I really wish the ubiquitous GHG #decoupling charts were better news than they are (as it would make things much easier) but unfortunately they fall foul of the 'fallacy of composition' and are fostering a dangerous complacency about climate change efforts. 🧵

While France is banning short-haul flights, the UK government is now promoting them, under the slogan 'Grow the Economy'
More like 'Kill the Living World'.
Policies like this, in times like these, will be recorded in the history books as ecocide.

🚨This isn't the ocean.🚨 It's devastating flooding in central NSW where water stretches as far as the eye can see.

Today, I confronted with UK 🇬🇧 Minister of Energy, Climate and Environment @ZacGoldsmith at #COP27.

I asked him, "When will you release those jailed climate activists your Govt. arrested for protesting to stop new oil & gas license across UK?"

He replied, "No idea" & run away!

Good to see this @bbcnickrobinson. I may have missed it but it would be good to clarify this on your show so the same audience has the right information.

[Nick Robinson @bbcnickrobinson]

After an interview I did with a Just Stop Oil campaigner I’ve been accused of being a “climate denier” & “green gaslighter”. I challenged her assertion that “EVERYONE agrees that “OUR govt’s decision to pursue new oil is a death sentence for millions around the world” 1/6

What a devastating thread

[ᴊᴏᴀɴɪᴇ ʟᴇᴍᴇʀᴄɪᴇʀ @JoanieLemercier]

When I was little I was determined to always protect nature, stand against 'bad people' to save forests, animals, wilderness. 🌳🌱🦝🦉

As I grew up my convictions slowly faded, and I've done literally nothing.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

A deeper connection with nature is vital for learning to better love, protect & restore it. Delighted my Bill on extending #RighttoRoam started its second reading in Parliament today @Right_2Roam @RamblersGB @openspacessoc

Predictable but still a shame. Change is a function of the speed of mindset change, not the pace dictated by science.

[FT Moral Money @ftmoralmoney]

Gfanz, the giant corporate climate alliance spearheaded by Mark Carney, has quietly dropped the hand-in-glove partnership with a UN-backed body that it had earlier touted as a guarantee of credibility.

Perhaps we should act on the lessons from #DontLookUp rather than re-enacting the scenes...

[Ajit Niranjan @NiranjanAjit]

during a talk show segment about the right way to protest a dutch activist glued himself to a table, called the media out for failing to report honestly on climate and ecology, and then during the commercial got carried off by security, still on the table https://t.co/tx1q8ZTzgn

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Atmospheric levels of the three main greenhouse gases - carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide - reached new highs in 2021.

We are headed for disaster.

We need urgent, large-scale & systemic #ClimateAction now.

Evidence of the blah blah blah

[Sophie Boehm @SophieBoehm]

Another year closer to 2030, & we find in the #StateOfClimateAction 2022 that, once again, climate action across sectors accounting for ~85% of GHG emissions falls well short of what's needed to limit warming to 1.5°C. See what's needed to get on track: https://t.co/HlIRqVYeBv.

FARCICAL EXCLUSIVE ALERT! If I wasn't the one to write this story, I'd think it was a wind-up.
Recall that massive £250m civil penalty DEFRA said it would let the EA levy against polluting water companies?
Well, not only has the EA NEVER used it against water firms... 1/3

[Dr. Robert Rohde @RARohde]

The current global capacity for carbon dioxide removal from the air is ~8,000 tonnes/year.

Coincidentally, ~8,000 tonnes/year is also estimated for the personal carbon dioxide emissions of the average billionaire.

The world has enough carbon dioxide removal for ~1 billionaire.

Following the Loire two months ago, dry river beds appear in the Mississippi. Will legislators everywhere just act together on the #climatecrisis please? #DontLookUp

[Charles Peek @CharlesPeekWX]

The #Mississippi River at record low levels in many areas. Here near #Tiptonville, TN people are walking and vehicles have been driving on dry river bed that would be totally under water in normal conditions. #MOwx #TNwx #ARwx #MSwx

@Peston So remove the whip from the previous two PMs? Assume that's unprecedented too?
