England and Wales had warmest February on record

Farmers say they are losing crops to floods while less frost hurts the growth of trees like apples and pears.

This is the driving force behind CCAG's 4R Planet strategy that aims to provide one clear pathway towards a safe and manageable future for humanity.

We must:

⬇️ REDUCE greenhouse gas emissions
❌ REMOVE greenhouse gases at scale
🔨 REPAIR parts of the climate that have passed tipping points
💪 Build RESILIENCE to the effects of the climate crisis

Good news: UK emissions in 2023 fell to lowest level since 1879

The UK’s GHG emissions fell by 5.7% in 2023 to their lowest level since 1879 according to @CarbonBrief

BUT drop was due to reduce gas demand and unrelated to deliberate climate action

Politicians are failing us abysmally on the #ClimateCrisis. Can comedians step up and save the day?

Watch the heroic Jo Brand give it a proper shot with scientist @ProfMarkMaslin 🔥

If this doesn't prompt revolution, what will? Please share far and wide!

Been quite a few #geographerinthenews over Xmas, first up @ProfMarkMaslin @UCLgeography on @LBC talking to @SteveHReports about #climatechange

[Ed Miliband @Ed_Miliband]

Every household in Britain is paying higher energy bills because of Rishi Sunak’s staggering failure to end the onshore wind ban

The Conservatives have artificially inflated energy bills and made the UK’s energy system dependent on fossil fuel dictators

Going #NetZero creates wealth

Green projects are boosting UK growth - CBI report

The transition to a greener economy is worth £71bn and has brought jobs and investment to parts of the UK experiencing industrial decline. https://t.co/myRI8NmVn1

Thanks Glen! All fellow climate scientists here at COP28 agree with our point in the Nature article that current warming is about 1.3C - but the current draft Global Stocktake text incorrectly says “warming to date” is 1.1C (based on 2011-2020 average)!!

#ClimateChange: if warming approaches 2°C, a trickle of extinctions will become a flood

This is why @COP28_UAE matters to biodiversity

1.5˚C puts 15% of species at risk

2.5˚C puts 30% of species at risk

OPEC tells member countries to veto fossil fuel phase-out at @COP28_UAE in leaked letters

OPEC has 16 countries,
80% of oil reserves and produced 40% of oil in last decade

Global #climatechange action most oppose OPEC

The Seven Stages of climate denial:

1. It's not real
2. It's not us
3. It's not that bad
4. Do you want us to live in caves!
5. It's too expensive to fix
6. Here's a fake solution
7. It's too late: why didn't you tell us?

@COP28 denies reality of #ClimateChange

[Damian Carrington @dpcarrington]

- @RishiSunak says his weaker net zero targets show he is “not in hock to the ideological zealots”

> presumably he means the zealots at the @IPCC and @IEA, i.e. the world's scientists and the world's governments

[Ed Miliband @Ed_Miliband]

Great to be at COP28 with @Keir_Starmer and @DavidLammy today.

Our message to world leaders is that with a Labour government, Britain will be back on the world stage as a climate leader.

Rishi Sunak has trashed our reputation- it is time to win it back.

@RishiSunak has flown to @COP28_UAE having announced rollback of #climatechange policies.

UK has lead World for over 30 years in dealing with climate change - until now 🛑

Rishi gets D minus as he does not understand economics, energy security or politics

Beef is the new smoking. Ban or limiting it is essential to deal with #ClimateChange
