"A rapid reduction in fossil fuels, essential to avoid devastating climate breakdown, would have minimal financial impact on the vast majority of people, new research has shown." theguardian.com/environment/20…

This is the correct order of events. Step one is you decarbonise absolutely everything you can. Only once that is complete should you consider offsets.

We need a majority of people to know 5 things, which they largely do not:   1. Pollution from oil, coal and gas is heating the earth and causing dangerous weather. 2. All the climate scientists agree. 3. We must move quickly if we are to save a livable climate. 4. There are

What are tipping points? They are processes whereby a system experiences a shift in state when a threshold in its conditions (caused by forcing) is breached. The shift is relatively rapid & if you reverse the forcing, the system does not return to its earlier state. [1/n]

Um, this chart is from Brian McNoldy at the Univ of Miami. It shows incredibly hot--almost hot-tub hot--ocean water. He said: "I'm not sure I've ever seen the water around Florida look like this...at any time of year."

A severe marine heatwave has emerged off the coast of Florida as water temperatures have soared into the 90s. Multiple buoys in Everglades National Park are reporting water temperatures as high as 95°F (35°C).

Route 218 (Storm King Highway/9W) in Orange County, New York/#HudsonValley has sustained catastrophic damage. A summer’s worth of rain fell in a single day.

Is anyone in government seeing this? You might as well sack the entire climate and environment bureaucracy if all they’re doing is justifying inaction.

“The era of global boiling has arrived” Exxon did this. Shell did this. TotalEnergies did this. PetroChina did this. Chevron did this. BP did this. Gazprom did this. Coal India did this. Saudi Aramco did this: Just 100 companies caused 71% of man-made global warming emissions

There’s a single statistic everyone in the world should know this summer: fossil fuel subsidies are ten times greater than climate finance. eand.co/can-our-broken…

Officially confirmed. July 2023 was Earth's hottest month on record.

This decline in gas demand has serious implications for PNG economy and GDP going forward. It probably won't factor into FID for the #PapuaLNG project but we need to be aware that the gas era might be a lot shorter than expected.

Climate change is real. Nobody ever imagined such a disaster hitting Hawaii. The Pacific needs to be prepared. No more compromises. Protect the environment at all costs.

Renewables could overtake coal as the largest source of electricity generation for the first time ever as soon as 2024 ⚡️ This is even earlier than expected, but reaching this milestone will require favourable weather conditions ➡️ iea.li/47ehlMm

Everyone needs to become a climate activist because what is happening in Maui, what’s just happened in Rhodes, Norway, Sicily, China etc, is just the beginning. This graph is by the university of Reading. It’s real. We really are in an unimaginable, unprecedented emergency 🚨

Perhaps we should stop saying that we are in a climate emergency when actually our civilisation is under attack by fossil fuel interests and their media enablers, while governments are doing next to nothing to protect us.

Even if CO₂ emissions decreased annually as much as during the pandemic lockdown, we wouldn't achieve our climate targets. While individuals made huge sacrifices, the system remained. This shows that individual action will not solve climate change. We need the system to change.
