Much of the reporting on European farmers’ protests point to environmental regulations, in particular the Farm-to-Fork strategy (F2F), as the source of anger. Not only is that narrative incomplete, it is also dangerous. A thread on why farmers aren’t a monolithic group. 🧵

Wir werden es niemals rechtfertigen können, in dieser so offensichtlichen Lage nicht alles gegeben zu haben. #ClimateEmergency

This is what the 30 million tonnes of ice that Greenland loses every hour looks like, if it were positioned next to the Eiffel tower before melting

🚨Right before #INC4 #PlasticsTreaty starts, new report by Lawrence Berkeley National Lab finds that emissions from producing plastic could triple and reach 31% of Earth’s carbon budget if nothing is done to stop the current growth trajectory theguardian.com/us-news/2024/a… #climatebomb

🔎 A closer look at yesterday’s Berkeley Lab report on #PlasticsAndClimate which reveals plastics are at the heart of #ClimateChange & undermine our ability to keep global temperature rise below 1.5°C degrees. bit.ly/3JmKpXg 🧵

Plastics know no border. Every living being & every part of the planet are harmed by plastics & their production. To #BeatPlasticPollution, we need a strong #PlasticsTreaty that upholds human rights & addresses the full life cycle of plastics. unep.org/news-and-stori…

[1/3]Yesterday, CIEL's @liliFuhr joined an event on the overexploitation of our #Oceans at the German Parliament to talk all about the risks of storing carbon beneath the ocean floor. Read why #OffshoreCCS is no solution to the climate & pollution crises👇 ciel.org/reports/deep-t…

Thread 🧵- New @FWAE & Gas No Es Solución analysis: In 2023, the US led as the main #LNG exporter to the EU, w. most being fracked gas!🚨Hypocrisy-we're offloading all the fracking impacts onto frontline communities overseas🔥 Read more here bit.ly/3WiIKtP

📢 NEW: 196 fossil fuel and chemical industry lobbyists have registered to participate for the critical #INC4 #PlasticsTreaty talks in Ottawa. That’s more participants than the entire EU delegation, scientists, and Indigenous Peoples.

🏭Plastic pollution isn’t just about plastic waste; pollution starts with emissions during the extraction of #FossilFuels & at the petrochemical and plastic production plants. To reduce #PlasticPollution, the new European Parliament must cut plastic production & #PhaseOutFossils. A🧵

Only a few govts are blocking progress on the #plasticstreaty, but failure will belong to ALL! With just hrs left,Steven Guilbeault Andreas Bjelland Eriksen Marina Silva U/S for Economic Growth, Energy, & the Environment successful treaty must cut plastic production, eliminate dangerous chemicals, & ban throwaway plastic packaging.

In #Africa a majority of farmers practice #agroecology, adding organic nutrients to the soil. A summit of African governments and corporate lobbyists wants to triple the use of chemical #fertiliser, despite it being a major cause of #climatechange #AFSH24🧵au.int/en/newsevents/…

Floods result not only from #ClimateChange but also from land use: asphalt & arable land absorb very little water. When water can spill into natural areas, it doesn't flood through houses & streets. --> #RestoreNature is not just "nice to have", it's a matter of life & death.

Tondelier au bord des larmes après l'absence de soutien de Bruno Le Maire à LFI contre le RN: "C'est un comportement de lâche et de privilégié. Le RN a la capacité d'avoir la majorité absolue, pas LFI. Ils ont choisi le déshonneur, ils auront le déshonneur et la défaite"
