CO2 capture is a failed technology.
“The very industry that should be paying for cleaning up emissions is instead pocketing billions in public money that should go to transitioning to renewables.”
Carbon capture is not the answer to the climate crisis https://t.co/mpbQagbe2b

Do you like Saffron?
Sorry…this is yet another thing disappearing. Too dry and hot in Iran, who produces 90% of saffron.
Harvest is down by half due to the Climate Crisis #foodapocalypse
In a village of Serres, northern Greece, the #foodapocalypse has already arrived. The wells have gone dry, grapes became dessicated into raisins on the vine, and olive trees produced the tiniest of olives, which fell to the ground.
This is not a climate fiction novel. The world is about to go hungry.
Ironically, the name of the village in English translates into “The Vineyards”
Oops there goes the climate🍌🍌🍌
8 billion people cannot be fed in a drought, flood, heat, pesticide and soil crisis. This is your #foodapocalypse
(Chinese bananas destroyed by typhoon)

Desperate residents of Naxos, Paros and other Aegean islands hold church ⛪️ services to pray for rain as yields of potato and other crops drop by more than 70%. The entire east of the country, including where I’m based, hasn’t seen rain in months. Welcome to your #foodapocalypse
A caregiver laments:
“No one talks about how sad covid can be when you work in a nursing home. Seeing it spread like wildfire and nothing we can do to stop it. Everyone please test before you go and visit your loved ones.”
Actually there’s SO MUCH that can & SHOULD be done! 🙁
British Columbia Canada today. Climate change is increasing the overall frequency and intensity of atmospheric rivers because a warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture. We know this is because of carbon primarily from oil, gas and coal trapped in our atmosphere. We have to stop expanding the problem.
Before I was a nurse I volunteered with LGBT+ refugees and asylum seekers, and one of my roles was to proofread evidence statements to the home office for grammar.
I remember reading stuff that still gives me nightmares today, and yet the claims were still rejected.
