions are emitted by just 10% of the population.

90% of global emissions by 50% of the population.

We need to recognise climate justice to save our planet

Dear #ClimateChange deniers and bots

Over 99% scientist agree that #climatechange is happening and it is due to human greenhouse gas emissions

Stop telling everyone there is disagreement - as there is none!

The world is getting hotter 🌡 and it is us

The largest known arthropod ever to exist was Jaekelopterus rhenaniae, a giant eurypterid. Despite being a "sea scorpion," it actually lived in brackish to fresh water environments.

How much cleaner are the clean energy technologies such as renewables, electric cars, heat pumps, and hydrogen compared to the dominant technologies?

Significantly. Here’s a neat summary graph from @IEA’s Energy Technology Perspectives 2023.

@TrevorABranch Optimistic plot twist, they only offer it on the menu so if someone does end up ordering they can pull the "sorry, we ran out of the....."

In my reporting on clean energy misinformation I've seen one argument over and over.

Wind turbines kill birds.

While this is true, it misses an important piece of context:

Fossil fuel power plants kill 35x more birds per GWh than wind turbines do.

Please take 2 minutes out of your day and watch @PeteButtigieg perfectly articulate why Republicans behave the way that they do, and how it harms people more than it could ever help.

So well said, Pete. Thank you.

Bitcoin miners account for roughly 0.6% of all global electricity consumption.

Ghost crabs are a bit like a superhero crab with super powers. They are nocturnal, communicate with sound, change their color for camouflage using chromatophores (pigment cells like squid have), and have 360 vision. #ocean #crabs #invertebrate

Another story of ecosystems being destroyed and slave labor .... but wait it is in a plant based diet. @jocelynzuck . All food has environmental costs.

Experts including Dr Daniel Pauly recommend alternative [to Seaspiracy] documentaries to stream online if you want to learn more about the health of the ocean. https://t.co/i6kvqk5Mkz

[Luiz Rocha, PhD @CoralReefFish]

A lot of people asked me what I thought about Seaspiracy, and I finally watched some of it. It sensationalizes a real problem and presents a false solution for it. Here is a great article about it's flaws by Daniel Pauly: https://t.co/GCXpYA0hQr
