RT @jrockstrom: I just get tired. Tired of hearing that 1.5°C is a "target" or "goal". IT IS NOT. It is a limit. The only real goal is 0°C….

Deep humanitarian underresourcing in Somalia & Niger after a four year drought. Seasons rains have not come again & children are dying in masses. This is but a glimpse of a future warming planet, coupled with radical wealth inequality. We must be better than this & must do MORE.

If you need some perspective this AM, consider this podcast w real world hero Mary-Ellen McGroarty. The unrelenting brightness in this remarkable woman’s voice, considering the abject travesty of the regions & individuals shes served, is testament to the best of the human spirit.
For 20+ years, Mary-Ellen McGroarty has worked for the UN in some of the world's most dangerous places. Currently, she's head of @WFP in Afghanistan. Listen to her inspiring story in the latest episode of our Awake At Night podcast with @MelissaFleming:

Dear headscratchers: scroll down. "All net-zero references in this announcement apply to emissions from oil sands operations (defined as scope 1 & scope 2 emissions)." Scope 3 (up & downstream emissions) -ie in the use of the oil itself, are not included. #thedevilsinthedetails.
Huge news: "Canadian Natural Resources, Cenovus Energy, Imperial, MEG Energy and Suncor Energy formally announced today the Oil Sands Pathways to Net Zero initiative."
