.@JoyceMurray: Canada pledged to protect 30% of land and waters by 2030. In March, the UN is set to discuss a Global Oceans Treaty, which could help secure a strong protection plan for our global #oceans by 2030. Will you push for a strong Treaty? act.gp/3CyEkRQ

”New research shows that the natural world is at far greater risk from climate breakdown than previously thought.”
Our lack of respect for the natural world must come to an end... theguardian.com/environment/…
”The difference is about the same as a decade of fossil fuel emissions from the UK, Germany, France and Canada put together.”
Tropical forests are rapidly losing their ability to absorb carbon.
The fact that this isn’t on every front page is terrifying. theguardian.com/environment/…
What do they call doing the same thing over and over again,& expecting different results?
If we do not run a strong, progressive candidate that directly addresses the core crises Americans face, we take a major risk.
The time is now.
Vote @BernieSanders.
My friend and hero @GretaThunberg came round to ours today, and we had a wonderful and inspiring three hours talking about every aspect of the climate emergency and how to confront it. I feel even more determined than I was before.
Clearly climate crimes underway! Our best chance is for an immediate (as in right now!) end to hydrocarbon use, yet even a 2050 target doesn't have real support in major governments.
“Today’s business as usual is turning into a crime against humanity. We demand that leaders play their part in putting an end to this madness.”
These are our demands for the #WEF2020 in #Davosgoogle.se/amp/s/amp.theguard…
It’s not about Meatloaf.
It’s not about me.
It’s not about what some people call me.
It’s not about left or right.
It’s all about scientific facts.
And that we’re not aware of the situation.
Unless we start to focus everything on this, our targets will soon be out of reach.

UNEP: 1.5C climate target ‘slipping out of reach’
Unless the world begins to rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions the 1.5C goal of the Paris Agreement “will slip out of reach,” according to the latest UN Environment Programme emissions gap report.
Setting emission cut targets for future dates or becoming “climate neutral” is much easier if you exclude aviation, shipping, consumption, imports, exports and “offset” your emissions elsewhere... What we need is real, drastic emission cuts at the source.
