Climate experts were increasingly saying that keeping heating below 1.5C is near impossible, yet it remains the global goal. So I asked hundreds of top IPCC scientists what they thought. What they said shocked even me… 🧵 1/n #ClimateCrisis

I don't like this. It's really fucking stressful to look at. I want to just rush by it, deny it, look away, think about anything else...

This is absolutely bananas. There is NOTHING like this on the instrumental record. Its likely impact is probably immeasurable. But is it leading our news bulletins & on newspaper front pages? Nope.

Yesterday I was asked: “what are the 5 things you think everyone needs to know?” So, I thought I’d share them here too: 1. This chart from the IPCC 6th Assessment Synthesis report, released this week, shows just how far away we are from limiting warming to below 2C: (1/11)

Universities have built a business model that relies on our members doing work for free whilst paying them 25% less than they did in 2009. It’s not sustainable. It’s not acceptable. And our members aren’t having it anymore. Everybody out. #ucuRISING

This short clip is a master class in how to communicate the risk of climate impacts and the urgency of climate action. Give it a listen!

This is not “the new normal”. The climate crisis will continue to escalate and get worse as long as we stick our heads in the sand and prioritise profit and greed over people and planet. We are still sleepwalking towards the edge.
