We’ve pushed coral reefs to the brink with warming, pollution and over-fishing. Saving them now means crossing the tipping point — in reverse.

GEEN nieuw vliegveld in een klimaatcrisis. ❌✈️ Genoeg is genoeg. ✋

Middenin een klimaatcrisis een nieuw vliegveld openen? Dat is vliegen richting de afgrond. Vind jij ook dat Lelystad Airport nooit open mag? Teken de petitie > doemee.greenpeace.nl/actie/zet-ee...

This is such sad news.
I don't say this often but: I'm so proud to be a climate and environment reporter. We cover an issue that is vitally important to humanity and the natural world. 14 of my climate colleagues at the Post were laid off today and I'm devastated.

Het nieuwe regeerakkoord is allesbehalve een stap riching een duurzame toekomst. Sterker nog, het draait zo'n toekomst de rug toe, met on-duurzame en niet-vernieuwbare energie en het openstellen van Lelystad Airport.

Je wil dit toch niet geloven: Lelystad Airport gaat open voor civiel gebruik en voor groothandelsverkeer; met 10.000 vliegbewegingen en Schiphol krijgt alle ruimte.

Weten we nog dat Remkes.zei:"niet alles kan". Nou, hoe rechtser hoe meer er kan. De rekening is voor later(re geslachten).

Overwinning voor het klimaat, maar tegelijkertijd een veeg teken dat de politiek onwillig is om de mensheid (ja, grote woorden passen hier) te redden van groot leed.

Het is wéér de rechter die orde op zaken stelt - de meest betrouwbare pilaar van de samenleving, mogen we wel zeggen.
Historisch vonnis! NL moet binnen 18 maanden klimaatplan vaststellen met bindende klimaatdoelen en plan voor Bonaire. Grote opdracht voor het nieuwe minderheidskabinet.

Geen uitstel, geen halve maatregelen, maar versnelling van de klimaataanpak. Groen en sociaal.🌍⚖️

11/ Treating this report as a turning point doesn’t just misunderstand history

It lets power off the hook by implying the problem was *who* was speaking, rather than what interests were being protected

We’ve had warnings, from scientists, environmentalists, & security analysts for a long time!

You may’ve seen coverage of a new report on the threat to national security from environmental collapse.

A common response that’s got my goat is: “Look, it’s not just tree-hugging enviros saying this, it’s hard-nosed spooks!”

This is one of the cheapest and most sensible forms of climate action. And also something governments and the EU should have done decades ago.

*ONDERZOEK*

Wij zijn ervan overtuigd dat anderen meer risico lopen om getroffen te worden door klimaatrampen. Zelf zal ons dat niet zo snel
overkomen.

Dat is de uitkomst van een groot onderzoek dat is gedaan door een team psychologen.

Deze hersenkronkel is sterker in Europa dan in Azië.

A study of 70,000+ people shows we consistently rate our personal climate risk lower than others'. This bias is stronger in Europe than in Asia. #ClimateChange #RiskPerception

Which option do we choose - act or delay?

These are the 'warning' stripes highlighting global choices. Do we act rapidly and keep global temperatures below 2°C, or delay and end up in a 3°C world (or worse)?

New study just out finds “efforts to repress climate and environmental protest are growing worldwide through a combination of new legislation, novel uses of existing legal processes, police actions, vilification of activists and both violence and killings.”
