Drying of the largest tropical peat carbon store may release massive amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. Congo's Peatlands store roughly 3 years’ worth of global fossil fuel emissions... nature.com/articles/d4414…

A good read on Carbon Inequalities. The top 10% of the wealthy world population is responsible for a large % of global emissions. Interestingly, emissions inequalities shifted from between-country inequalities to within-country last 30yrs. data: 2019 nature.com/articles/s4189…

Proper measurements are the first step towards reducing ! Great work, much needed for decision making !

Climate Anxiety isn't directly related to Gender or Income, it touches everyone the same way. It leads to (some) climate action: buying second hand, renting or recycling items but does not predict more impactful behaviours like changing eating habits. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@pratikpoddar Thanks a lot for sharing. We need to highlight the work of @ic_vcm on those matters. A lot of effort is being made !

Carbon Offsets: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) youtu.be/6p8zAbFKpW0 via @YouTube

The growing voluntary carbon market industry demonstrates that there is significant public demand for available #climatechange mitigation. Carbon offsets offer an immediate solution for companies creating emissions reduction plans & hard-to-decarbonize industries, like #aviation

Another burden for those who feed us. Temperature is the main driver of plant development. Climate change accelerates it and pushes winemakers and farmers to adapt at a furious pace. Without knowing what the next catastrophe will be. #xtor=AL-32280270-[default]-[android" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">lemonde.fr/planete/articl…]

In 2018 there were 867 cars for every thousand people in the US. In China there were 160 cars per thousand people and in India there were 37 cars for every thousand people. Think about that. #ClimateAction #transport @naturallyzero1

@emilyvonsydow Il n'y a que deux heures de route entre les deux ! 🙂

@SebastienLacube D’abord Mont Blanc et maintenant ça?

Mine is : For the first time ever, wind and solar generated 10% of the world’s electricity. Keeping this pace through 2030 could help us reach 1.5°C, which is more possible now that electricity from solar is the “cheapest source of electricity in history” edition.cnn.com/2022/03/30/bus…

The future seems red, are we are told we aren't doing enough. Yet I believe in people, countries, region. We've achieved a lot. Let's be climate optimists, and work together to achieve more! Share your climate positive story 🙂

Mont Blanc but not so white anymore! Studies have predicted that 52% of Switzerland’s small glaciers will be gone within the next 25 years. Not just glaciers, it's a whole ecosystem collapsing. Majestic landscapes that inspired many to climb, braving danger to make history.

@JeanneauL Donc finalement peut être que même les 1% les plus riches haïssent les 1% les plus sans savoir qu'ils se haïssent eux mêmes ?

Un graphique à la fois rigolo et très parlant ! Les riches sous-estiment assez nettement leur richesse : personne ne se perçoit comme appartenant aux 20 % les plus riches, alors que c’est le cas de 8 % des répondants à une enquête de la Drees : alternatives-economiques.fr/francais-ont-u…

Australia taking its first step in a decade toward its carbon neutrality journey ! "The law is best seen as a marker of intent than concrete action. It means the big decisions still lie ahead." Adam Morton - The Guardian

Each stripe is a year. Color tells you the temperature change with the global average since 1890s. Yes the stripes turn red. Yes, this year is even darker, even warmer.

A picture is worth a thousand words. What do you see ? showyourstripes.info/s/globe

@RaveaudGilles C'est vrai en France en plus on a pas de gens qui bossent jour et nuit depuis quelques années pour nous sortir des rapports qui aide les politiques dans la décarbonation de l'économie. Personne ne leur mache le travail ! theshiftproject.org/category/publi…

Le gouvernement lance des "groupes de travail" pour commencer à réfléchir à d'éventuelles mesures de réduction de consommation d'énergie. Pensées émues pour les amis du GIEC qui se dépouillent depuis des décennies pour alerter nos dirigeants. 😥 #xtor=AL-32280270-[default]-[android" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">lemonde.fr/economie/artic…]
