Greta Thunberg has been detained in Germany for protesting the expantion of a coal mine despite the government claiming it will exit coal by 2030.

The coal expansion betrays 'present and future generations.'

Great news!

The Annual Climate Change Statement shows current government policies would be insufficient to satisfy Australia's new 2030 emissions budget.
Australia would *exceed* the emissions budget by between 1 and 5 per cent.

I'm pleased with how much the government has achieved,' said Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen.

'Pleased, but not satisfied … there is so much more to do.'

Whenever I talk about EVs, someone always asks 'what about emissions from battery production & minerals?' Turns out: upstream emissions associated with producing gasoline for an ICE vehicle are larger than those 'embedded' in minerals and battery production for an EV. ⤵️

The NSW flooding is in its 63rd day, with hundreds of people rescued overnight and many more evacuating.

Two weeks ago Forbes flooded, and in the days ahead they're expecting the river levels to hit 10.88m again.

This isn't normal, but it's becoming our new normal.

Hello @cop27!!! #climatecrisis

Europe is insanely warm right now. It has never been this warm so late in the year for some.

Can't believe it is only 43 days until Christmas.

Eight years to reduce emissions by 50%.
Eight years to achieve the #SDGs .

The time to start building a peaceful, healthy, green, prosperous, and inclusive future is now.

#ClimateCrisis #COP27

Despite the worsening climate crisis, I remain hopeful - because of the young people who have been relentless in holding decision-makers to account.

Here's my message to them from #COP27 :

I pledge to you that I will not let leaders off the hook.

I urge you to never give up!

A growing number of governments, businesses, cities & regions are pledging to be carbon-free – and that’s good news.

My Net-Zero Expert Group’s report is a how-to guide to ensure these pledges are credible & accountable. un.org/en/climatechan…

We don't need a silver bullet to tackle the #ClimateCrisis .

So many solutions are already available & don’t rely on 'speculative technologies or breakthroughs that cannot be counted on to occur in time, if ever.'

A purely statistical point here: This poll represents a Nov 3-5 running average & there's a large negative GOP trend & positive Dem trend. That trend likely persisted through today. So Dem enthusiasm right now likely EXCEEDS GOP enthusiasm.

If you haven't already done, #VOTE !

Climate change is on a different timeline & scale than other global crises.

It's the defining issue of our age, the central challenge of our century.

It's outrageous & self-defeating to put it on the back burner. If anything, we need greater urgency & stronger #ClimateAction .

“Humanity has a choice: cooperate or perish. It is either a Climate Solidarity Pact – or a Collective Suicide Pact,”
the UN Secretary-General told over 100 world leaders reunited for the first official plenary of #COP27 .
