The Gulf Stream is bi-stable. We cannot say exactly when or if it shuts down, but signs look bad, and a shift to a weak state would be disastrous. Cannot be allowed to happen. No we act as if this risk is worth taking. Incredible. washingtonpost.com/climate-e…

Reclaiming city streets for people is never easy, but it will never be easier than it is right now. Last year's global revival of street life was just the start; surrendering it all back to cars would be a historic blunder. theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

In 2010 our leaders signed "ambitious goals to protect wildlife and ecosystems”. By 2021 they'd failed on every single one. Each day they choose not to act. Instead they sign more “ambitious" non-binding future goals while passing policy locking in destructive business as usual.
LIVE from #OnePlanetSummit in Paris:
Bla bla nature
Bla bla important
Bla bla ambitious
Bla bla green investments
Bla bla great opportunity
Bla bla green growth
Bla bla net zero
Bla bla step up our game
Bla bla hope
Bla bla bla...*

This is the place we call “normal”. But ”normal” was also a crisis, and it’s no place to return to after the pandemic. It’s a place we must leave to safeguard future living conditions. We must start to move towards a zero carbon society while leaving no one behind in the process.

Facts...
We have just had the warmest decade (2011-2020) on record. This year is on track to be one of the 3 warmest on record, and may even rival 2016 as the warmest on record. The 6 warmest years have all been since 2015.

It's like the planet has a fever.
October 2020 helps show the impacts of a changing climate. The Arctic did not freeze due to warmth stored in vast areas of open water - this was a record breaking month for lack of ice.
The air temperature was extremely high compared to normal.
