    We had been warning about this (#Mediterranean as a climate change hotspot), but the "i told you so" will not help. And perhaps we had not thought it would come this fast...

    You cannot imagine the euphoria that the ipcc synthesis report is pre-approved in the longest plenary ever! After 46 hours with a total of 3 hours of sleep...

    Sweden's chief epid: “W calculated on more people being sick, but the death toll really came as a surprise to us.” Curious. How many of us, laypeople&experts, have been warning about the hi death toll to come...? @DrEricDing @tomaspueyo @WolfgangFeist businessinsider.com.au/coronavirus-sw…

    Even in a 1.5°C scenario with the most extreme levels of CO₂ removal (green), CO₂ emissions decline ~90% at the time of net-zero CO₂ emissions. It is not possible to offset your way out of the climate problem: deep emission reductions are essential. cicero.oslo.no/no/posts/klima…

    The top 1% emits more than 2/3rd of the global population, or 5 BILLION ppl. If they just halve their emissions - for which who else if not them - global emissions would plummet, without touching the poorer 2/3rd. Why do we never talk about this? podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6L…

    Finally caught up on some sleep on my way home from the @IPCC_CH approval plenary of the synthesis report. 3 hours of sleep in the last 60 hours - but was worth it!! Very proud of the outcome, esp figure 7!

    #B117 is a catastrophe. #Hungary vaccinated close to 20% of its population, at least another 20% already had #COVID19, still, we have over 1000 new cases/mln for weeks, WORST in the WORLD, despite an extensive #lockdown, schools closed. What can we be doing wrong?? @DrEricDing

    CONGRATULATIONS!!! the IPCC's Working Group 1 report has been approved, made history in a fully online plenary! Hundreds of delegates from 140+ countries worked online in impossible hours, and we have an Assessment Report that is much improved as a result of their work!!
