#ClimateActionNow implies that we should all act now to do what we can, bring reasonable about it. We can check what fossil fuel we could stop burning, or at least reduce burning. And reduce its use.
The best way of reducing GHG emissions is by changing personal behavior by changing our routines. Switch from a car to a e-bike, walk to the shops, review all the uses of electricity at home and switch off unnecessary uses.
Note: This is NOT an effect of the rollout of the COVID mRNA vaccine to healthcare workers in Leeds, followed by the general population.
Nope. 11 months' miscarriage rate above the +2SD control line... it must be climate change.

I was right! Thank God. I thought for a moment it could be all those nurses being coerced to take an experimental mRNA gene therapy in early pregnancy with no safety data at all.
Instead it was just global cooli-warming.

#Budget2023 and #NetZero a thread. The UK is lagging behind in its commitment to achieving a drastic reduction in GHG emissions & protecting us against climate change.
#Budget2023 has an industrial strategy. However, it is clear that it will be insufficient to meet the requirements of #NetZero in the right place, in a timely manner in order to reach the target by 2040, not 2050. We are in war-time crises of an unprecedented kind.
Russia has been waging a cyber war against the West for at least 10, if not 15, years. Now due to #Brexit, #COVID19 , & #WarInUkraine, prices, especially energy & food, are spiking, but the Tory govt is either inadequate or absent in response.

We need to talk about nature… 🌿
Please, please don’t be one of those people who watch a show like Wild Isles, think how beautiful nature is and how sad it is that we’re losing it at an alarming rate, but then not do anything about it!
TAKE. ACTION.
Here’s how... 🧵

There are dozens of things individuals and businesses can do to support nature’s recovery and help tackle ecological collapse and biodiversity loss.
And some of those things are really quick and easy to do.

The #AR6 #SYR is groundbreaking in its examination of issues of equity and climate change. For the first time, the report emphasizes the unequal historical and ongoing contributions, and differential vulnerabilities within and between nations/regions/peoples. (1/n)
The report highlights that climate change has been driven by unsustainable energy use, land use, and consumption patterns across regions. Unequal contributions have arisen due to differences in countries' activities, and some have contributed far less than others. (2/n)
Vulnerable communities who have historically contributed the least to climate change are disproportionately affected, both in terms of who is impacted and the severity of impacts. This stark reality underscores the need for fair burden-sharing. (3/n)
2 #ghiacciai su 3 potrebbero sparire entro il 2100 a causa del cambiamento climatico: è lo scenario peggiore previsto da un nuovo modello messo a punto grazie a una enorme quantità di dati su tutti i ghiacciai della Terra e sui vari scenari di aumento della T globale (1/8)
È quanto emerge in questo studio già citato ▶️ bit.ly/3Wwid2S. Il futuro ritiro di tutti i singoli ghiacciai della Terra è stato proiettato fino al 2100 sulla base degli scenari SSP. La perdita di ghiaccio dipende quasi linearmente dalla velocità di riscaldamento. (2/8)
Anche nello scenario migliore, con un aumento di T < a 1,5 gradi C in più rispetto ai livelli preindustriali, andrà comunque persa la metà dei ghiacciai. A essere colpiti saranno soprattutto quelli di dimensioni < a 1km^2 in Europa centrale, Canada occidentale e USA. (3/8)

It's the manipulation of the Y-Axis! Rather than starting at 0, it starts at 260.
Now, the same data, same chart... with Y-Axis starting at 0.

I tweeted this a couple of days ago. People who profess to be concerned about the climate, I'm talking to you. I don't care about those other people, the crazies. It's just us believers here. Do you want #ClimateActionNow?
Then why aren't you asking for it by name?

2. By no stretch of anyone's imagination is building solar panels and wind turbines #ClimateActionNow.
That is manufacturing action now, with a promise that in a decade it will take away 40% of our emissions then.
It is fossil fuel consumption now. Empirically, measurably, now

3. If #ClimateActionNow has any meaning whatsoever it means "reduce emissions now" and since 100% of all emissions are in aid of some objective within our economy, slowing speeds and reducing demand for things is climate action *now*. The rest is all, also 100%, energy use now.

"Progress made on mitigation since COP26 in Glasgow has been too slow. Climate action at COP27 shows we are on the cusp of a clean energy world, but only if G20 leaders live up to their responsibilities, keep their word, and strengthen their will. The onus is on them."

What if nobody in America got anything new next year?
Would the world end?
Would we be plunged into abject poverty?
Nobody loses anything, just nobody gets anything new.
Could we survive?
Coz out that way is #ClimateAction . All this other crap is advertising and capitalism.

2. We use oil to manufacture and transport goods.
We use oil to mine metals.
Manufacturing and transportation are, together, over half of our total energy consumption. Both processes are skewed heavily fossil powered.

Forests are important. Here’s why🧵 1/n
Forests
- make shade & cool the surface
- capture CO2
- purify the air
- make clouds & rain
- prevent drought
- prevent flooding
- prevent erosion
