Here is the updated global CO₂ annual growth rate (in ppm). This is the "first derivative" of the annualized global Keeling curve, taking into account the half-life of CO₂. We continue to go in the wrong direction & fast.

BREAKING: New report reveals pensions are the quiet culprits of climate chaos, with just 14 pensions investing nearly $82 billion in fossil fuels. Time to #divest for a climate safe future. @climatepensions @standearth Read the report bit.ly/QuietCulprit

We’ve used 2/3 of Earths high quality non-renewable energy and materials. What might we aspire to with the remaining ~1/3? #3rdWish

It's really striking that in all the research I'm reading right now on CDR and net zero and residual emissions, never once is the possibility raised that, maybe, industrial activity should be paused until we figure out how to run it without making global heating worse. 1/n

#OTD in 1865, the 13th amendment was ratified. But make no mistake: slavery in the form of prison labor still exists to this day. It’s time to #EndTheException that allows slavery to persist as prison labor. Pass the #AbolitionAmendment

When I talk about the climate crisis am talking about myself.This is where my mother works from, see how much they are loosing and the risk of me and my siblings not going to school 😭. How long am I supposed to stay in this anxiety? How can I adapt to this mental torture? 😭

If this is the scale of damage at 1.1ºC of warming, imagine what it will look like if we shoot past the 1.5ºC limit 🥴 And that's the road we're on, unless big banks follow the science: STOP funding fossil fuels. Send Canada's #FossilBanks a message >> act.gp/3DCOwcN

Burning trees is not a climate solution

The EU's "renewables miracle" looks a bit less miraculous when you find out that almost 70% of all renewable energy generation is from burning biomass. Of this, nearly 50% is from logged forests. In the UK, biomass is the 2nd biggest renewable source. Just astonishing

A very emotional event @ScienceMuseum Lates: business as usual in the background while the museum's sponsors, @Shell, Adani, BP & Equinor are fuelling the #ClimateCrisis. Inspired by @liberatetate’s “Human Cost” performance at @tate when it was sponsored by @bp_UK. #FossilFuels

IPCC 1.5C report: "Rates of human-driven change far exceed the rates of change driven by geophysical forces in the past. Even abrupt geophysical events do not approach current rates of human-driven change." An astonishing fact that we've been told is just the normal way of things

Today we must recognize that Thankstaking was designed to hide the ongoing genocide of Indigenous people, even in the present day. Indigenous lands and bodies have been brutalized and exploited for greed for the past 500 years.
