"'1.5 is dead' is deliberately misleading, or a misunderstanding of science" says @KevinClimate. We'd take the medical treatment with a 1/6 chance; there is still an outside chance. Reductions needed are incredibly rapid, can't see making blue line (50%) but red possible. /2 
Relatively little social science studies effectiveness of less powerful groups in making system change. @JKSteinberger shares lessons from THIS IS AN UPRISING on non-violent civil disobedience. Focus on disruption, decentralized, shift debate to your terms, choose moral sides /2 
For example, @kdriks leader @BuschEbba told @dagensnyheter @linalund “Sweden will manage the climate transformation and meet our share of the Paris Agreement.” But our @ResearchersDesk analysis found proposals by the parties now in power will NOT meet the Paris Agreement. 2/n
Food security = available + access + utilisation + stability (@FAOKnowledge). We developed indicators of each for African countries in our study; found food insecurity across Africa decreased since 2000 (good!), but only 3 countries were relatively food secure in 2017 (bad) 2/n
Cars are a problem: for climate, health, inequality, city space... Making cars fossil-free is necessary, but will not be sufficient for any of those goals; we need to reduce unnecessary cars as much as possible. I review the evidence for @ConversationUK: 
Climate discussion in the US has (too) long focused on denial-- not "believing" scientific facts. But we don't just face denial, but also apathy and misunderstanding and helplessness and despair. More data, reports, powerpoints does not change people's minds, says @DrKateMarvel 
(A quick introduction if we haven’t met: I’m a climate and sustainability scientist @lunduniversity in Sweden. I research personal & policy climate solutions, sustainable food & land systems, & wine & climate change. My goal: a world where people and nature can thrive. 2/n)
2. Reminder: It's the carbon budget, the area under the emissions curve, that determines warming. More emissions now means more (up to impossible) cuts later. @KevinClimate
#fossilfuel producers are adding massive capacity, boosted by #plastic production, but industry projections for "transformative change" continue to dispose (yellow) + mismanage (red) plastics. @JPTilsted at @LUCSUS_LU seminar 2/n 
The world is currently WAY over our #carbonbudget for where we need to be to align with #ParisAgreement. Orange= countries will do under any event; red = conditional (e.g., will do if they get needed finance). We have LOTSA emissions to reduce fast @davidwaskow @WRIClimate (2/n)
