This approach is one of the main reasons why we are still in this mess. The exact same arguments were in my own school books. This is what children are taught today. twitter.com/GeorgeMonbiot/…

This is very important to keep in mind when we talk about temperature anomalies. We need to see the holistic picture, the context and know what baseline we are using. As we shift baseline (like now to 1991-2020) we should also use older ones as reference. twitter.com/extremetemps/s…

Sweden today confirmed its shortsighted, racist, colonial and nature-hostile approach. Sweden pretends to be a leader for environment and human rights, but at home they violate indigenous rights and continue waging a war on nature. The world will remember this.

"Popular debate has often pitted ‘behaviour change’ and ‘system change’ against each other, presented as a trade-off between two choices. As this chapter illustrates, however, system change and behaviour change are two sides of the same coin."

”Germany's Constitutional Court ruled Thursday that the country's 2019 climate protection act is in part unconstitutional.”
Everywhere around the world we see layer upon layer of incomplete targets and insufficient action. Little by little it’s starting to become exposed. twitter.com/dwnews/status/…

"It (the IEA report) is a sequel of the La La Land movie. Why should I take it seriously?" says the Saudi Energy Minister.
Wow. We're clearly witnessing the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era. They're starting to panic.
Let's speed up the process.

"at least $1.8tn of environmentally harmful subsidies is heading in the wrong direction, financing the annihilation of wildlife and global heating through support for cattle ranching, pesticide use, the overproduction of crops and fossil fuel extraction."

Not to mention how media so often fail to tell the stories of the most affected people in the most affected areas whose suffering mostly goes unheard.

Smittan ökar och nya rekommendationer införs. Följ dem!
Det är orimligt att skolor stängs, att redan hårt pressad vårdpersonal får ytterligare ökad arbetsbörda och ännu flers liv & hälsa riskeras för att ett fåtal inte tar sitt ansvar. Undvik resor. Bär munskydd. Håll avstånd.

So to summarize, very insufficient to stay below 1,5°C for an oil company if you look at the full picture, but still a very interesting start that could have a big snowball effect. Hello stranded assets...

New documentary exposing the myths of the so-called "sustainable" Swedish forestry model. This case study is however far from unique to Sweden.
It shows how flawed the world's climate policies are in practice. moreofeverything.org

"If Norway also continues to drill as planned, the total emissions from its known oil and gas reserves will amount to roughly 15 gigatons CO2, according to CICERO, a Norwegian climate research institute. That would eat up 6.5% of the remaining carbon budget for the whole world."

As long as we continue to ignore the actual content and the root causes of the climate crisis we will not be able to avoid the worst consequences. And by doing so we are giving a death sentence to countless of people, especially in the most affected ares. 3/4

Less than one third (!) of Sweden’s total CO2 emissions are included in our climate targets, and we’re not even close to reaching those targets…
How can we solve - or even discuss - a crisis if we ignore more than two thirds of the problem?

It's time to stop thinking fossil fuels companies will save us. The planet does not bow to denial or wishful thinking. Our policymakers and investors need to fully grasp the truth that our future does not lie in supporting dirty energy like @Total
