If one of the world's most respected climate scientists has to explain the impacts of the #ClimateCrisis in just 2 minutes, it sounds like that.👇That's the essence.

#TellTheTruth #WeDontHaveTime

[THREAD 1/2]
This was Prof. Will Steffen in Canberra, May 2016.

If you can take a few more minutes, you should really have a look at this longer presentation by Will Steffen. This is one of the clearest illustrations of the climate crisis that I know.👇



[THREAD 2/2]
To all of you who think, we might have time to stop global warming at 2.5°C: Main message here is, that tipping cascades could turn #ClimateChange into an express lift. If we miss our stop at somewhat about 2°C, we might be rushing straight towards 4°C, 5°C or more. #TellTheTruth

A video thread about Roger Hallam, one of the founders of #ExtinctionRebellion.👇

Maybe it’s time for other forms of peaceful protest.

First few videos cover the #ClimateCrisis. Climate scientist Prof. Jason Box supports Hallam's claims.👇


THREAD [1/19]
Roger Hallam claims that the #ClimateCrisis is not too complicated overall. Just focus on the killer facts:
"Like going to the doctor. You got something with your foot and something complicated with your arm but you’ve also got lung cancer. That’s the killer fact."

[THREAD 2/19]
Roger Hallam, Co-founder of @ExtinctionR, calls the #ParisAgreement "the biggest mass delusion in the history of humanity because it’s got this lie, that we have to stay below 2°C. The simple scientific fact of the matter is: 2°C is already locked in."

You can literally see how @GretaThunberg can’t understand how the chairman of the committee on climate change can ask her such a stupid question:

“Why should we listen to the science?”

This is from today’s testimony in Congress by four young climate activists.

[THREAD 1/11]
This is @Jamie_Margolin with one of her many great statements today:

"Right now it’s like members of government and some corporations are actively pointing a gun at children’s futures. And this is horrifying and it feels like a betrayal.”

[THREAD 2/11]
This is @BenjiBacker speaking in front of the committee on climate change of the US Congress:

“There is actually a lot of opportunity here, that we have time. Science says so.”

To all: Don’t be mistaken here. He is wrong. We don’t have time!

Here’s the next science talk.
Watch climate scientist Prof. Kevin Anderson, Director of the @TyndallCentre speaking at @OfficialUoM in January 2018.

@ExtinctionR wished to see him too. He's a bit of a quick talker, so I added subtitles. Sorry for any mistakes in there.👇[THREAD]
In this first video Professor Anderson (@KevinClimate) explains commitments to the #ParisAgreement and how far we have come by now: "We had 28 years of abject failure on #ClimateChange by people with no hair, grey hair or dyed hair. We’ve actively chosen to fail."

[THREAD 2/11]
In this second video Professor Anderson talkes about different climate policies, that have not worked so far and explains what real mitigation would mean: "Delivering on the #ParisAgreement is far more challenging than most scientists and politicians will admit."

I know, I know. Don't engage the trolls. Sorry @GretaThunberg @ScienceNotDogma but that "500 Scientists" story is gaining waaaay too much traction, and I'm feeling fighty. Most of the press are just parroting the PR and that's feeding the trolls. So, prepare to be threaded...
Background: A letter headlined "There is no climate emergency" was delivered to the #UNFCCC on 23 Sept, claiming that the "European Climate Declaration" was signed by 500 scientists and professionals. Of those 500, more than 150 are NOT Europeans. Soooo....
Even more preplexing, a large percentage of the signatories are NOT associated with the natural sciences at all, and many of the "professionals" are in the pocket of the #FossilFuels mafia. We can get a rough idea of this pact's make up by looking at their so-called Ambassadors.

First of all, thank you Edmonton, for being the intellectual & moral hub of this entire province. The rest of us, evidently, were all too ready to elect to power a team already revealed as white supremacists, homophobes, misogynists, frauds, criminals & climate deniers /2 #abpoli

I think we can all agree that food is pretty important for survival.

Climate Change is already impacting food security- it is not a distant, ambiguous concern: 

More than 1 million acres of US cropland ravaged by floods

Cascading impacts of deadly flooding around the world includes "food supply shocks"

"A “whiplash” between very dry periods, followed by very wet periods, is exactly what we can expect from climate change"

...North America is not immune - bit.ly/2OVphL1

Already ‘There’s bleeding going on’ in U.S. farm economy, ag lender says, due in part to extreme weather

A prolonged downturn “has impacted farmers of all ages, experience levels and sizes”

If you were a journo or opinion editor trying to get better at reporting on #climate & #energy, what questions would you be asking?

Thread

1/ If the article/writer claims a certain cost of acting on climate, does it also make claims about the cost of not acting on climate?
2/ If there are claims made about industry moving off shore, where will the industry go (since the majority of the world is acting on climate)?

What size of land would be required to supply the aviation industry with the sufficient amount of biojetfuel, should a biofuel revolution take place?

Six times the area of all the fields in the world.
That is, 68 percent of the total land area on Earth.
#climate #aviation
Let me explain why.
Earlier this year, a long-distance flight was performed by Qantas, using 10% biofuel. 150 acres of mustard was required for this flight. ow.ly/byRP30lz8td
Suppose that we would replace all fossil jetfuel with 100% biojetfuel with the same area requirements as Qantas' flight.
Also, suppose that roughly 1/4 of all flights are long-distance & that short-distance flights require 75% less fuel than long-distance.
