Climate science never said "we only have 12 years until we fall off a cliff" - but sadly, many thought it did; and even more sadly, that misleading message fed right into the script for Trump's WEF remarks today. Here's what the science has always said:

The conclusions of the IPCC's 1.5C report: every action matters, every bit of warming matters.

Today we've announced our plan to make public school truly free. The Greens will abolish school fees & deliver 'back to school payments'. This will put nearly $2500 a year back in the pocket of a family with 2 kids, funded by making big corporations pay their fair share of tax.

some ways to generate electricity A) use sunlight to drive photosynthesis in plants, let plants die, wait ~100 million years, dig up fossilized plants, burn plants, use heat to boil water, use steam to drive a rotating turbine, use generator to make electrons B) use sunlight to make electrons

Here’s the thing. There is a neat pyramid of wood, and a pile of kindling soaked in gasoline at the base. I’m telling you it will burn, and they are telling you “there’s no evidence yet”.

PSA to my friends in California near the fires: breathing in wildfire smoke is really bad for you (even if it’s not super thick where you are) but if you have face masks (N95, KN95, etc) those can help a lot

As climate change increases the risk of dry conditions and fire weather, fires across western NAm are bigger, more dangerous, and burning greater area. It’s the difference between accidentally dropping a match into a pile of green, wet wood versus dropping it into a stack of bone dry kindling.

It is remarkable to observe the substantial expenditure of fossil fuel energy and carbon in constructing infrastructures that, within this century, are predicted to be submerged due to rising sea levels. A huge waste of resources and a lack of strategic foresight. #ClimateChange

Mangroves in #Florida are losing their resilience, but they're vital for our coasts. These thick, natural buffers protect against coastal flooding, waves, storm surges, and tsunamis. The increasing frequency and intensity of storms are threatening their resilience.
