Why are we making it so hard for climate vulnerable nations to access money to deal with health impacts and so easy for the fossil fuel industry to continue receiving subsidies? #COP26 #PayUp4LossandDamage

I had to look twice at this 😍 Reading the technical aspects behind the shot is incredible too. #oceanjoy

By 2050 it might be all over. And I mean all.
It's possible that we could see cascading environmental collapse, flipping Earth systems into an uninhabitable state. What is needed now is sudden and drastic action to stabilise our life support systems.

Current climate plans are based on a mistaken belief:
That, through incremental change, we can stop a complex system from crashing. But complex systems don’t work like this. They steadily absorb stress, then suddenly flip. We don’t know how close the tipping points might be.

I get carbon; we can measure emissions, plot reductions and set goals.

I just feel we need to add the words 'and a healthy planet' to the pledge as this is more than just carbon.

Was reading about global pricing of carbon today and it reminded me of when I learned that whales could be seen as *huge* economic assets due to their role in carbon sequestration ⤵️
