”Prof Bill McGuire, for instance, from UCL, told me: ’The obvious acceleration of the breakdown of our stable climate simply confirms that - when it comes to the climate emergency - we are in deep, deep s***!’”

”Even if we stop all emissions from non-food sectors (energy and industry) today, food emissions alone would take us well beyond 1.5°C by 2100.”
But sure, let's just leave this to the consumers to take care of by "voting with their wallets"... twitter.com/ProjectDrawdow…

Sweden is heading for an unprecedented heat record. The national annual temperature average 2020 will be 7.5°C. That’s about 2.8°C (!!) above 1960-1990 baseline. And 0.6°C (!!!) above previous record from 2014. These numbers are literally off the charts.

I made a video where I talk about some small things we ALL can and should do to stop the climate crisis.
We are in this together, and everyone is needed. YOU get to decide what future you’ll live in.
So please watch, share and start doing your part today!

Everyone seems to agree that "drastically reducing deforestation and systematically restoring forests and other ecosystems" is what we need to do.
Yet... we are doing the exact opposite - locking in decades of further destruction. And no-one seems to even care or notice. twitter.com/UNBiodiversity…

"That we live in a post-truth society today, and that we don't care, that we have lost empathy. We have stopped thinking long-term and sustainable. And that's something that goes much deeper than just climate crisis deniers."

June 2021 was the hottest June ever recorded in my hometown Stockholm by a large margin. The second hottest June was in 2020. The third in 2019.
Am I sensing a pattern here? Nah, probably just another coincidence.

"On current trends, the probability of staying below 2°C of warming is only 5%, but if all countries meet their nationally determined contributions and continue to reduce emissions at the same rate after 2030, it rises to 26%"
As if a 26% chance was good.

Our leaders say we need to stop deforestation, restore nature and plant trees to save the climate and biodiversity. Yet, basically everywhere they're doing the exact opposite. And - since the general level of awareness is almost nonexistent - they keep speeding up the process... twitter.com/dwallacewells/…

"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…

Humanity is moving further and further into unchartered territory for us. This in itself is unprecedented, but what is even more unprecedented is the speed at which it's happening. And we keep accelerating.
In other words; join the climate justice movement. twitter.com/co2_earth/stat…
