I really wonder what the next step will be.

”1.7C is better than 1.9C which is better than 3C. Cutting emissions tomorrow is better than the day after, because we can always avoid worse happening. The action is far too slow at the moment, but we can still act.”

"Highest temperature ever recorded in the planet north of 50N latitude also shattered (44.4C from July 1941)" - @extremetemps
Heat records are usually broken by decimals, like a tenth of a degree. And not in June...
This heat-wave is just getting started.

School strike week 121. Tomorrow marks 5 yrs since the Paris Agreement. 5 yrs of inaction and creating loopholes.
We can’t go on like this.
Time to move from distant ”net zero” targets to real zero with binding, annual CO2 budgets starting now.

One of my greatest sources of hope lies in the huge potential of rewilding and restoring nature. This, together with climate equity and stop burning fossil fuels, is the key towards a sustainable world. #FaceTheClimateEmergency

It doesn't tell us what to do. It is up to us to be brave and take decisions based on the scientific evidence provided in these reports. We can still avoid the worst consequences, but not if we continue like today, and not without treating the crisis like a crisis. 2/2

There can be no social or climate justice without gender equality. On #InternationalWomensDay we highlight that women still aren't treated as equal to men.
The fight hasn't yet been won. So save your celebrations and congrats and support women on frontlines of society worldwide.

This is a huge win for the whole climate movement. A big congratulations to the brave Australian teenagers who have achieved this. Of course the action needed is still nowhere in sight, but these court cases are symbolic breaking points that could have huge snowball effects. twitter.com/Reuters/status…

”We are approaching the precipice and I would strongly suggest that all of those who have not yet been greenwashed out of our senses to stand our ground. Do you not let them drag us another inch closer to the edge. Right now is where we stand our ground.”
Thank you Glastonbury!

It's a huge problem that nations are failing to meet their climate- and ecological targets.
The main problem however, is the fact that their targets are completely insufficient in the first place.
We can't solve a crisis without treating it like a crisis.

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/…

"Instead of acting, many governments are choosing to shoot the messenger, by criminalising nonviolent protest. As scientists, we have a duty to stand with the activists who are paying attention to the science, rather than these governments"

Today is overshoot day for Sweden. If everyone lived like we do, the world would have already used up its annual resources today.
For the rest of the year we aren't just stealing the resources from future generations, but also from the present most affected people and areas.

Yes, we are all responsible for the climate- and biodiversity emergency. We - the 99,9% - have a responsibility to put pressure on the 0,1% in charge who refuse to stop the ongoing destruction of present and future living conditions for life on earth. #MindTheGap #BiodiversityDay

All over the world environmental defenders are being threatened, arrested and even killed. We who are privileged must raise our voices to speak up against these human rights violations. This is outrageous.

My deepest gratitude to everyone fighting to wake people up to the climate and ecological crisis.
The reason we're still in this mess is because we're outnumbered by those telling us to go back to sleep, saying sufficient action is taken when it's not.
In 2021, let's change this!
