"Most major news outlets still present climate change as no more important than a dozen other public issues, when the fact is that if the world doesn’t get it under control, fast, climate change will overwhelm every other issue."

#COP26: GREENWASH ALERT!
The fossil fuel industry & banks caused are among the biggest climate villains. Now @Shell @bp & @StanChart are here in Glasgow trying to scale up offsetting & give polluters a free pass to keep polluting. Their plan could trash the 1,5°C goal.

“The scale of the threats to the biosphere and all its lifeforms – including humanity – is in fact so great that it is difficult to grasp for even well-informed experts”
17 top scientists deliver "a realistic ‘cold shower’ of the state of the planet".

"This report from the IPCC is a litany of broken climate promises. It is a file of shame, cataloguing the empty promises that put us firmly on track towards an unlivable world. We are on a fast track to climate disaster" - @antonioguterres on the #IPCC report released today.

My generation, and those coming after, are the future. We deserve to be fought for. We deserve climate justice, social justice and equity.

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

So nice with real, cold winter in Sweden.
Still, todays average temp for Nth Hemisphere is +1°C above 1979-2000 baseline.
Daily charts like these from University of Maine should be in all daily news. This is a global crisis and needs holistic reporting.

"Recognize the moral responsibility that wealthy nations have to the rest of the world and put a value on nature that goes far beyond money/.../We may finally create a stable healthy world where resources are equally shared".

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…

”If Joe Biden called you and said he could wave a presidential magic wand, what you tell him to do?”
- Nothing. Because that would be undemocratic and democracy is the most precious thing we have.

"Norway, the UK and Canada are not climate champions. They are climate hypocrites."
These nations "all plan to keep producing fossil fuels, investing in new projects and explorations."

"The world’s state-owned fossil fuel companies are poised to invest about $1.9tn in the next decade in projects that would destroy any prospect of meeting the Paris agreement climate goals."
So much for "net zero" and a so-called "green recovery"...

”Deforestation in Brazil's Amazon surged to record levels for the month of April, nearly doubling the area of forest removed in that month last year — the previous April record”

"...his delegation wanted to go to Glasgow and convince the world that people were wrong about Brazil - it even said it would move forward its commitment to ending deforestation by 2028.
But with numbers like these, who can believe Jair Bolsonaro now?"

"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."
