I hear many say “2019 was the year when the public woke up to the climate crisis”. This is a misconception. A small but rapidly growing number of people have started to wake up to the climate crisis. This has only just begun. We’re still only scratching the surface.

The air over the huge Tanguro Farm is on average 5 degrees Celsius hotter than in the forested reserve that adjoins it. Deforestation creates what one scientists calls “a giant change to the water and energy balance. The climate shifts.” #ClimateCrisis e360.yale.edu/features/amazo…

How do we find a way to communicate this, without causing panic, or worse / resignation?

The correct "12 years" claim: We have 10 yrs, 5 months, 4 days until we must cut global emissions in half for a 50/50 chance to stay under 1.5°C of mean global heating according to IPCC SR1.5 Many scientists, including me, feel this underestimates irreversible global change
Seriously - we have to realise our strengths lie with our 1) voice, 2) vote and 3) WALLET!! Did you #BoycottAmazon on prime day? Or every day?

👉Amazon CEO @JeffBezos is the richest man in the world 👉Amazon abandoned it's 100% renewable energy pledge in 2017 for billion dollar partnerships with oil & gas corps 👉Now he's openly planning an escape route from the planet he's helping destroy 🤔 cnb.cx/2YTPD45
