The Atlantic’s vital current system (AMOC) is nearing collapse as scientists warn it could fail within a decade. Europe could freeze, the US & Caribbean could flood. We must end fossil fuels now before it’s too late. 🌍⚠

Do you think your MP is aware of the full implications of the climate crisis, across health, national security, food security and our economy?

Exxon scientists warned executives in 1981 that the continued burning of fossil fuels could "produce effects which will indeed be catastrophic (at least for a substantial fraction of the earth’s population)."

They knew. They lied. They must be held accountable.

New 'state of climate action' report gives you a much better picture than daily headlines about contextless solar panel or EV sales

- Most things are going in the right direction

- Most things are badly off track to the pace of change required

Having been involved with this report for the past 5 years, overall takeaways IMO are:

- Good news: we know (in great detail) the things the 🌎 needs to do to stay w/in 1.5°C!
- Good news: we are doing many of the things!
- Bad news: we’re not doing ANY of the things at the necessary speed or scale!
BREAKING: The #StateOfClimateAction 2025 finds the world is failing to act fast enough to combat the climate crisis and secure a livable future, with no indicators of global climate action currently on track for 2030. 🌏🌡️
