Residents of the Canadian village of Lytton fled their homes just in time to escape a raging wildfire that reportedly engulfed the entire place in 15 minutes.

The village recorded Canada's hottest temperature for three days in a row. pic.twitter.com/TkIli8ivcq

Everybody knows people in big cities drive less in daily life.

But did you know they have more emissions from *air travel*? [and yes, that's controlling for income, etc]. Why is that?

Animated diagram of the Earth's Carbon Cycle and how it has changed over time.

Carbon, in various forms including CO2 and organic materials, is continually exchanged between the atmosphere, oceans, and biosphere.

However, human activities have perturbed the carbon cycle. pic.twitter.com/TvHgi2CwUD

CO₂

1. It's very likely vital for decent survival that we don't stay at +350ppm for centuries

2. We hit the +350ppm extreme climate change danger zone in the 1980s

3. We need profound economic system change action now to stop emissions as we head for +500-700ppm by the 2080s pic.twitter.com/EhIYQwrzGY

1/n Warum waren wir in der Coronakrise für Verbote bereit, in der Klimakrise (noch) nicht? Weil dort der Nutzen innerhalb kurzer Zeit sicher war. Der Nutzen von Verboten im Klimaschutz kann von anderen zerstört werden, und er stellt sich nur stark verzögert ein. https://t.co/AAE9IJ1XTI

Permafrost is a big topic in climate science. The release of methane, the damage to infrastructure & the massive Siberian craters often make the news. But there’s one area that’s mentioned far less often but is also of huge importance – that is Arctic coastal erosion. Thread 1/17 pic.twitter.com/1CwnzbD24R

3) I came to the conclusion a very long time ago that this whole narrative about why things are as they are and why there's been a failure to heed the climate and ecological crisis is false, a gigantic lie i.e. a huge misdirection.

Major new study out today: Climate scientists have refined one of the most important metrics they use to predict warming.

For a given amount of emissions, we can now expect global warming to be worse.

This makes rapid emissions cuts even more important.https://t.co/3iDVRFLD3l

75% of all food crops rely on the insects, birds and bats now being wiped out by industrial agriculture, fossil fuels, and deforestation. Half of North American bird species will face extinction by the 2030s. Bats and insects? Already struggling to survive. Isn't this…big news?

Global temperature now stands at 1.2 °C above the mean for 1880-1910, according to NASA data. And that without an El Niño event (the peaks in 1998 and 2016 were due to strong El Niño). Global cooling forecasts by climate skeptics because of the dim sun were nonsense. Of course. pic.twitter.com/QRi6padhw5
