the world needs to be safe, and renewable energy is the option

Our latest video is out now; with a back-to-basics explanation of the problem with Carbon Dioxide and its role in Climate Change. More to come!

Since the start of the industrial revolution, the world has been emitting more & more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In our new video, IEA’s Carl Greenfield & Mathilde Fajardy discuss why rising CO2 levels pose a problem for the climate. 📺⬇️

The holidays will be over and we'll be left with the giant that is climate change. Now that most of the people are in their native homes for the holidays, what better time to reach lots of people including our families about climate change. The thing is, most people really don't know the science behind it, or what to do about it really. #climatefresk is the way to begin.

This is just a small reminder that humanity should develop so-called green energy and reduce CO2 emissions. “One of the main and fundamentally guiding laws of life is the conservation of energy principle, which means that energy is neither created nor destroyed, but just changes forms…” #carbondioxide #co2emissions #co2 #co2reduction #renewableenergy #greenenergy #energy

The Aral Sea, once one of the largest bodies of freshwater in the world, is disappearing because of climate change and decades of mismanagement. This is the third in @AP climate's series on the area, which is a hopeful story of life starting to pop up amid desolation. By Victoria Milko and Ebrahim Noroozi https://lnkd.in/diPYpWE2

This is just brilliant - not only was it 2/3 women, who know the importance of thinking long term and protecting the planet and their future children and grandchildren, but a joyous strong occasion demonstrating a WILL for change. I hope Swiss parliament take this action seriously. We don't have time. For a quick reminder : The ocean is warming due to increased fossil fuel burning. Even though so far from Switzerland (yet so connected) it has been absorbing our excess energy generated by our anthropogenic heat to the tune of 7 Hiroshima bombs per second. Without it, the average surface temperature, which is currently around 15°C, would instead be around 50°C. Switzerland has experienced one of its hottest average summers on record. Ocean warming, deoxygenation and acidification are increasing exponentially. Swiss glaciers have lost 10% volume in 2 years. Scientists say due to climate breakdown caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Just this week I was shocked to be offered bonds in the following with ratings of BBB to A+ (who is rating these?) BAT CAPITAL CORP - tobacco (Dr Bronwyn King AO!) EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION (oil and gas) WELLS FARGO & COMPANY - h SYNGENTA FINANCE AG Something is rotten in the State of Switzerland!

Collective action for contributions towards positive change is good and needed Peaceful effective demonstrations can influence mindsets Our climate has not been damaged overnight we must repair together short, mid and long term and maybe more importantly ensure future global impact by us all is sustainable
