Today, the WMO released the #StateOfClimate report. In 2023, the hottest year ever documented, records were broken for greenhouse gas levels, ocean heat and acidification, sea level rise, Antarctic sea cover, and glacier retreat.
Full report: wmo.int/publication-series/s…

Planting trees in cities is good for people, good for the economy and an important answer to the #climatecrisis.
We have solutions, implement them. #ActOnClimate

👀 Watch Aotearoa New Zealand MP Chlöe Swarbrick deliver the most formidably cogent summary of the 20th century economic order - and how it ruined everything.

Summer temperatures over the last 144 years. Notice a pattern?
We're in a climate emergency. #ActOnClimate

"Today was a day that made history at COP."
@UNDP Global Director of Climate Change @Cassie_Flynn explains the decision to operationalize the Loss and Damage fund on the first day of #COP28 and why it's significant.

Farmers in Kenya are using #solarpower to improve crop yields. The panels help reduce heat stress, reduce water loss, grow larger crops and cut energy bills.
We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

Now @NASA use the climate spiral to communicate how unusual global temperatures were in July 2023.
I made the original version in 2016 which was featured in the opening ceremony of the Rio Olympics.
July 2023 was the hottest month on record, according to our global temperature analysis. Overall, July was 0.43°F (0.24°C) warmer than any other July in @NASAEarth's record, and it's likely due to human activity. Details: go.nasa.gov/3OTWMh7

1. Global warming will continue until we reach net-zero.
2. The climate consequences will keep getting worse until we reach net-zero.
3. After reaching net-zero we will have to live and suffer in a warmer world for generations.
Do we act now or delay further?

Our planet is burning. Millions are under heat warnings as world shatters temperature record after temperature record. This is only the beginning.
The longer we delay. The worse it will be.
No time to wait. Dump fossil fuels. #ActOnClimate

There is a "machine" here that extracts CO2 from the atmosphere, produces oxygen, builds itself, is cheap and additionally delights us with its splendor and beauty.❤️💙💚

The largest animal ever to have lived, the majestic blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus).
Nature is more amazing. Protect it, in all it's forms.

Today is #WorldEnvironmentalHealthDay !
The worsening health of the environment is leading to more infectious disease outbreaks, which calls for cities to invest in early warning systems to predict disease outbreaks 🫁

We suggest that we’re outside the safe operating space of a new planetary boundary for #PFAS in a new perspective in @EnvSciTech pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

This is what a planet in trouble looks like.
The science is undeniable. No time to waste. Protect each other and the planet. #ActOnClimate
