We are pleased to see that our new policy on fossil fuel funding is attracting attention. Hopefully, it will encourage others to take action too. More details coming soon #ClimateChange
Fossil fuel industry funding ruled out by UK university department: York environment department adopts policy “important to students” despite collaboration with Brazilian oil company. (£) @YorkEnvironment

It hit 49C (120F) in Iran Today! Parts of India are hitting 46C (115F). The Arabian Sea is practically boiling. #CycloneBiparjoy is hitting 105 mph and about to hit land. This is at 1.3C over - How long before this whole region pushes the absolute limits of human survivability?

Reducing methane is critical to sustaining food security. Rice farming is responsible for around 10% of agricultural methane emissions, and also suffers from global warming. Alternative farming methods can use less water and reduce methane emissions. tinyurl.com/2p9cvtam

We're live from Bangkok with the 4th and final day of the #CCAC2023!
We need to slash #methane dramatically to stay below 1.5. That's why the US and the EU launched the Global Methane Pledge in Glasgow at COP26. Hear from country representatives directly: bit.ly/CCAC2023LIVE

At our last Scientific Steering Committee meeting, we discussed having a way to pair up IGAC members or others that have air monitoring equipment to donate with scientists or others that could use said equipment (especially in data poor regions). Is this of interest?

Not all farms are small and cozy....
This is the true scale of how farm animals are raised in parts of the United States. Let’s restore respect for all living beings.

In poor countries, people spend a larger share of their income on food and many have cut back on a nutritious diet. wrld.bg/cEqi50Isxou
