🧵You often hear human induced climate change skeptics (especially those funded by fossil fuel lobby groups) say 'CO2 is plant food' but this two part video explores what they deny about the damaging climate change impacts on food security and farms. Sources later in the thread.

#ClimateChange last 12 months have seen the warmest ocean temperatures on record

The super-heated oceans have hit marine life hard and driven a new wave of coral bleaching.

If this does not worry you - nothing will.

CCAG's Prof. Lorraine Whitmarsh MBE features in a powerful call to arms from world-renowned scientists, published by Damian Carrington in today's The Guardian.

There is no time to waste – the world's leaders and governments must step up to tackle the climate crisis.

💥Wind & solar are 'fastest-growing electricity sources in history' – new Ember report

⛰️They're growing faster than demand: Peak fossil fuel power in 2024 – then 'inevitable' decline

🏭They already shaved 22% off fossil power, saving 4GtCO2/yr

Climate tipping points can be linear, or can “flicker' between two climatic states that alternate before a final, permanent transition occurs, finds a new study of changes to north Africa's climate, involving Professor Mark Maslin 𝕏 🙄 UCL Geography UCL Social & Historical Sciences ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/may/…
