First Gigaton Seaweed-CDR

Seaweed Farms in the Global South to drawdown carbon & secure climate justice & generational prosperity for farmers & communities. #climate #cdr #seaweed

[Chris Tolles @chrismtolles]

TLDR we are, in fact, not focusing too much on carbon removal

[Ben See @ClimateBen]

Remember:

1) cataclysmic +2°C of global warming will occur any time between 2029 and 2061 barring an extraordinary set of events

2) ecosystem repair, non-industrial food production, and care for species and billions in need - this is the work to organise now

Spread the word.🧵

Climate change: how bad could the future be if we do nothing?

I developed this table of impacts for my book 📕 ‘Climate Change: A Very Short Introduction’ based on the @IPCC_CH 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022 reports

Beyond 1.5°C #ClimateChange impacts gets worse and worse

[Sophie Corrigan @SeaweedSoph]

Seaweed farms are expanding globally & offer a potentially sustainable food source 🍜👩‍🌾

But what are the environmental impacts?

My PhD assesses how UK farms impact biodiversity & may provide new 🏡 to fish & invert species 🦀🐟

Canada is on fire.

Meanwhile, Norway is going ahead with 19 new oil drilling projects, Biden approved Willow, and Trudeau ramps up fracking. Global leaders are approving fossil fuel expansions that will add gas to the fire.

BREAKING: we just fully shut down a fundraiser headlined by U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.

Schumer took $283,200 from NextEra. In exchange he greenlit the Mountain Valley Pipeline.

This is a death sentence for us. So we shut down his event. And we did not apologize.

Eight things the world must do to avoid the worst of #ClimateChange

5. Go #RenewableEnergy
6. Use energy more efficiently
7. Stop burning #FossilFuels
8. #ActNow

Thank you @democracynow for reporting on not just the smoke choking us from wildfires in Canada but also fossil fuel companies responsible for it & how our elected officials facilitate it w/ expansion of oil, gas & coal that causes climate change https://t.co/7pgyKEOlPi

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

Schumer has literally been accepting bribes in exchange for helping fossil fuel interests profit off of destroying our planet & collective future. This is ecocide. IT MUST STOP.

Climate activists are on the right side of history. I love to see this beautiful energy spreading!!

[Sophie Gabrielle @CodeRedEarth]

If you want to pit power against power - ie. ours vs theirs - then you have to be aware of what our power is.

good thread where Mr. Kalmus takes this on and discusses merging with working class movement -

[Tzeporah Berman @Tzeporah]

A reminder that fossil fuel companies Net0 pledges are meaningless and we need to stop pretending we can negotiate with them.

We need to start regulating them.

In @RishiSunak’s inbox today from @theCCCuk;

“Our children will not forgive us if we leave them a world of withering heat & devastating storms where sea level rises & extreme temperatures force millions to move...
None of us can avoid our responsibility.
Delay is not an option”

"A rapid reduction in fossil fuels, essential to avoid devastating climate breakdown, would have minimal financial impact on the vast majority of people, new research has shown." https://t.co/pXCXU73LUi
