[Bill Gates @BillGates]

In these challenging times, we can’t lose sight of the importance of combatting climate change. I’m excited to hear about how companies like @Microsoft are finding a way to play a role.

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Still waiting for the EU and individual democratic nations to officially condemn the police brutality and attacks on the free press escalating the USA.
For how long are we going to stand by, watch and say nothing?

[Bill Gates @BillGates]

Halting funding for the World Health Organization during a world health crisis is as dangerous as it sounds. Their work is slowing the spread of COVID-19 and if that work is stopped no other organization can replace them. The world needs @WHO now more than ever.

Interesting... so where’s the heavy tax on red meat and flying then? https://t.co/aT8GiFy4GJ

The human race never ceases to amaze me.

Scientists: you should wash your hands because of Coronavirus.

People: I'm gonna stop flying, hoard masks, work from home & totally rearrange my life.

Also Scientists: the #ClimateCrisis will kill millions - we must use clean power & change how we get to work.

People: No way.

[Paul Dawson 📚 @PaulEDawson]

Every year, the world's five largest publicly owned oil and gas companies spend approximately $200 million on lobbying designed to control, delay or block binding climate-motivated policy.

This is about the people vs. the elites.

School strike week 81. Thousands of people marched together for the climate in Brussels today! With young climate activists from all European countries present! #fridaysforfuture #climatestrike #schoolstrike4climate

[Extinction Rebellion Global @ExtinctionR]

Don't believe the hype.

Renewables get tiny subsidies compared to the vast spend propping up the fossil fuel industry.

That money could be spent on transition.

“The bottom line is that we knew the numbers would be big, but we were shocked at just how big.”

“this is a carbon time bomb and policymakers have to get to grips with this”

.@BBCWorld reports oil plans slowdown for exploratory research in Australia.

But WHY am I reading these two sentences in the same narrative. Dear Australian government what is going on in your mind?!

Purely paper: Mondelez trials its ‘world-first’ #plasticfree packaging in Australia https://t.co/5TD3BjigmK

[E. Tronstad 🌎 @e_tronstad]

This is amazing news!! So much of our unnecessary waste is more small leaps in convenience. It’s time to be smart.

[Heinz UK & Ireland @HeinzUK]

Starting March 2nd, we’re partnering with Tesco to remove all canned Heinz multi-packs in Tesco stores across the UK and Ireland, saving nearly 180 tonnes of plastic every year. Read more here https://t.co/UEBoq3T79R

.@Ecosia you write this on your website. Why not market yourselves directly as a carbon extraction company (as well as planting trees)? I think you will expand your market reach. It taps directly into the concerns of the public: too much carbon, how do we take it out.

[E. Tronstad 🌎 @e_tronstad]

Microsoft makes 'carbon negative' pledge.

Reading this just as my company posts a drive towards plant based options in the office with an assessment of the global impact of all food served. Such mobilisation brings hope for change.

Excuses for not driving clean energy adoption are slowly being beaten down.

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

People worry about how much land we'd need to supply the US with clean energy. Well, @elonmusk and I have independently calculated it and we both come up with something roughly comparable to the area we currently use for maple syrup or golf. A square about 100-120 miles per side.

[E. Tronstad 🌎 @e_tronstad]

It is HORRIFYING that in the face of the #AustralianFires, the total devastation. That the government openly supports the cause.

Our leaders drive us into despair because they lack the creativity to simply invest in new, non-damaging, industries to generate employment.

"Coal remains an important industry for Australia": @SenatorWong tells @PatsKarvelas she would not have signed up to Pacific leaders' demands for Australia to move away from coal #Insiders #auspol
