All over the world environmental defenders are being threatened, arrested and even killed. We who are privileged must raise our voices to speak up against these human rights violations. This is outrageous.

Sweden’s government collapsed today. From a climate perspective, this is huge. We may soon have a completely new line up of empty words and promises to look forward to!
But first we’ll need to seriously bunker up with coffee and småkakor for all the fika and talmansrundor. #svpol

"BP is planning to drill for fossil gas on the edge of the world’s largest cold-water coral reef."
I guess this is the latest addition to the UK's "Green Industrial Revolution" and "Build Back Better" campaigns.
It looks promising so far...

This is the temperature change globally from 1850, in Sweden from 1860 and in the Arctic Ocean from 1893.
It seems we're almost running out of colours...

It would be very interesting to see this from a (rough) per capita perspective, of course including consumption if possible.

Every year we measure higher and higher levels of CO2, since our emissions are cumulative and stay in the atmosphere for up to 1000 years.

The Swedish forest industry (often referred to as the "tree plantation industry") say that they're "deeply concerned".
Lol.

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

The G7 leaders really seem to be having a good time presenting their empty climate commitments and repeating old unfulfilled promises.
#G7UK #MindTheGap

The climate and ecological crisis is rapidly escalating. G7 spends fantasy amounts on fossil fuels as CO2 emissions are forecast for 2nd biggest annual rise ever.
This calls for steak-and-lobster-BBQ-celebration while jet planes perform aerobatics in the sky above the G7 resort!

"For the first five months of the year, the data show deforestation was up 25% compared with a year earlier, with 2,548 square km destroyed - an area more than three times the size of New York City."

"Yes, planting new trees can help. But intact wild areas are much better. The world needs to treat warming and biodiversity loss as two parts of the same problem, a new report warns."

High income nations donating vaccines to low- and middle income nations (once they've vaccinated most of their own populations) might be seen as a nice gesture. But it sure isn't solidarity. #VaccineEquity twitter.com/OurWorldInData…
