"The climate crisis is a fossil fuel crisis" says Al Gore in his newest TED talk @GRIDArendal #ClimateCrisis ted.com/talks/al_gore_…

Wait for it ....

Getting harder to be a Climate Change denier? @GRIDArendal theclimatecrisis.quora.com/Skeptics-have-…

@ProfTerryHughes Could not agree more! @GRIDArendal theclimatecrisis.quora.com/Skeptics-have-…

It was far too easy to find clips of plastic bags in our #deepsea video footage 🥹 #PlasticFreeJuly

DECISION TIME IN PARIS #Plastictreaty negotiations have seen an overwhelming support for binding global rules to eliminate, reduce, circulate and manage plastics, but also resistance and delaying tactics. Today, #INC2 will decide on mandating a first ("zero") draft treaty text.

Honoured to address #INC2 50+ nations, translation to 6 languages, but only 5 mins to summarise decades of science on the harm current plastics use brings & point towards upstream solutions. Key message - to avoid unintended consequences, science will be critical to guide the way

@EspenBarthEide says plastic connects to all 3 planetary crises - global treaty on plastic must address full life cycle #INC @GRIDArendal @UNEP

Very pleased to join @MujaJeanne, @EspenBarthEide & members of the High Ambition Coalition to End Plastic Pollution. Ambition is a legaIly binding instrument that shows solidarity & provides financial resources for global south. #PlasticsINC My remarks: bit.ly/3MX8SoU

BREAKING: The High Ambition Coalition Ministerial Statement presented by @MujaJeanne. 50+ ministers call for the plastics treaty to ban high risk plastic products, polymers and chemicals, and binding provisions to reduce production and consumption. True leadership and ambition!

Australia will commit an additional 3 million dollars to the INC for a global treaty on plastic says @TanyaPlibe Minister of Environment @GRIDArendal @UNEP

@PeterHarrisGRID et al argues that the ocean water column is a major transitory sink for microplastic & marine pollution, forming a suspended, marine plastic cloud & that more measurements are needed 2 develop mass balance budgets for marine plastic poll. researchgate.net/profile/Peter-…
