“Many scientists are growing increasingly frustrated, as it produces a conservative and sometimes watered down document that many feel does not reflect the urgency and shocking nature of the threat.”

Logic tells us, the fact this is ignored - or in the best case treated as a minor news story - means:
-There's no crisis
-This is fine
-The science is inaccurate
-Scientist are hugely exaggerating
-Climate activists are crazy alarmists
No wonder there's no change in sight... twitter.com/GretaThunberg/…

Preliminary data show that the 2020 7% emission decrease is erased by a slightly weaker carbon land sink.
This is almost impossible to grasp... twitter.com/Peters_Glen/st…

This may come as a complete surprise to some of you, but there are people speaking other languages than English:) And for that reason social media platforms have translate buttons. They work brilliantly. You should try it sometime - to connect outside the English-speaking world. twitter.com/GretaThunberg/…

So let’s all join in spreading awareness. It could literally save lives. Autism is not a disease. It’s not something you ”have”. It’s definitely not ”caused” by anything like vaccine or diet. 6/7

This approach is one of the main reasons why we are still in this mess. The exact same arguments were in my own school books. This is what children are taught today. twitter.com/GeorgeMonbiot/…

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

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?

As the election in Sweden is getting closer, we need you. On the 2nd and 9th of September we will send a message to those in power that we will not be silenced! Only voting is not enough - we must raise our voices to demand change. See you there!

I am asking @TimmermansEU, @vonderleyen, @2021PortugalEU and @EUAgri to #WithdrawTheCAP
This CAP (EU’s common agricultural policy) will lock in 7 further years of climate- and environmental destruction.
Your legacies are at stake.

However, it's becoming painfully clear that no real change will happen until this dominates the news so that the Business-As-Usual-Activists can be held accountable. Now they can get away with anything since the climate- and ecological crisis doesn't exist in the public debate.

Fossil gas and burning trees for energy will play key part in EU's so-called "Green Deal".
A leak shows the EU is surrendering to lobbyists - giving up on fulfilling their promises and on the Paris Agreement.

Richest 1% in Sweden emit about 43tonnes CO2 per person/year. 50% with lowest income emit 4,5tonnes according to Oxfam.
Other studies say Stockholmers emit way more than nat'l average
Lack of climate justice isn't just between countries, it's also within.

"The International Energy Agency reckons that about 70m tonnes of methane were leaked into the atmosphere in 2020, roughly equivalent to the annual energy-related CO2 emissions of the EU."
Natural gas? Call it what it is: Fossil gas.
