In coronavirus lockdown, nature bounces back – but for how long? That depends on the political pressure we put on our leaders. So far the biggest environmental change is in our perception of what is possible. https://t.co/WhyS0RTQwA By me.

As the economic slow-down due to the coronavirus pandemic shutters industry, air pollution and carbon emissions are dropping. A lot of people have asked what this means for carbon emissions and climate change. Here is a short explainer. (thread)

An action plan to push industry #emissions down from 33% of global GHGs in 2014 to #netzero by 2070: “We don’t need any fantastical new ideas for things that don’t exist at all today" - @jeffrissman (via @JustinGerdes) https://t.co/KrrzyORpMp

[David Wallace-Wells @dwallacewells]

While COVID-19 is playing out more quickly than the effects of global warming, the principle is the same: if you wait until you can see the impact, it is too late to stop it. https://t.co/JtgtoMsuYk

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

A common question I'm getting these days is, what does #COVID19 or #coronavirus have to do with climate change? The short answer is, very little; but the long answer is, everything is related. This thread explains ...

Good morning! While you drink your morning coffee, take a look at our latest @E3G study, in which we take a deep dive into the trends shaping the future and assess whether Germany's economic and political system are ready for them. #Davos

tl;dr - Germany isn't ready. Here's why:
