”I think we simply need to tell the truth. We should be adult enough to handle the truth. And the truth can be quite frightening in some ways – but it is also hopeful.”
Last week I had a long conversation with David Attenborough. You can read it here:

“Our livelihoods depend on a planet that is not on fire. We are an Arctic people and our culture is written in snow. But climate change means the snow will get less and less.”

”World’s governments plan to produce more than twice the amount of fossil fuels in 2030 than would be consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C”.
It can no longer be possible for politicians to get away with ignoring the gap between their words and action.

”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

"This is ‘sports-wash’– when heavily polluting industries sponsor sport to appear as friends of healthy activity, when in fact they’re pumping lethal pollution into the very air that athletes have to breathe, and wrecking the climate that sport depends on"

The climate deniers and delayers are so desperate and feel so threatened that they simply make up their own “quotes” from pure lies and fantasies. This is what I have said about systems and ideologies:

"Regrowth takes time the world does not have to solve climate change”
Over 500 scientists tell world leaders, to stop treating the burning of biomass as “carbon neutral”.
”You can help end this madness.”

But remember; as soon as we decide to treat the climate crisis like a crisis - everything can change overnight. We can still make the seemingly impossible possible. #UprootTheSystem 4/4

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.

Ikväll under partiledarutfrågningen ställde Eira makthavarna till svars på ett sätt ingen har gjort under den här valrörelsen. Det är skamligt att bördan att kommunicera den obekväma sanningen dumpas på era barn. Samhället och vuxenvärlden befinner sig i total förnekelse.

Sweden and Finland team up with the governments of Poland and Hungary to defend burning biomass for energy in the EU.
Can’t say that I’m surprised…

Today is #WorldRewildingDay
To protect, restore and rewild the living world is probably the most effective solution we have at hand to fight both the climate- and ecological emergencies.

This report is "a red alert for our planet" says UN Secretary General @antonioguterres
As long as this doesn't dominate the news we stand no chance of reaching the targets of the Paris Agreement and thereby securing future living conditions for humanity.
