Mangroves are superheroes.

They shield shorelines from storms & hurricane winds, create jobs and food security for coastal communities, and provide habitats for wildlife species.

It is vital that we work to protect and restore mangroves, for people and the planet.

We've breached the key 1.5C warming mark for a record number of days this year, with 2023 on track to be the hottest year on record - until next year

Yes, it's because we are burning more and more fossil fuels

We must stop this ecocidal madness

Global capitalism is the root cause of the climate crisis.

We need a new economic model - focused on degrowth - that our planet and it's people first!

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

“Ten years ago I was kicked out and forced to retire.”

Our new medicine laureate Katalin Karikó (@kkariko) told us how much it means to be awarded the Nobel Prize after a scientific career that has been full of challenges.

Ten years ago, Karikó was still doing all her experiments by hand but today she has been awarded the medicine prize for her research on mRNA, which led to the development of COVID-19 vaccines.

🌎 ❌ We are crossing more and more planetary boundaries.

Today, six boundaries are crossed. Two more are closing in on transgression.

Decisive policy action can change this as we have shown with the recovery of the ozone layer.

“We need leaders to take seriously that we are in a crisis. And when you're in a crisis, you have to be in crisis mode to deal with it.

The Elders strongly support phasing out fossil fuels.”

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The #GlobalGoals carry the hopes, rights & expectations of people everywhere.

And now they need a rescue plan.

Now is the time for leaders to keep their promise to build a world of health, progress & opportunity for all.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Today, I urged governments, businesses, youth, activists and members of civil society to think big & be ambitious to get the #GlobalGoals back on track.

This is not the time for incrementalism.

This is the time for transformation.

For the curious, here is my graph of global surface temperatures in 2023 compared to the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline, the 1991-2020 mean and the Paris limit of 1.5C.

Record low #Antarctic sea ice is finally making the headlines.

Here's why it matters, from last night's 10 o'clock news.

[Prof. Eliot Jacobson @EliotJacobson]

Code UFB!!!

In a year of weather records, yesterday was 0.92°C above the 1991-2020 mean and fully 1.75°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline.

Year-to-date the planet is now 1.37°C above the 1850-1900 baseline, with about a 50% chance to break the Paris limit for the year.
