Why is individual action* on climate change and the destruction of nature so powerful and important?
Well, imagine yourself at a concert or party where you've had a couple of drinks, the music's getting good... but nobody's dancing

Scientists from around the world worked on the latest IPCC report for almost a decade.
But according to leaked documents, many of their recommendations were removed or altered significantly.

If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would try to figure out what's wrong.
When humans do it we put them on cover of Forbes.
PRESS RELEASE
There are multiple, feasible and effective options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions & adapt to human-caused #climatechange available now, said scientists in the latest #IPCC#ClimateReport released today.

Tomorrow, IPCC will release another report. I’ve summarized it in plain English:
It’s getting worse and we’re heading to 3°C of warming or more. We must ban new oil, gas and coal immediately and electrify everything to #ActOnClimate much, much faster
This is quite simply amazing yet at the same time, we all really need to slow down here.
There's beauty in being able to do something, but integrity in choosing not to when it doesn't serve a net +ve outcome.
We don't have 20/20 foresight, but if we slow down, we predict better

I asked HustleGPT if it had a message for everyone on Twitter and not gonna lie the grift is real.
Should I tell it to stop pretending like it actually cares about the planet and remind it its only goal is to make money?
If average global temperatures increased by 2°C, coral reefs would almost completely disappear.
But it is still possible to limit global warming to 1.5°C with rapid & deep emissions reductions.
We must #ActNow to take #ClimateAction & protect our future.
