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/…

"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...

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

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.

"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."

"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."

"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."

”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.

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!

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.

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!
