People in power are now trying to act responsibly, saying lots of beautiful words. Everyone seems to forget that they are the ones responsible for putting us on a pathway towards a several degrees hotter and destabilized planet.

Sedan 2016 har statliga @sveaskog avverkat en yta stor som Öland.
"De håller på att ta allt nu, i snabb takt. Jag ser det som att vi inte har något val. Det vi gör är inte aktivism, det är en skyddshandling."

Bara 1/3 av Sveriges totala CO2 utsläpp inkluderas i statistiken och i våra klimatmål. Hur ska vi kunna lösa - eller ens diskutera - en kris som vi ignorerar 2/3 av?
Oerhört hoppfullt att det här äntligen granskas och kommuniceras!

Since the Paris Agreement was signed 5 yrs ago, G20 states have subsidised fossil fuels by more than 3.3 trillion dollars.
Only *2%* of their financial support after the pandemic has gone to clean energy transitions.

Today I got my first COVID-19 vaccination dose. I am extremely grateful and privileged to be able to live in a part of the world where I can already get vaccinated. The vaccine distribution around the world is extremely unequal. 1/2

According to New York Times; “84 percent of shots that have gone into arms worldwide have been administered in high- and upper-middle-income countries. Only 0.3 percent of doses have been administered in low-income countries.” 2/3

No one is safe until everyone is safe. But when you get offered a vaccine, don’t hesitate. It saves lives. #VaccineEquity #VaccineForAll

Less than one third (!) of Sweden’s total CO2 emissions are included in our climate targets, and we’re not even close to reaching those targets…
How can we solve - or even discuss - a crisis if we ignore more than two thirds of the problem?

This is very hopeful and groundbreaking journalism. I urge journalists in countries around the world to do the same research. This is a problem far from unique to so-called “progressive“ countries like Sweden… This is a crucial first step to start addressing the crisis.

Today is #WorldOvershootDay - the day when we've used up the world's resources for 2021.
On national levels this date varies a lot. In my country Sweden it occurs on April 6th. We're not just stealing the future - we're also stealing the present from other parts of the world.

Om vi behövde mer bevis för att klimatkrisen helt ignoreras; när ökade extrema väderhändelser avlöser varandra så granskas Sveriges "klimatmål". De visar sig vara vetenskapligt helt otillräckliga, fulla av kryphål & bara 1/3 av våra utsläpp inkluderas. 1/n

Inte en enda medieplattform tar upp nyheten, inte ens en notis. Ingen debatt följer.
Hur ska vi kunna "lösa" klimatkrisen eller ens diskutera den om sånt här helt ignoreras?
Detta var nog det slutliga beviset på att medias "intresse" bara är tomma ord. Vi bara låtsas bry oss. 2/n
