Mass coral bleaching unfolding at Lizard Island, northern Great Barrier Reef (March 2024). These events have become “normalised” to the point where it’s easy to forget that 20 yrs ago this would have been an unprecedented and isolated event. – at Queensland, Australia

This stadium in the Netherlands has 4,200 #solarpanels on its roof and is 100% #solar powered. Shouldn't all buildings be this way? We have the solutions. Demand your govt implement them. #ActOnClimate #climateemergency #climatecrisis #climate #energy #renewables

Paris is working to become a '15-minute city' where everything you need is located locally within 15 mins. Every street will have a bike lane, 60,000 parking spots are being removed & replaced with parks. They aren't done yet. We have the solutions implement them. #ActOnClimate

That frog is cooked.
Two frogs in a saucepan of water, with vapour rising from it on a oven hob. One is leaning out and pointing at the turned temperature control. The second frog which is deep in the water says: ""Ah, yes, but how can we be *sure* that the temperature increase was caused by man?"

Labor’s national conference will end with zero action on the much-anticipated move for an end to native forest logging in Australia. This is the tragedy of logging right now in Tasmania’s forests. C’Mon @AlboMP end native forest logging.

I wrote a letter to the NYT on the museum climate protests. The protesters’ message—stop burning fossil fuels—is correct and popular. If museums stepped up on climate, they wouldn’t be targeted… …& they should step up regardless. nytimes.com/2023/07/14/opini…

When protesters attack art in museums. Also: Justice Clarence Thomas and friends; the Ukraine war; A.I. and doctors; cheering for losing teams.

So should we stop burning the fossil fuels that make the wildfires more frequent and more ferocious—more damaging to kids—or carry on with business as usual?

A historic day for Australia: for the first time in history, a coal mine has been rejected under national environmental law. Our environmental laws are not strong enough - but this time, they have worked with a good decision by the responsible minister: abc.net.au/news/2023-02-08/t…

Tiny urban forests can help #rewild urban settings and help fight #climatechange. The brainchild of the Japanese botanist Miyawaki is taking his idea global. We have so many solutions. Let's stop the delays and implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #forests #nature

We want #museums to be more than "mentioned" in connection to fighting #ClimateChange. Take our survey to contribute to policy recommendations and be part of empowering & steering the sector towards a green future: bit.ly/NEMOclimate 💚🙏
