🧵 on the 22 things you should know about 2022, through the eyes of @niwa_nz's climate scientists
A family of five arrives to the emergency department with "the flu." They all have headache, nausea, vomiting, and generally feel unwell. You are about to discharge them when they let you know that even their dog is sick with "the flu"!
What do you think is going on? 🤔☠️

She was groomed by dark-money lobby groups working for Big Tobacco, Big Oil and foreign oligarchs. Now Liz Truss is in office and trashing this country on their behalf.
We are running out of time and I am running out of patience.

The collective voice of Indigenous Peoples in Brazil can be heard loudly and clearly: Stop the Amazon destruction and violence against the Guardians of the Forest!
“the peatlands there are mind-bogglingly important…sequester about 35 billion tonnes of carbon, equal to annual emissions from seven billion cars…the second-largest intact peatland complex in the world.

How extensive is deforestation in Amazonia, one of the most important places on the planet for people & wildlife? According to this map from @mapbiomas, the region has faced an onslaught of illegal deforestation at the hands of extractive industry over the last 3 years.
Ask one basic question...why has the global loss of nature not been considered as critical, if not more so, then global warming? Granted, the two may be 'two sides of the same coin', but loss of biodiversity is definately not treated with similar urgency. https://t.co/WpfbqxBNWl
