"Air pollution caused by the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil was responsible for 8.7m deaths globally in 2018, a staggering one in five of all people who died that year"

According to a new UN report the national targets (NDC) made so far put us on a path to achieve only a 1% reduction of greenhouse gases by 2030.
I’ll repeat that; 1%.
Our leaders are failing mankind completely. And media is letting them get away with it.

"A court on Wednesday ruled that the French state failed to take sufficient action to fight climate change"
Congratulations to those involved!
It's so obvious nations aren't even close to meet their own very insufficient goals that it holds up in court.

School strike week 192. This is not a “happy earth day”. It never has been. #EarthDay has turned into an opportunity for people in power to post their “love” for the planet, while at the same time destroying it at maximum speed. #PeopleNotProfit #FridaysForFuture #ClimateStrike

I really wonder what the next step will be.

We should abandon the illusion that politicians will come to the rescue of planet Earth, especially those who delight in calling themselves climate leaders. Time and again they have betrayed the faith that has been placed in them.

"How long do you honestly believe people in power like you will get away with it? How long do you think you can continue ignoring the climate crisis, the global aspect of equity and historic emissions without being held accountable?"

If only leaders were as good as taking real action as they were giving speeches... then we would be way out of danger by now.

Finally we can reveal the cover for the Climate Book! The Warming Stripes graphic by @ed_hawkins on the cover shows the dramatic heating of the planet in recent decades. The book contains essays from over 100 leading experts and voices. It will be released this October.

This basically sums up our current situation. The “code red” IPCC report came out a week ago. Since then not one politician has been held accountable. Not one politician has been asked how they are going to act in line with this. 1/4

the longer we pretend we can solve the climate- and ecological emergency - without treating it like a crisis - the more precious time we will lose. And this is time we do not have.

If we delay emission cuts we “will miss a brief and rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a liveable and sustainable future for all.”
Every sentence describing the new #IPCC report is completely life changing. Literally everything is at stake.

"Bolsonaro has approved a 24% cut to the environment budget for 2021 from the previous year’s level, just one day after vowing to increase spending to fight deforestation."
Oops... it's almost as if our "climate leaders" aren't taking this seriously.

It’s quite easy to understand why the world’s top emitters of CO2 and the biggest producers of fossil fuels want to make it seem like they’re taking sufficient climate action with fancy speeches. The fact that they still get away with it is another matter… #UNGA

On World Autism Awareness Day, I want to draw attention to children with diagnoses. I have therefore started a fundraiser for @MinStoraDag . If you are able, please support my fundraiser by donating. Together we make a difference for these children!

Without any binding commitments to rapidly and immediately reduce greenhouse gases, the world stands no chance to deliver on the 1,5°C limit, and by doing so minimising risks of uprooting the life supporting systems we all depend on and endangering countless human lives.
