Our so-called “role models”indeed have some work to do. Pretty hard to “solve” the climate crisis without addressing this elephant in the room... #MindTheGap #ClimateJustice

We're destabilizing the planet. Meanwhile our leaders continue to destroy present and future living conditions - opening new pipelines, oilfields and investing fantasy amounts into fossil fuel infrastructure, despite all the beautiful words.

So it’s official. Unless the EU tear up their new #Fitfor55 package, the world will not stand a chance of staying below 1,5°C of global heating. That’s not an opinion, once you include the full picture it’s a scientific fact.

Yes, we are all responsible for the climate- and biodiversity emergency. We - the 99,9% - have a responsibility to put pressure on the 0,1% in charge who refuse to stop the ongoing destruction of present and future living conditions for life on earth. #MindTheGap #BiodiversityDay

Since the Paris Agreement was signed 5 yrs ago, G20 states have subsidised fossil fuels by more than 3.3 trillion dollars.
Only *2%* of their financial support after the pandemic has gone to clean energy transitions.

A friendly reminder: We can't solve the climate crisis without treating it like a crisis.
What does that mean?
It means we can't solve the climate crisis without treating it like a crisis. And to this day we never have. Not once. Not one single time. Ever.

"Most major news outlets still present climate change as no more important than a dozen other public issues, when the fact is that if the world doesn’t get it under control, fast, climate change will overwhelm every other issue."

”Approvals for companies to drill for oil and gas on U.S. public lands are on pace this year to reach their highest level since George W. Bush was president.”
We’re not only subsidising the climate and ecological crisis - we’re speeding it up. #MindTheGap

“Global greenhouse gas emissions are likely to rise to record levels in the next two years, as governments fail to ‘build back better’ from the Covid-19 pandemic.”

Ah yes, that "green recovery"...

The G7 leaders really seem to be having a good time presenting their empty climate commitments and repeating old unfulfilled promises.

Yes, China is still categorized as a developing nation by WTO, they manufacture a lot of our products and so on.
But that's of course no excuse for ruining future and present living conditions. We can't solve the climate crisis unless China drastically changes course.

"Biden Administration defends massive Alaska oil drilling project set to produce 590 million barrels of oil over 30 years."
This kind of puts quotes like "Listen to the science" and "Science is back" in a slightly different light...

When you compare the overall current best available science to their insufficient, hypothetical "climate targets" you clearly see that there’s a gap, there are decades missing.
Until we adress this gap, no real solutions will be found.
Let's call out the bullsh*t.

Yes, there are countless opportunities connected to taking real, bold climate action. But as long as we only treat it as “an opportunity” rather than the existential crisis it is we won’t get out of this mess.
We can’t solve a crisis without treating it like a crisis.

Many new emission reduction announcements have been presented lately. Here is a sobering reminder to put things in context...
We won’t be able to “solve” this crisis without facing the full picture. #MindTheGap #FaceTheClimateEmergency #NoMoreEmptySummits

"BP is planning to drill for fossil gas on the edge of the world’s largest cold-water coral reef."
I guess this is the latest addition to the UK's "Green Industrial Revolution" and "Build Back Better" campaigns.
It looks promising so far...
