And #ipcc reports have been making this point since 2001. When you’re speeding the wrong way, start by focusing on changing direction more than when you’ll reach a precise destination. More from #wg3 climate solutions report: https://revkin.substack.com/p/as-a-new-un-climate-report-gauges-22-04-04

@KHayhoe @MarcosPena1961 Agreed! The #IPCC's "burning embers" "reasons for concern" diagrams said it all as far back as 2001. Risi…

What can each of us do to broaden own participation in climate action?

#ClimateChange needs behavior change supported by policies.

About 2/3 of global GHG emissions are associated with household consumption.
Shifting our individual consumption patterns to low-carbon alternatives is prerequisite for emission reductions.

#IPCCAR6 #WG3 identifies 60 actions (see figure 👇) to change individual consumption and mobility choices with largest potential to reduce our carbon footprints. (1/n)

How many #carbonremoval installations are needed?

To remove annual fossil emissions since ~ 1990, half as many new removal installations as you had spewing fossil CO2 🏭 🚗 wd take 30yrs.

So let's build half the global fossil energy infrastructure again (using fossil energy...)
to remove annually what we emitted annually since 1990.
On top of building global RE + grid...

Impossible? Need 3 more planets?
Well, how long do you want to keep removing CO2, 300yrs? Or 3000?
