Burning coal is about the best way of destroying the climate.

But the strange, disturbing thing is this: the remaining champions of coal are amongst the countries which will be worst affected by climate breakdown. 🧵

Stop the harm. Stop poisoning your own people and climate. Stop burning coal.
It's terrifying that we still haven't seen an end to new coal projects, let alone new oil and gas.

We need to end them all AND retire existing facilities - and that's to meet the 2050 target which, it's now clear, is a death sentence in itself.

You may have heard that just one country - Gambia 🇬🇲 which hardly has any emissions anyway - is currently on course to deliver climate action that is in alignment with limiting global heating to 1.5°C.

Actually it's worse than that.

The planet only cares about total emissions 📈. If we were to limit heating to 1.5°C then all countries would need to do their part. When some countries drag their heels, the physics is clear that others need to pick up the slack. And right now, no-one is doing that.
So how are those "critically insufficient" countries coping with climate breakdown so far?

Parts of Iran 🇮🇷 are already turning into dustbowl.
