How big is the CO₂ bucket for 1.5°C? Well, the bucket is about to overflow in a few short years, unless we: 1. Turn off the tap (urgently) 2. Put a hole in the bottom to remove CO₂ (negative emissions) #COP25 #CarbonBudget @FutureEarth @gcarbonproject globalcarbonproject.org/carb…

“As scientists we have spent years telling policymakers that we must change course, but they haven’t taken action…Surely scientists have a moral duty to join the masses, and rebel for life.” bit.ly/2UKg1wd

We scientists must rise up to prevent the climate crisis. Words aren’t enough | Claire Wordley and...

Our profession has been great at raising awareness. But this alone won’t succeed against the might of the oil and gas lobbyists, say Claire Wordley and Charlie Gardner

Climate change denial prevents effective action on emissions, and leads to other lies and evasions by our leaders who support big coal and other polluters. Our government hit a new low point this...
