This week Norway awarded 61 new oil and gas exploration rights to 30 oil companies. Sweden's Lundin Oil was awarded stakes in 19 licenses.
It's 2021 and when it comes to facing the climate emergency the world is still in a state of complete denial.

New documentary exposing the myths of the so-called "sustainable" Swedish forestry model. This case study is however far from unique to Sweden.
It shows how flawed the world's climate policies are in practice. moreofeverything.org

"More snowfall during winter storms is an expected outcome of climate change. That’s because a warmer planet is evaporating more water into the atmosphere."
This should of course be basic, common knowledge by now, but apparently it isn't...

This news is neither abstract, far into the future, irrelevant nor hard to understand - which are the usual excuses for not covering the climate emergency.
And yet it's not dominating the news. In fact it barely gets a mention. This is an active choice that sends a clear signal. twitter.com/GretaThunberg/…

I highly recommend you to watch these 5 very educational short films on feedback loops by @climateloops
To avoid the worst consequences of the climate crisis it's crucial to spread awareness and understand how these very complex and fragile systems work.

2020 was the hottest year ever recorded - NASA.
The last 6 years have all been the hottest on record.
We’re in a climate emergency and the changes needed are still nowhere in sight. The only ones who can change that are us.
Spread awareness. Be the change.

It's a huge problem that nations are failing to meet their climate- and ecological targets.
The main problem however, is the fact that their targets are completely insufficient in the first place.
We can't solve a crisis without treating it like a crisis.

SVTs nya grepp verkar vara att helt enkelt hitta på saker jag sagt och gjort. Jag har självklart inte gett Dalai Lama ”en hemläxa”. Men det blir ju självklart fler klick när man skriver så istället för att jag tipsade tittarna om vad man bäst kan göra för att skapa förändring...

In 2010 our leaders signed "ambitious goals to protect wildlife and ecosystems”. By 2021 they'd failed on every single one. Each day they choose not to act. Instead they sign more “ambitious" non-binding future goals while passing policy locking in destructive business as usual. twitter.com/GretaThunberg/…
