I have just warned global leaders at #COP27:
We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator.
Our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible.
We need urgent #ClimateAction.
Environmental laws are under attack by UK Government, threatening the health of our ocean. Join us in demanding urgent, stronger protections from chemical pollution to protect wildlife, people and planet. Sign the petition to #StopOceanPoison today. @GOVUK
THE WORLD WAS WARNED
Yet another IPCC AR6 source (to the media) calling for immediate decline of global emissions. The media never reported it.

New study out of France says that the creation of a "double jet stream" due to global warming and the loss of jet stream stability is a major factor behind the heatwaves this year. The authors say Europe, in particular the UK and France, is over-exposed to this phenomenon.
Heatwaves are hitting the northern hemisphere, but the reality is that no nation is immune to the climate crisis.
Half of humanity is in the danger zone from wildfires, floods, droughts and extreme storms.
We can still avoid the worst - with urgent & ambitious #ClimateAction.
This is not “the new normal”. The climate crisis will continue to escalate and get worse as long as we stick our heads in the sand and prioritise profit and greed over people and planet. We are still sleepwalking towards the edge.
I wish everyone on Earth knew how genuinely "off the charts" key planetary trends are right now, and how abnormal and critical it is. Things like atmospheric CO2 fraction, heat extremes on land and ocean, biodiversity loss and extinction rates. All alarms should be going off
Fossil fuels are the cause of the climate crisis.
Renewable energy is the answer to limiting climate disruption and boosting energy security. https://t.co/ulSWo6YF7R
The wonderful @GretaThunberg tells Glastonbury Festival that we must take a stand, here and now, and stop the rich and powerful destroying our Earth support systems.
No one else is going to save us.
Climate change is real. It is happening right now. It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species, and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating.
#WhatHasChanged#ClimateChange
When reading the new #IPCC report, keep in mind that science is cautious and this has been watered down by nations in negotiations.
Many seem more focused on giving false hope to those causing the problem rather than telling the blunt truth that would give us a chance to act.
Chris Stark, head of the UK's Climate Change Committee says “Insulation, together with renewable power, is the way out of the current energy crisis”
@BorisJohnson ignored and imprisoned #InsulateBritain… will he shoot this messenger too?
