"We believe our unextractable numbers are likely underestimates (too low for achieving 1.5°C)"
says author @st_pye
Remember: this is for a 50% chance of us staying below 1.5°C with a high reliance on carbon removal. Also it doesn’t include aspect of equity or historic emissions. twitter.com/CNN/status/143…

“Brazil sure did not start this crisis, but your leaders are adding a lot of fuel to the fire. Just because the leaders of the global north have failed, that is no excuse for Brazil not to take a different path.”

"This agricultural support damages people’s health, fuels the climate crisis, destroys nature and drives inequality by excluding smallholder farmers, many of whom are women, according to the UN agencies."

"None of the world's major economies - including the entire G20 - have a climate plan that meets their obligations under the 2015 Paris Agreement"
This is of course excluding huge parts of our emissions and aspect of equity. Not even then are we on track.

“UN says global carbon emissions set to rise 16 per cent by 2030”
This is what betrayal looks like. Whatever our so-called “leaders” are doing, they are doing it wrong.

"The global average temperature will rise 2.7 degrees Celsius by century’s end even if all countries meet their promised emissions cuts"
And we're of course far from reaching even these highly insufficient targets. How long will we let this madness go on?

It’s quite easy to understand why the world’s top emitters of CO2 and the biggest producers of fossil fuels want to make it seem like they’re taking sufficient climate action with fancy speeches. The fact that they still get away with it is another matter… #UNGA

In the German Rhineland, six further villages are planned to be destroyed to expand the largest coal mine of Europe. This is absurd. Today we visited those defending the villages and fighting for the coal to stay in the ground. We are standing with you. #AlleDörferBleiben

“I think naivety and childishness are sometimes a good thing.” The great thing about youth, she says, is you’re not blinded by realpolitik and the assumption of compromise. “I do think older people make things more complicated than they actually are.”

The climate crisis is an accumulative crisis. Our CO2 emissions stay in the atmosphere for up to a thousand years. Being on the list among the biggest historical emitters certainly doesn’t speak to your advantage as “climate leader”. twitter.com/CarbonBrief/st…
