‘No one wants to be right about this’: #climate scientists’ horror & exasperation as global predictions play out

“For those of you who are interested in statistics, this is a five-sigma event. So it's five standard deviations beyond the mean. Which means that if nothing had changed, we'd expect to see a winter like this about once every 7.5 million years.” https://t.co/NnVnjRtc8W

Here are the big takeaways from the @IPCC_CH Synthesis Report released today.

First, climate change has already caused widespread and substantial losses to almost every aspect of human life on this planet, and the impacts on future generations depend on the choices we make NOW.

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

One kind of dumb thing I just realized: when you're on climate twitter you see all the climate disasters popping off all around the world in real time, and people who aren't on here - vast majority of people - much less likely to see how fast and intense this is all getting...

The House did its job. Tonight, Senator Manchin ended the Senate's chance to act on climate.

The climate crisis is inflicting rising costs and mounting dangers across this nation and around the world. It is not too late to act. We only hope one Senator reconsiders.

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

To the endless debate between whether we need individual or systemic climate action, my answer is …

YES.

What is a system made of, other than individuals? And how does a system change, other than by individuals calling for and advocating for and making that change happen?

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Today, many of the fastest, easiest, and most affordable choices we as individuals can make are also the worst choices: for our health & for our world.

That’s why we need systemic change: so the easiest, most affordable choices are also the best choices for us & for our world.

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Two of the most common misconceptions I hear from people who want to inspire others to fix climate change: 1/ I need to make them care about X in order to care about climate change, and 2/ we need to fix X before we fix climate change. But we don't have time for either of these.

People assume the system is on their side. That if flying, eating meat & buying plastic tat was REALLY bad they wouldn’t be allowed to do these things.

But capitalism doesn’t care about us. It only cares about growth. It would rather we all died tomorrow than lose profits today.

[Good Grief Network @GoodGriefNetwk]

Thich Nhat Hanh taught that a grassroots movement is necessary, but insisted that this can be effective only if activists first deal with their own anger and fears, rather than projecting them onto those they see at fault.

We have a mental health crisis because people feel they lack meaning and purpose in their lives

And a planetary emergency that needs everyone to engage to literally save the world

I wish we could connect these better

I just took action on "Tell Governor Whitmer's Administration to Implement The Strongest Possible Climate Plan" -- will you join me? https://t.co/rkVszGycN1

Air pollution killed 10 million people in 2020.

Air pollution also killed 10 million people in 2021.

As bad as #covid is, the death toll from the fossil fuel industry is much much worse.

Every. Single. Year.

Changes in global temperature from 1850-2090 represented by coloured stripes.

Our planet has already warmed by 1.2°C, mainly due to burning fossil fuels.

Our choices over the next decade & beyond will determine our future.

Rapid actions now mean smaller climate consequences.

In uncharted territory, many of us are looking for teachers, guides, or prophets. We'd like to caution against anyone who claims they know where we're going or says they have the answers.
There are no answers. There are questions and community. We get through together.

[Project Drawdown @ProjectDrawdown]

To achieve the most benefits for both biodiversity and the climate, we must start by protecting the Earth’s remaining intact ecosystems. We need to restore the ecosystems we've damaged, and look for other areas of targeted implementation.

The trouble is that once you see it, you can't unsee it. And once you've seen it, keeping quiet, saying nothing, becomes as political an act as speaking out. There's no innocence. Either way, you're accountable.
