TLDR we are, in fact, not focusing too much on carbon removal

Remember: 1) cataclysmic +2°C of global warming will occur any time between 2029 and 2061 barring an extraordinary set of events 2) ecosystem repair, non-industrial food production, and care for species and billions in need - this is the work to organise now Spread the word.🧵

Climate change: how bad could the future be if we do nothing? I developed this table of impacts for my book 📕 ‘Climate Change: A Very Short Introduction’ based on the @IPCC_CH 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022 reports Beyond 1.5°C #ClimateChange impacts gets worse and worse

Seaweed farms are expanding globally & offer a potentially sustainable food source 🍜👩‍🌾 But what are the environmental impacts? My PhD assesses how UK farms impact biodiversity & may provide new 🏡 to fish & invert species 🦀🐟 #HSEAway23 #tweetyourthesis @ExeterMarine

Canada is on fire. Meanwhile, Norway is going ahead with 19 new oil drilling projects, Biden approved Willow, and Trudeau ramps up fracking. Global leaders are approving fossil fuel expansions that will add gas to the fire.

BREAKING: we just fully shut down a fundraiser headlined by U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Schumer took $283,200 from NextEra. In exchange he greenlit the Mountain Valley Pipeline. This is a death sentence for us. So we shut down his event. And we did not apologize.

Eight things the world must do to avoid the worst of #ClimateChange 1. Stop methane emissions 2. Stop deforestation 3. Restore degraded land 4. Change what we eat 5. Go #RenewableEnergy 6. Use energy more efficiently 7. Stop burning #FossilFuels 8. #ActNow theguardian.com/environment/20…

During the last 2 centuries humans have liquidated forests on a massive scale. Humans are waging a winning battle against forests. The cost of victory will be humanity’s permanent exodus from the planet. cnn.com/2023/06/27/wor…

Rainforest destruction soared in 2022 despite global pledges to halt deforestation, new report...

The destruction of the world’s rainforests ramped up last year, despite global pledges to end deforestation by 2030, according to a new report.

Schumer has literally been accepting bribes in exchange for helping fossil fuel interests profit off of destroying our planet & collective future. This is ecocide. IT MUST STOP. Climate activists are on the right side of history. I love to see this beautiful energy spreading!!

If you want to pit power against power - ie. ours vs theirs - then you have to be aware of what our power is. good thread where Mr. Kalmus takes this on and discusses merging with working class movement -

Capitalists hold the power, most unfortunately, and they respond to just two things: threats to their capital, and withholding of labor

A reminder that fossil fuel companies Net0 pledges are meaningless and we need to stop pretending we can negotiate with them. We need to start regulating them.

What happens in the atmosphere stays in the atmosphere. Even if you stopped all carbon emissions today about 60% would still be circulating in a thousand years. Heating is locked in. We must address that fact.
