Antarctica has lost 10 times the size of Greater Los Angeles in ice over 30 years https://t.co/vfCQPmQHYs

The decision at #COP28 to finally recognize that the climate crisis is, at its heart, a fossil fuel crisis is an important milestone. But it is also the bare minimum we need and is long overdue. The influence of petrostates is still evident in the half measures and loopholes included in the final agreement.

Fossil fuel interests went all out to control the outcome, but the passionate work of millions of climate activists around the world inspired and motivated delegates from many nations to loosen the industry’s grip.

Whether this is a turning point that truly marks the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era depends on the actions that come next and the mobilization of finance required to achieve them.

We must ask ourselves how much longer will the world have wait before all nations summon the political will to overcome these narrow special interests and act on behalf of the future of humanity. It is up to all of us to hold our leaders accountable to their promise to transition away from fossil fuels once and for all.

Nothing happening at @COP28_UAE . We need to cool the planet and phase out fossil fuels. Cryo people, please sign this petition from @ICCInet Pam Pearson https://t.co/Z91zDlgbQB

Today, Greenland officially has three new glacier names!

I’m tremendously thankful to all the stakeholders who helped make this happen, especially Oqaasileriffik (🇬🇱 Language Secretariat). We’re all quite excited to introduce these toponyms to the world!

NISAR - a joint @nasa-@isro earth observing mission - will collect revolutionary #glacier #ice motion #interferometry data in #Antarctica starting in early 2023.
