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.

"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...

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

”A leaked document showed more than 124,000 items marked as 'destroy' in just a week.”

"We must redefine our way of life and consumption."
This may seem radical, but it's nothing new. It has been stated in reports many times before.

Here's one of the main reasons why we're still not getting anywhere. When leaders...
- Make (insufficient) targets way into the future:
Lots of headlines and oh so hopeful!
- Get caught not even trying to reach those (insufficient) targets:
Silence.

As the commission failed to withdraw the CAP it's now up to the European Parliament to #VoteThisCAPdown
Otherwise we will lose another 7 years. If this doesn't change, reaching the goals of the Paris Agreement will be impossible. As the politicians responsible are well aware of. twitter.com/G_Schwaderer/s…
