It feels illegal to know about these 20 websites:

This week in climate crisis that you probably missed:
- Philadelphia public schools suspend classes due to heat
- Parts of Miami inundated with flooding
- Monterrey, Mexico, a city of 5.3 million limits daily water access to all residents to 6 hours

This article is 109 years old. And we still aren't doing enough to act on climate change.

Thoughts? How have they been so successful? 🤔

When Twitter is fighting over whether it's Biden or capitalism that we should blame for increased gas prices.

Such a powerful image - the Minister from Tuvalu in the South Pacific delivered his speech to #COP26 from the sea to illustrate the crisis they face with rising sea levels

The top 1% of earners emit as much carbon as the entirety of the poorest 50%.

More delegates at #COP26 are from the fossil fuel industries than any single country . . . who let these people in ? Lobbying is probably the greatest handicap to democracy and progress we have . It’s corrupt - pure and simple . . . bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…

I am pleased to announce that I’ve decided to go net-zero on swear words and bad language. In the event that I should say something inappropriate I pledge to compensate that by saying something nice. #COP26

#COP26: GREENWASH ALERT!
The fossil fuel industry & banks caused are among the biggest climate villains. Now @Shell @BP & @StanChart are here in Glasgow trying to scale up offsetting & give polluters a free pass to keep polluting. Their plan could trash the 1,5°C goal.

3. As of now, the best part has been meeting my friends, my kin, my inspirations. For the récord, all of the real work, the work that is attempting to change the course of the climate crisis is happening outside of COP in basements amoungst the youth.

Thanks everyone for all your kind words so far. I don’t have much else to say right now, other than that I am so proud of myself and of all the other activists who were there today standing up for what is right. #ShellMustFall #StopCambo
BREAKING 🔥 activists reclaim the #TEDcountdown stage from Shell's CEO.
@Shell is actively pursuing new oil & gas projects. They are the problem, not the solution.
Watch @GNDRising campaigner & #StopCambo activist Lauren's speech & spread the word 📢

Infuriating that on the news they just said at Cop 26 'we might not get the results environmentalists want'. It's not about being an 'environmentalist', it's about our survival. How are we still so stuck in this place of ignorance?theguardian.com/environment/…

We're not all equally responsible for the climate crisis. We're just not. Societal change means individual change inevitably but a crisis demands clarity of action focused on eliminating the core drivers. In the case of emissions it's the richest companies, countries and people.

Wildfires in Turkey, Greece and Siberia
Drought in Angola and Madagascar
Floods in Germany, Belgium, China and Uganda
And so more recently
Climate crisis isn't a looming threat. It's here! If we don't change, these will be the new normal.
