BREAKING: Today likely will go down in history as a major turning point in saving our planet. Dutch court orders Shell to halve emissions; shareholders slam Chevron over Ecuador; Exxon loses two Board seats to climate activists. The fossil fuel era is ending.

It's been a trying weekend. This will be a whole thread. Sorry for people who like bite-sized consumption.

Emissions must fall 60% in 9 years & the IEA says zero new oil & gas projects for a hope of even ‘net’ zero. So it would be reasonable to assume laws are being passed to end exploration right? In fact, the world is on an oil & gas binge. A shocking, terrifying, revolutionary 🧵

Folks, here's your daily reminder The harm of climate change is caused by **cumulative** greenhouse gases. So: a very slow path to zero by 2050 does much more absolute harm than a very fast one. This isn't widely understood: the fossil industry knows and exploits this.

Make no mistake: the 💰 is now there if the 🌎 truly wants to arrest the #climatecrisis Today, through the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero #GFANZ, over $130 trillion of capital from 450+ firms across 45 countries is committed to transforming the economy #COP26

From a forestry chat I'm in: "This washed out section of the Trans Canada in the Thompson River Canyon has extensive clearcutting in the watershed above it." #BCForestry #OldGrowth #FairyCreek #bcpoli

Since Sunday afternoon my wife and I have been thrust into a climate disaster that has been otherworldly, entirely surreal, and profoundly eye-opening. 1/

As you are shopping, prepping and preparing your Thanksgiving meals, we'd like you to know a little more about the work behind every ingredient and the people doing that work. Here's a thread for everyone who wants to thank a farm worker this week. #WeFeedYou

Wet’suewet’en Hereditary Chief Madeek sees where CGL is planning to lay its pipeline & drill under the sacred Wedzin Kwa River for the first-time this afternoon. It’s like his expression carries the collective sorrow of so many. Chief Gisday’wa looks on in the other photo.
