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.

If this is how you act after declaring a "climate emergency" then maybe everyone hasn't fully understood the meaning of that term... twitter.com/Independent/st…

A big shoutout to all exploring and extracting fossil fuel companies who are going “net zero 2050” for showing the true value of this “target”. This could save us many coming years of government greenwash!!

”We are pushing nature to its limits. /…/ We are creating conditions in which epidemics flourish” - Dr Mike Ryan from WHO telling it like it is.
This is exactly the clarity we need from world leaders in order to bring real hope to the world. #FaceTheClimateEmergency twitter.com/rice_e/status/…

Even if you are only 15 years old, then 30% of all global fossil fuel CO₂ emissions since 1751 have occurred in your lifetime.
This really shows the historic responsibility of our current leaders. twitter.com/neilrkaye/stat…

"The time has come to voice our fears and be honest with wider society. Current net zero policies will not keep warming to within 1.5°C because they were never intended to. They were and still are driven...to protect business as usual, not the climate."

In 2010 our leaders signed "ambitious goals to protect wildlife and ecosystems”. By 2021 they'd failed on every single one. Each day they choose not to act. Instead they sign more “ambitious" non-binding future goals while passing policy locking in destructive business as usual. twitter.com/GretaThunberg/…

"The global average temperature will rise 2.7 degrees Celsius by century’s end even if all countries meet their promised emissions cuts"
And we're of course far from reaching even these highly insufficient targets. How long will we let this madness go on?

"The combined wealth of the world's 10 richest men rose by $540bn during the pandemic, according to Oxfam.
The charity claims this amount would be enough to prevent the world from falling into poverty because of the virus, and pay for vaccines for all."

Tomorrow the European Parliament will decide whether fossil gas and nuclear will be considered "sustainable" in the EU taxonomy. But no amount of lobbyism and greenwashing will ever make it "green".
We desperately need real renewable energy, not false solutions. #NotMyTaxonomy

But, hey! Our leaders have set up some vague hypothetical targets decades into the future full of loopholes and based on incomplete numbers - so we can all continue to ignore the consequences of our actions, pretend everything is all right and go back to sleep! twitter.com/tveitdal/statu…
