James Hansen writes to UK:
“In leading the UK, as host to the Cop, you have a chance to change the course of our climate trajectory – or you can stick with business-almost-as-usual and be vilified in the streets of Glasgow, London and around the world.” theguardian.com/science/2021/f…

I still #StandWithFarmers and support their peaceful protest.
No amount of hate, threats or violations of human rights will ever change that. #FarmersProtest

"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.

“People say we are pessimistic and doomish. But activists are the ones who are really doing something and for that you need to be very optimistic. To be able to think you can actually change something.”

So in the year 2021 Europe chooses to meet its energy demand by building a pipeline to transport more fossil fuels from the ones responsible for this. Shameful on so many levels. #FreeNavalny twitter.com/nytimes/status…

“Australia's proposed gas pipelines would generate emissions equivalent to 33 coal-fired power plants”

"More than half of what we call ‘renewable energy’ actually comes from burning wood and crops."
You can help put an end to this madness by signing this petition. The EU Commission is asking the public to give their opinion by 9 Feb.

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.

Every single day leaders have the possibility to act, and yet they actively choose not to.
Instead they set up vague hypothetical pledges and commitments way into the future.
No more excuses.

Our house is on fire, and words and promises will not put out the flames, no matter how beautiful they may sound.

While racing for 2d place, he collided with a fishing vessel in the dark undetected by all instruments, 90nm from the finish line.
Still he managed to secure the boat and complete the race in top 5.
A true hero!

Congratulations my great friend @borisherrmann on finishing top 5 in the toughest race on earth! Solo nonstop around the world.
We couldn’t be more proud of you! Welcome home! #VendeeGlobe2020

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.

Solo nonstop around the world. Tonight the first boats in @VendeeGlobe return to France. After 44000 km and 80 days only mins and hrs separate top 5. And my good friend @borisherrmann is one of them! While carrying along scientific equipment to measure oceanic CO2...
A true hero!

”64% believe the world is in a state of climate emergency”
according to @UNDP in the largest global survey on climate ever made. 1.2 million people in 50 countries participated.
Most interesting:
”just 10 percent believe world leaders are doing enough.”

"If the commitments of lowering all our emissions by 70%, 68% or even 55% by 2030 actually meant they aim to reduce them by those figures then that would be a great start. But that is unfortunately not the case."

"Right now more than ever we are desperate for hope. But what is hope?
For me, hope is the feeling that keeps you going, even though all odds may be against you. For me hope comes from action not just words. For me, hope is telling it like it is."

"The combined wealth of the world's 10 richest men rose by $540bn during the pandemic, according to Oxfam.
The charity claims this amount would be enough to prevent the world from falling into poverty because of the virus, and pay for vaccines for all."
