Five years ago, scientists talked about 'business as usual' warming between four and five degrees celsius. Now they talk about two to three. What does that jagged new world look like? A tour of life at 2C. (1/x) https://t.co/BOaPHQW0cr
“If you have found the past few years stressful and disorientating, if your life has already been disrupted, it is time to brace. Our tightrope walk with no end is only going to become more precarious and nerve-racking.”

HEALTH WARNING:
The government isn’t protecting you.
The media is distracting you.
The corporations are using you.
1.5C is as good as dead.
Civilisation is on course for collapse.
Billions will die.
And all the things society encourages you to do are making things worse.
For the love of God, please wake up, people. Read this. It’s not a joke. Send it to everyone you know. #ClimateEmergency Fight the oil industry lies: https://t.co/ZWITHNnTti https://t.co/gNSNn3sQaM
Get a job, buy stuff, get a car, buy more stuff, travel the world, buy loads more stuff then get a mortgage so you have a house to put all the stuff in. And repeat.
The truth is, we exist only to maintain an economic system which is driving us toward imminent collapse.

NEW: Therese Coffey quietly announced this morning that the government is going to miss its own deadline for setting clean water, air and biodiversity targets.
Embarrassing as they were meant to be done by Oct 31 - in time to be discussed at COP27. https://t.co/BltmFAT9h3
The absolute worst day I’ve had in 15 years as a GP 😕 11 hours without a break, ambulance taking >90 min for a blue light response, abuse from patients (a minority, but still not nice to receive). #TeamGP urgently needs better funding and staffing.
Watched #BBCQuestionTime and had to listen to Julia Hartley-Brewer denying that climate change is an issue. The #bbcqt producers should remember the damage they caused consistently platforming Farage. Allowing someone to spread dangerous misinformation again is shameful.
I often say the most mind-bending fact about climate is that half of all emissions came in the last 25 years. Maybe even more startling: the weight of that carbon is more than the total mass of everything ever built by humans and still standing on earth. https://t.co/BOaPHQW0cr
“I must say, in my professional life as a climate scientist, this is a low point. The window for 1.5C is shutting as I speak, so it’s really tough.” Important interview with @dpcarrington yesterday. We need to act now.

One more piece of evidence on Brexit. Soon our political class will have to talk about this calamity. In democracy the truth eventually surfaces - and those who speak it reap rewards.
