"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?

“UN says global carbon emissions set to rise 16 per cent by 2030”
This is what betrayal looks like. Whatever our so-called “leaders” are doing, they are doing it wrong.

"None of the world's major economies - including the entire G20 - have a climate plan that meets their obligations under the 2015 Paris Agreement"
This is of course excluding huge parts of our emissions and aspect of equity. Not even then are we on track.

“Brazil sure did not start this crisis, but your leaders are adding a lot of fuel to the fire. Just because the leaders of the global north have failed, that is no excuse for Brazil not to take a different path.”

"We believe our unextractable numbers are likely underestimates (too low for achieving 1.5°C)"
says author @st_pye
Remember: this is for a 50% chance of us staying below 1.5°C with a high reliance on carbon removal. Also it doesn’t include aspect of equity or historic emissions. twitter.com/CNN/status/143…

The EU discuss its so-called "climate targets" in an event "presented by Shell".
It's hard to picture a better way to summarize our current situation. If nothing else, at least it's refreshingly honest. twitter.com/POLITICOEurope…

"The science is unequivocal; a global increase of 1.5C above the pre-industrial average and the continued loss of biodiversity risk catastrophic harm to health that will be impossible to reverse."
Over 200 health journals call for urgent climate action.

Politicians and political partys are lying us straight in the face. There's no party that is doing nearly enough. They're failing us.
Only voting won't be enough. We need to be active democratic citizens to safeguard basic living conditions. See you in the streets September 24th. twitter.com/Luisamneubauer…

Banning "fossil advertising" is of course a good start. But if we are to avoid the worst consequences of the climate crisis we cannot just strive to be "fossil free", but free from all greenhouse gas intense practices.
There's no room left for loopholes and non-holistic thinking.

”Even if we stop all emissions from non-food sectors (energy and industry) today, food emissions alone would take us well beyond 1.5°C by 2100.”
But sure, let's just leave this to the consumers to take care of by "voting with their wallets"... twitter.com/ProjectDrawdow…
