On Saturday @uniper_energy and Finnish state owned @Fortum will open a brand new coal power plant #Datteln4 in Germany.
Those in power clearly lied when they said they cared about their children’s future.
If you needed proof that their words and promises were empty, this is it.
”Uniper is threatening to sue the Dutch government over a plan to phase out coal power by 2030”.

The honourable quest of Uniper and their owner Fortum continues...

In Sweden @FortumSverige is running a huge “green” campaign saying that “The future is already here”, and that they ”have decided to take care of the future”.

This takes #greenwashing to a whole new dimension.
They are now playing in the same league as Swedish state owned @Vattenfall_Se who also operate brand new coal power plants in Germany and recently sold its German lignite assets to Czech energy group EPH. dw.com/en/vattenfall-…

We can’t solve a crisis without treating it as a crisis and we must unite behind experts and science.
This of course goes for all crises.

Now the experts urge us to avoid big public gatherings for a better chance to #flattenthecurve and slow the spreading of the Coronavirus. 1/4
So I personally recommend that we do as the experts say. Especially in high-risk areas.

We young people are the least affected by this virus but it’s essential that we act in solidarity with the most vulnerable and that we act in the best interest of our common society. 2/4
The climate and ecological crisis is the biggest crisis humanity has ever faced but for now (of course depending on where you live) we’ll have to find new ways to create public awareness & advocate for change that don’t involve too big crowds - listen to local authorities. 3/4

My gap year ends in August, but it doesn’t take a college degree in economics to realise that our remaining 1,5° carbon budget and ongoing fossil fuel subsidies and investments don’t add up. 1/3
So either you tell us how to achieve this mitigation or explain to future generations and those already affected by the climate emergency why we should abandon our climate commitments. 2/3
Graph from @CarbonBrief by @hausfath and @robbie_andrew based on United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) emissions gap report. 3/3

It's time to start asking our elected officials how they are going to achieve this. Or let them explain why we should give up on the 1,5°C target, and by doing so significantly increase the risk of setting off irreversible chain reactions beyond human control. 1/3
And make sure they understand that this is for a 50% chance of staying below 1,5°C of average temp rise, and that 50% do not including global aspect of equity, most feedback loops, non-linear tipping points nor additional warming hidden by air pollution. 2/3
And of course remind that the technique for alternative 2 don’t exist in the scale required today and quite possibly never will. Happy holidays! 3/3
