Prominent climate scientist, Dr Friederike Otto, Imperial College London, has a simple message for #Cop28.

“Climate change is already destroying lives, livelihoods, and ecosystems around the world. Until we radically cut carbon emissions, extreme weather events will become more frequent and intense. That means there is a human rights imperative to phasing out fossil fuels.

“Despite their carefully crafted, green-washed talking points, fossil fuel companies will not save the world...." Read more...

I didn’t realise that Matilda was #australia’s answer to Greta but I do now. All these new laws to stifle protest that the state governments have introduced show the power of the fine hand of the fossil fuel lobby.

Maybe it is time we shifted our focus from fossil fuel companies to the reality that our political leadership (globally) has let fossil fuel companies drive the the short term decisi(ns we get - rather than the those needed for a healthy environment in which our world and all its inhabitants can flourish?

If our politicians had the strength of character to resist the temptations (including but not limited to $) offered by the #FF sector, and make decisions based on the abundance of evidence available to them, the fossil fuel sector would be nothing like the problem they are today.

During the lifetime of many people alive today, vast regions of our planet will become significantly more hostile to human life.

2 billion people will be exposed to extreme heat in a world warmed by 2.7 degrees.

Most of the excess atmospheric heat from climate change is passed back to the ocean. 🌎🔥🌊

As a result, upper ocean heat content has increased significantly over the past few decades.

"The era of global warming has ended; the era of global boiling has arrived." says Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary General in launching a new World Meteorological Organisation report on record high July temperatures, #Heatwaves and climate signals. A powerful speech calling for leaders to lead in accelerating #climateaction, phase out #FossilFuels.

Full transcript and video, plus six graphs from the #WMO report.

Through the burning of fossil fuels, humans have released more carbon into the atmosphere than is contained in all of the plants currently living on Earth.

More than half of this has occurred since 1990.

We are transforming the Earth and the atmosphere on a truly massive scale.

Reforestation, and other natural solutions, will never match the scale of the problem without substantial emissions reductions.
