I have some sad news. John “Jonah” Jones of GlobalUnion3 passed away last month. He worked tirelessly for the good of the planet and all living things. Kind and generous, fun to be with, a great friend who will be missed very much and never forgotten.

Want to know where we've been going wrong all these decades....???
It's called expecting political power to put in place the policies needed to end earth breakdown.
"Of course they can't".
They are automatically in the pay of those that will do whatever it takes to block action.

9. Saudi Arabia 0.64
10. Canada 0.61
Those 10 countries account for approximately 70 per cent of the world's emissions.

What now matters is a rapid, transitional "Phasing out" of all fossil fuels by 2028 latest.

🚨 BREAKING: MAJOR INCIDENT DECLARED AFTER LEAK FROM DORSET OIL FIELD
🛢️ Dirty fuels have contaminated in one of the UK's most beautiful nature spots, Poole Harbour in Dorset.
⚠️ "Anyone who has come into contact with the spill should wash immediately with soap and water"
GlobalUnion retweeted
🐦 Poole Harbour is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Our government said they'd protect it.
💀 But toxic spills are an inevitable consequence of our continued reliance on oil.

South Australia went from 1% renewables in 2007 to 68% in just over 15 years. It's on track for 100% renewable energy by 2030.
It can be done.
We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

Business-as-usual, the current hopeless climate targets, will take heating up to 3.2°C rise by 2100 says the @IPCC_CH.
We are currently seeing almost unsustainable disaster levels at 1.1°C.
Who is going to take action?
Don't rely on anyone but yourself.

We are back at the port of Hamburg and are interrupting traffic to get the government back on constitutional ground to protect our livelihoods.
This is how this scene came about.
