“We will see the collapse of the global economy” -- @Sir_David_King

The #climatecrisis will devastate some of the world’s largest and most prosperous cities, with far-reaching consequences.

This will begin to happen within 5-10 years, unless we act now.

Canada 🇨🇦 has done it again...

We just observed the hottest December day on record in British Columbia. Tying the all-time national Canadian December highest temperature.

This weather station beat its previous December record by a monstrous 8°C. Jeepers.

Living within planetary boundaries means on a basic level: 1) seeking to live with nature, not policing it, 2) living more locally in every aspect of our lives, whether that’s food, work, social, holidays etc, 3) dramatically reducing our consumption of goods and services,

We must change our growth mindset. Personally, professionally but most importantly as a society.

"The GDP figures we’re using to measure economic success also measure the rate at which we're barrelling towards climate catastrophe"

I set out the case for moving to a #WellbeingEconomy in first-ever Commons debate on the issue

[Dan Green @danm_green]

To be clear, we must change our growth mindset to one of sufficiency, trying to understand what is sustainable. In other words we need to live within our planetary boundaries. https://t.co/UYH179ZKgS

The UK gov know they aren’t doing enough to reduce carbon emissions…

Good grief. This afternoon, the Home Office just slipped even more amendments into the Police Bill - too late for proper parliamentary scrutiny. They include this one, clearly aimed at @XRebellionUK.
They are shutting down our freedoms, in batches.

Three Decades of Climate Mitigation

What have we achieved?
* 60% rise in fossil CO₂ emissions
* Half of all fossil CO₂ emitted (since 1990)
* Developed countries dominate CO₂ emissions per person

Read why... https://t.co/w9ZVNONHRx

[Dan Green @danm_green]

Sign these - this is how we make a change

Really nice visualisation as to whether global warming is human-made or not…

@gordon_struth @KevinClimate @Arup @ArupGroup Ah yes thanks. I’m new to Twitter!

[Dan Green @danm_green]

Had the pleasure of having @KevinClimate at @arup Manchester office delivering the same talk (but with Uk context). The upshot: we need to seriously look at the IPCC carbon budget which, when accounting for equity shows we have 8-14yrs GHG emissions left.

[Nikki Tagg 🍃💚🍃 @NikkiNama]

Excellent talk about the radical changes we must make in the realm of energy by @KevinClimate.

Wildfires… they happen because we have lost our connection with nature. Refer to bbc podcast: https://t.co/S9YJgrQkqV

Hey North America,

Half of the pollution you inhaled last year was from wildfires.

Warmest Regards,
Climate Change

[Glen Peters @Peters_Glen]

The OECD continues to have much higher fossil CO₂ emissions per person then the non-OECD, despite declines in the last decade.

Also worth noting global emissions per person have not changed much since the 1980s (only increased during the 2000s when China grew rapidly).

Happy 125th Anniversary to @TheBplTower. From structural inspections via rope access to advising on the tower’s refurbishment, we’re helping to ensure that this northern icon continues to delight locals and visitors for years to come! @BpoolCouncil

[Dan Green @danm_green]

Great opportunity to work with some great minds and collaborators. Well done!

@TPEassist Thanks KH, I don't envy your job, thanks for the patience.

[Dan Green @danm_green]

@TPEassist Thanks. What do to about today's wiper breakdown - how do we claim for a cancelled train when it only asks for delay?
