"Everyone should understand climate change at a very basic level as it will impact us all (if not already) in the coming years. We all need to understand what’s happening to our world so we can hold leaders to account and make changes in our daily lives." -@k_legzz

I don't know about you, but if my house was on fire I'd want the police to spend a little less time trying to silence the fire alarm, and a bit more time chasing the arsonists

Don’t know if you’ve heard, but it’s only 100 days to @COP26

How can everyone on here still tweet stuff that's not about climate?

Why wait? 🤔 #climateaction #2050startsnow

Great point made by Kirsten Leggatt @k_legzz at the Engineering Climate Conference. "We cannot reach carbon zero without passing the carbon tipping point." @ICEScotland @IetScotland @EngineeringScot

[Kirsten Leggatt 🌍 @k_legzz]

Oh well, missed the target. 🤷🏻‍♀️

What happens now? Are there any penalties? 🤔

Nope. 😶

Don’t they know there’s a climate emergency? #embarrassing

"If we actually want to stop climate change, then this must be the year in which we get serious about doing so." 🌍

Happy #EarthDay Today we celebrate our planet and how far we’ve come in protecting it. There’s still more to do, but it’s easy to forget just how much progress has already been made. Whilst our leaders gather for Biden’s virtual climate summit, take a breath and appreciate Earth.

Taking a domestic flight from London to Edinburgh in the midst of a climate and ecological emergency is not what leadership looks like...

“For me, justice and hope are inextricably tied together.”
