How big is the CO₂ bucket for 1.5°C?
Well, the bucket is about to overflow in a few short years, unless we:
1. Turn off the tap (urgently)
2. Put a hole in the bottom to remove CO₂ (negative emissions)

"This is not leading, this is misleading"
@GretaThunberg accuses countries of misleading people with seemingly "impressive" climate pledges, adding the COP25 summit has become an opportunity "to negotiate loopholes and avoid raising their ambition"

This is one of the most powerful climate activist images I’ve seen.
#FridaysForFuture surrounding a fossil fuel exec at #COP25.
This is genius in its stupidity. Would be funny if not so serious.
We need some kind of climate denier Darwin Award equivalent for the best of these each month.
I need some relief from climate anxiety. Anyone got anymore to share?

I love what @sunrisemvmt are doing! Reducing our individual environmental impact is importmat and encouraging political change is so much more powerful. Great, inspirational work @SunriseMvmtLA and @laclimate 👍
Holidays can be frustrating when there’s a climate crisis. Channel that energy and strike with us, this Friday, December 6th. 11:30am at City Hall. @laclimate #StrikeWithUs

If you were in charge of this country, and presented with this graph, which form of energy would you invest in?
Fortunately, they can’t seem to sell them for as much as they’d hoped, either. #StrandedAssets
It's crystal clear that a large amount of Saudi Aramco’s oil reserves can’t be burned if we want a livable planet.

This. This is the BIG issue so few people are adressing. Net offsets are vital but, crucially, they are finite. They should only be used for 1) undoing damage already caused and 2) for those industries that are particularly difficult to decarbonise.

Public misunderstanding about climate is stunning. “AT Kearney asked 1,500 Germans what had the strongest impact on reducing CO2 footprint. Of the 7 choices listed, 22% thought cutting out plastic bags had the biggest impact, more than any other option” wired.co.uk/article/climate-…

I've estimated the greenhouse gas emissions associated with Cyber Monday: 3.7Mt CO2.
Equivalent to emissions of a small country for one year.
Unnecessary consumption is a huge contributor to global heating.

The US is set to drown the world in oil. Staggering 2 in 3 barrels of the world’s new oil & gas production in 2020s is set to come from the US alone.
Planetary stability rests on breaking the power of its fossil fuel sector. #GeopoliticsOfGHGs globalwitness.org/en/campaig…

I know that many people who are struggling financially depend on sales to buy essential items. I'm not talking about that here...
I'm talking about unnecessary consumption.
