“An estimated 5.13 million (3.63 to 6.32) excess deaths per year globally are attributable to ambient air pollution from fossil fuel use and therefore could potentially be avoided by phasing out fossil fuels”⁦@bmj_latest⁩ ⁦⁩ ⁦@WHO⁩ bmj.com/content/383/bm…

"It has been estimated that 30% of medical care is of low value or wastes resources, and 10% is harmful. The health sector is estimated to account for more than 5% of greenhouse gas emissions in industrialised countries." bmj.com/content/382/bm…

We are heavily subsidising fossil fuels. So, we are subsidising what it kills us and take us to hospitals. Is 7 million premature deaths every year caused by air pollution not a strong enough argument to accelerate transition to clean sources of energy? @WHO @UNDESA #sdg7
International Energy Agency@IEA

Fossil fuel consumption subsidies rose to a record of over $1 trillion in 2022 amid the global energy crisis Read more in this commentary from IEA’s Toru Muta & @musa_erd on why structural changes to bring down fossil fuel demand are needed ➡️ iea.li/3O1apea

@LisaPatelMD @TODAYshow Yes!! Thank you for spreading this message! The important link between wildfires and climate change is still underreported in major news outlets, we need to repeat this in all possible channels!

This is beyond absurd, and it sums up the whole climate crisis in a nutshell. Firstly, appointing the CEO of a major oil company to head COP28. Secondly, the orchestrated and dishonest greenwashing of his image/credentials. theguardian.com/environment/20… 1/🧵

@courtghoward @TheEconomist @KateRaworth @spignal could you explain some of the evidence behind “green growth” being compatible with ecological boundaries in this piece? Many readers surely would appreciate a debate based on science, not ideology, as ecological disruptions intensify.

@spignal It’s not about “left” or “right” anymore. It’s about what can allow sustainable human well-being and fair distribution of limited resources. Debates should focus on who has the best evidence, not their political affiliation or age.

The world's major economies are being overhauled to make them more green. A band of lefty Europeans met in Brussels this week with a more radical plan: to deliberately shrink the economy instead. Meet the de-growers. My take for this week's Charlemagne. economist.com/europe/2023/05…

The true cost of climate change is felt in our hospitals and in our health. The health burden of polluting energy sources is now so high, that moving to cleaner and more sustainable choices for energy supply, transport and food systems effectively pays for itself.

Glad to see health impacts mentioned in #IPCC PR: "heatwaves, heavier rainfall & other weather extremes..increase risks for human health...people are dying from extreme heat...food & water insecurity is expected to increase" Pic from our recent paper rb.gy/vfsc0k

"My country only emits 1% of global emissions. What it does makes no difference". It's a common claim. But add up the emissions of countries that emit less than 2% each (a 'negligible amount') – they emit more than China. Imagine if they all decided to do nothing.

It’s REALLY important for everyone to understand the truth that designing your city for cars fails for everyone, including drivers. Designing a city with CHOICES in how to get around works better for everyone, including drivers. Think we could we get to 1 million views of this?
