Dear Humanity, #ClimateChange threatens our existence.
If we don't act soon there'll be catastrophic biodiversity loss & untold amounts of human misery.
Time's running out.
Yours,

Act, before action is no longer possible. #ClimateCrisis
Denmark, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands plan to build four artificial islands to quadruple offshore wind in the North Sea – the equivalent of 30 nuclear reactors.
We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate#ClimateCrisis#climate#energy#tech#GreenNewDeal
This shows the Central England temperatures for summer, winter , and the year from 1650 to 2019. It is the longest meteorological record existing.
It shows slight warming (beneficial) over a period of about 370 years.
What it doesn't show is a climate crisis.
Humans are creating the third great extinction. If we don't change - 99.9% of critically endangered species will be lost & it will take the earth more than 3 million yrs to recover.
We have solutions to the #climate crisis, implement them. #ActOnClimate#climateaction#cop15
“When our forests are damaged, there will be a massive climate crisis, species like the birds of paradise will become extinct, and not just our Namblong Indigenous culture will be destroyed, but that of all peoples everywhere.”
It’s up to all of us to protect our planet.
The ongoing Decade on Ecosystem Restoration aims to massively scale up the restoration of degraded & destroyed ecosystems.
This will help fight the climate crisis & enhance food security, water supply & biodiversity.
