Scary stuff
Sad to see the effective death of the Christchurch Call. Luxon had already done what he could to kneecap it by cancelling Jacinda Ardern’s ongoing role. Now Meta is reversing it’s Christchurch Call commitments, giving free rein to right wing terrorism online. #nzpol

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
