“...people were suggesting planting trees in natural grasslands, savannah, and tundra. I think that would be a terrible mistake because, as our results imply, there is a very large potential to increase soil carbon storage in grasslands."

“I’m more than disappointed/.../to spend these trillions of dollars and not use this occasion to reverse the trends and massively invest in the green economy will be an unforgivable lost opportunity.”- @antonioguterres

The European Parliament once again betrayed present and future generations, failing to #VoteThisCAPDown
We're drowning in promises and speeches but every time they can do something concrete, they fail.
Every. Single. Time.
But the worst part is that they seem to get away with it. twitter.com/Europarl_EN/st…

The fact that the responsibility to ”fix” this falls on people who constantly cheat and sweep things under the carpet in order to benefit themselves is frightening beyond comprehension. But even more scary is the fact that media completely ignores it, letting them get away. 4/4

"Europe’s directly elected representatives now have to choose: they can either save the EU’s “climate targets” with their legislative loopholes or they can begin saving our climate, because right now, that is not what EU targets are working towards."

Reality puts the tech discussion into perspective. Of course we can't do this without technology. But, needless to say, it will not be the whole solution. #MindTheGap twitter.com/dwallacewells/…

Nature-based offsetting that relies heavily on land use in the Global South and in Indigenous lands risks shifting responsibility for emissions made by Global North countries to those already struggling with the impacts of the climate crisis and are least responsible for it.

“Many scientists are growing increasingly frustrated, as it produces a conservative and sometimes watered down document that many feel does not reflect the urgency and shocking nature of the threat.”

“EU is far from that goal. A tracker launched in/…/2021 to monitor progress shows that, as of 15 June, the EU has planted/.../not even 1% of the three billion goal.
That means there are 2997053985 [trees] left to plant in the next seven and a half years.”

Tonight @isabelle_ax, @EllJarl and I will meet with the EU commissioner for the environment and oceans Virginijus Sinkevičius @VSinkevicius to discuss the climate- and ecological emergency and the fairytale of the so-called "sustainable" Swedish forestry. #StopFakeRenewables

“Forestry and bioenergy criteria have moved from being science-based to being Sweden-based”
Being referred to as the opposite of science is a clear sign that you're doing something wrong...

This Taskforce, and other schemes like it, are scams that could trash the goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1,5°C.
We are a part of nature. If we protect nature, we protect ourselves. We do not protect ourselves with dangerous climate lies like offsets.

Fossil gas and burning trees for energy will play key part in EU's so-called "Green Deal".
A leak shows the EU is surrendering to lobbyists - giving up on fulfilling their promises and on the Paris Agreement.
