Interesting that this also includes the emissions from burning the petrol they sell.
Reminder: the idea of cutting CO2 emissions 50% by 2030 is based on an IPCC CO2 budget which gives us 50% chance to stay below 1,5° excluding most feedbacks, tipping points, aspect of equity etc. twitter.com/CNN/status/139…

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/…

"Det spelar ingen roll för klimatet om kändisar t.ex slutar flyga."
Med samma logik har det inte heller effekt på pandemin att kändisar ska #kavlaupp .
Det stämmer förstås inte. Vi är sociala djur och härmar andras beteende - särskilt dem vi ser upp till.

Our leaders say we need to stop deforestation, restore nature and plant trees to save the climate and biodiversity. Yet, basically everywhere they're doing the exact opposite. And - since the general level of awareness is almost nonexistent - they keep speeding up the process... twitter.com/dwallacewells/…

"The climate- ecological- and health crisis are all interlinked. But we no longer see the links between them.
I would like to connect the dots. Because let's face it - if we don't change, we are f*cked."

"Tillsammans med den finska premiärministern skickade Stefan Löfven krav till von der Leyen, bland annat om att ta bort alla referenser till så kallat ”naturnära skogsbruk”."
"Föregångsländerna" Sverige och Finland lobbar för lägre krav på skogsbruk i EU.

Yes, we are all responsible for the climate- and biodiversity emergency. We - the 99,9% - have a responsibility to put pressure on the 0,1% in charge who refuse to stop the ongoing destruction of present and future living conditions for life on earth. #MindTheGap #BiodiversityDay

Being fat-shamed by Chinese state owned media is a pretty weird experience even by my standards. But it’s definitely going on my resume.

“The current and near-future ice loss will be largely irreversible. That’s why it is high time we rapidly and substantially reduce emissions from burning fossil fuels and restabilise the ice sheet and our climate.”

Sorry to rain on the parade, but “according to the IEA, the total land area devoted to bioenergy production would need to increase by 25% to reach 410 million hectares in 2050, an area the size of India and Pakistan combined.”

"Anticipating future large-scale removals allows for more gradual decarbonization and thereby reduces pressure on near-term emission reduction action."
It's very hopeful that this debate is getting more attention and that the awareness is increasing.
