TikTok is fucking up kids brains, and no one seems to care or want to do anything about it. #TikTokBrain

We warned and we warned and we warned.
We were ignored, mocked and vilified.
But we were right.
And there is precisely zero satisfaction in saying so.

Shocking video of a mountain glacier collapsing in Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia.
Just a week ago Italy saw a deadly glacier collapse killing 11 people.
With a rapidly warming climate expect more sobering scenes like this in the future.

When talking about being transparent, give the right information to public so they can be responsible consumers, this is the type of labeling government should implement and enforce.

I recommend anyone that's interested in the NHS New Hospitals Programme to read the new supplier guide that was published this morning. It includes ref to the Net Zero Carbon Building Standard we co-authored #nhs #nhp #MMC #carbon

A potentially deadly and unprecedented heatwave is intensifying across India and Pakistan and will last through the end of the month. Over a billion people will experience temperatures above 38C (100F) for days on end. This comes after the hottest March on record in the region.

These bold seniors saw their chance and took it- it's not like they can get in trouble if they've already graduated

A chart showing how industry sectors perform on climate disclosure reporting to CDP.
The worst-performing sectors for disclosure globally are transport and apparel, both of which have less than 0.3% of companies disclosing against all the indicators.

Oh Canada. Guess which photo is the police response to 20 indigenous elders protesting on their traditional territories to protect their land and climate and which is the police response to 1000 angry mostly white men some of whom have swastikas and confederate flags

We’ve issued a call for evidence on the topic of voluntary carbon offsets.
It’s important (and controversial) stuff and we’re planning a report later in 2022. Very keen to hear from a range of groups, especially businesses. Deadline is 28th Feb

Of all stories coming out #COP26 on fossil fuels (finally?!) This is my favourite. A deep dive @KateAronoff into what it will really take to equitably wind down: Biden Administration’s Drilling Auction Shows Why Paris Agreement Isn’t Enough @fossiltreaty newrepublic.com/article/1644…

This summer I lived through the heat dome in Canada. Fearing for my relatives, trying to stay calm and breathe the searing air. Now on heels of #COP26 living through floods & landslides & towns being evacuated. I’m done.

"Complete freak storm" floods Merritt. Climate change a culprit. But Merritt also among most intensely logged in province. No trees. Lots more water. BC forest policies failing British Columbians. #bcpoli #cdnpoli #ubcic cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…

I'm told by a friend at the epicentre of the latest crisis in Canada that the terrible floods and landslides are aggravated by the fires this summer, which burnt much of the forest and baked the soil, so the water now flashes straight off. It's a classic compound climate disaster

Historic. And insufficient. That is the dilemma of climate era. We are so stuck in our current systems & so heavily influenced by incumbents who stand to benefit from status quo that even the qualified acknowledgement in text of #COP26 of one fossil fuel, coal feels historic. 🧵

I'm on my way home from #COP26, full of frustration and fury after reading the draft declaration. The world's powerful governments propose to do more to defend the fossil fuel industry than to defend life on Earth.

“Fossil fuel subsidies are ordinary people’s taxes, they are using our taxes to kill our children and our children’s future. Not 1 more cent should go fossil fuel projects.” @kuminaidoo #COP26
