Climate change isn’t a tragedy, it’s a crime.

In the 1970s, Exxon scientists predicted global warming with “shocking accuracy,” but the company went on to spend millions lobbying against climate action.

#EPA Says It Plans to Withdraw Approval for Chevron’s Plastic-Based Fuels That Are Likely to Cause #Cancer
—

The decision comes after a ProPublica investigation revealed that the EPA had found that one of the fuels had a cancer risk more than 1 million times higher than the agency usually considers acceptable.

Brad Adams (Climate Rights International) on the growing hypocrisy of rich governments on the right to protest:

'Governments too often take such a strong & principled view about the right to peaceful protest in other countries – but when they don’t like certain kinds of protests at home they pass laws & deploy the police to stop them'!

Its easier to defend the right to protest at a distance... but then again, the West hypocrisy has a long history!

‘Scared as hell’: Climate scientists risk jobs, jail to save dying planet…

❝Kalmus remains disappointed with people, he says. He thought we’d have more courage, more fortitude, more compassion and love for each other and life on Earth. “It’s like a nightmare,” he explains, that judges, world leaders, corporate leaders and people on the street “don’t understand that we’re in an emergency, … that everyone’s still acting like things are normal”.❞

This keynote presentation by Professor Stefan @rahmstorf for the #Potsdam institute on #climate science is equal parts incredible and terrifying.

Here, Prof Rahmstorf shows the consequences of a changing Atlantic ocean current for Europe, and how the impact of this has been previously under-estimated.

The window of opportunity we have to arrest CO2 before we reach irreversible tipping points in climate is closing fast.

We're all species at risk.
We need our leaders to take concrete action to tackle the climate emergency, which includes halting new fossil fuel development and implementing a rapid, just and equitable phase-out of existing fossil fuels.

We must abandon the flawed notion that the climate emergency is an isolated issue; global heating, though catastrophic, is merely one symptom of a profound environmental crisis of ecological overshoot.

Since 1990, the world has lost more than 420 million hectares or about a billion acres of forest and humans continue to cut down 10 football pitches of forest every minute of every single day.

Governments need to build resilience against extreme weather, droughts, and floods.

Intact forest landscapes and other nature areas are our safety net, protecting people against extreme weather and climate crisis impacts.

Figures like this one from Carbon Brief are what make me optimistic that our society is ALREADY on the path to being much greener.

This is the distribution of the fossil/non-fossil fuel mix for electricity for every half hour in a year in Britain, and it's absolutely clear that a HUGE shift away from fossil fuels is taking place.

Yes, there's lots more to do, but we are already making great progress. We just need more of the same.
