Freedom of speech and the right to peaceful protest and assembly are non-negotiable human rights. These must be a fundamental part of any democracy.

"If Norway also continues to drill as planned, the total emissions from its known oil and gas reserves will amount to roughly 15 gigatons CO2, according to CICERO, a Norwegian climate research institute. That would eat up 6.5% of the remaining carbon budget for the whole world."

"Norway, the UK and Canada are not climate champions. They are climate hypocrites."
These nations "all plan to keep producing fossil fuels, investing in new projects and explorations."

A small piece of advice for humanity:
when you're in a hole - stop digging.
A crisis created by lack of respect for nature will most likely not be solved by taking that lack of respect to the next level...

Shell plans to expand their fossil gas production by over 20%.
But hey!
Someone will end deforestation and create a new magic forest the size of Brazil, completely unaffected by the sustainability crisis that'll forever remain a giant carbon sink.
That's the beauty of "Net Zero". twitter.com/SimonLLewis/st…

"Det är vansinnigt att ge enorma subventioner till något som förvärrar klimatproblemen."
Rapport efter rapport efter rapport ogiltigförklarar Sverige och EUs miljö- och klimatpolitik i grunden.
Varenda möjlig kolsänka måste maximeras, men vi gör tvärtom.

"Regrowth takes time the world does not have to solve climate change”
Over 500 scientists tell world leaders, to stop treating the burning of biomass as “carbon neutral”.
”You can help end this madness.”

And as if 2°C rather than 1.5°C was acceptable...
If you needed more proof that our so called "climate targets" are insufficient.

"On current trends, the probability of staying below 2°C of warming is only 5%, but if all countries meet their nationally determined contributions and continue to reduce emissions at the same rate after 2030, it rises to 26%"
As if a 26% chance was good.

"The world’s state-owned fossil fuel companies are poised to invest about $1.9tn in the next decade in projects that would destroy any prospect of meeting the Paris agreement climate goals."

Everyone seems to agree that "drastically reducing deforestation and systematically restoring forests and other ecosystems" is what we need to do.
Yet... we are doing the exact opposite - locking in decades of further destruction. And no-one seems to even care or notice. twitter.com/UNBiodiversity…

Science and democracy are strongly interlinked - as they are both built on freedom of speech, independence, facts and transparency.
If you don’t respect democracy then you probably won’t respect science. And if you don’t respect science then you probably won’t respect democracy.

So nice with real, cold winter in Sweden.
Still, todays average temp for Nth Hemisphere is +1°C above 1979-2000 baseline.
Daily charts like these from University of Maine should be in all daily news. This is a global crisis and needs holistic reporting.
