Spring usually arrives in Stockholm around 20/3. 2021 it arrived on 19/2. In 2020 on 15/2.
Yesterday Sweden recorded its warmest Feb temp ever +17°C.
Now we're so used to heat records that unusually cold weather (not records) or even just normal cold weather gets more attention.

School strike week 151. This Friday we are in a tree plantation in Sápmi, Northern Europe. This used to be a forest, but after it was cut down forest companies have planted an invasive tree species that grows faster than the local ones. 1/7

So in the year 2021 Europe chooses to meet its energy demand by building a pipeline to transport more fossil fuels from the ones responsible for this. Shameful on so many levels. #FreeNavalny twitter.com/nytimes/status…

School strike week 152 on a clear cut in Sápmi. The #EUForestStrategy is presented today. They’ll continue allowing clear cuts and call burning forest biomass “renewable” - worsening the climate- and ecological emergencies, ignoring indigenous rights and demands

"Norway, the UK and Canada are not climate champions. They are climate hypocrites."
These nations "all plan to keep producing fossil fuels, investing in new projects and explorations."

The greatest activists of today are the ones who are actively - or passively - supporting the status quo by avoiding real and meaningful climate action.
The struggle to maintain business as usual is probably the most successful and powerful activist movement ever.

June 2021 was the hottest June ever recorded in my hometown Stockholm by a large margin. The second hottest June was in 2020. The third in 2019.
Am I sensing a pattern here? Nah, probably just another coincidence.

Or could it be that they... I don't know... maybe just don't really care? And that they are doing everything in their power to maintain business-as-usual and delay real change for as long as they can get away with it?

This may come as a complete surprise to some of you, but there are people speaking other languages than English:) And for that reason social media platforms have translate buttons. They work brilliantly. You should try it sometime - to connect outside the English-speaking world. twitter.com/GretaThunberg/…

But the emissions are not included in the UK emissions.
This loophole is unfortunately what many international climate targets rely on. 1/3 news.sky.com/story/climate-…

Everyone seems to agree that "drastically reducing deforestation and systematically restoring forests and other ecosystems" is what we need to do.
Yet... we are doing the exact opposite - locking in decades of further destruction. And no-one seems to even care or notice. twitter.com/UNBiodiversity…
