The burning question: can we limit warming to 1.5°C, while still continuing to build fossil fuel infrastructure and open new extraction fields? According to analysis by @fergusgreen.bsky.social, the only answer is no. We need a new social norm: 💥 ✊ No. New. Fossil. Fuels. ✊ 💥

Golden sunlight bursts through a tangle of budding trees, casting long beams of light across a mossy woodland floor. New green shoots push up through leaf litter and patches of moss, catching the glow of the morning sun. A soft haze fills the air, with a hint of warmth and life returning to the woods.

It's the Spring Equinox - the first astronomical day of spring! ☀️

Longer days. Lighter evenings.

Sunshine warm on your skin, birds singing, blossom in the branches.
