BREAKING: scientists terrified that within a decade global warming will reach 1.9-2.1°C and rising rapidly, described by some experts as "essentially unsurvivable" 🧵

[Leon Simons 🌍 @LeonSimons8]

Even if there'd only be a 5% chance that this warming accelerates further, people need to know and prepare..

This hothouse earth will quickly break tipping points into 4C and 5C. That's civilisation's end game, and we're bang on track for it. How will you live your life in these last moments? In community and resistance or individual nihilism? That's the choice.

This must be stopped- they are literally taking the food from mouths of whales
Krill can remove as much as 23 megatons of c02 from the atmosphere annually. and supports the diets of several whale species, including the largest animals to ever exist, seabirds, seals, and more.

"Bumblebee population increases 116 times over in 'remarkable' Scotland rewilding project."

Read that again: **116** times.

Why are we STILL having to argue the case for rewilding??

Update on how you are going to starve.

The world's coral reefs disappear at 1.5C. We are past 1.5C now and heading for 2C.

THEY ARE DONE. 25% of the world's fish will disappear as well. 1-2 billion people depend on those fish for food.

Thanks to all my followers and everyone who rt for getting the message out on the rapid climate change that is happening now

The biggest social shock of human history is going to be when the first mass mortality event happens suddenly.

Heating of the North Atlantic is extreme.

The summer of 2023 wasn't some crazy natural anomaly.

SIGNIFICANT NEW STUDY PUBLISHED TODAY IN NATURE!

Fibrin "binds to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein," forming clots that "drive systemic thromboinflammation and neuropathology," and it happens "independently of active infection."

Deep sea mining is killing ocean life
1 year after mining test, researchers observed a 43% drop in fish and shrimp populations in immediate area.
Astonishingly, there was an even higher drop in these species in surrounding areas, with a decline of 56%

Dhahran, Saudi Arabia recorded a heat index of 134°F (56.7°C) at midnight tonight.

This is near the upper limit of human survivability.

[Roger Hallam @RogerHallamCS21]

So here's how we should look at all this temperature stuff. The fundamental thing to understand is that there is a cut off point where the human body dies in 6 hours (Wet Bulb Effect)- around 35C to 50C, depending on the humidity. As I keep reminding people, when people die they do not come back - unlike just being ill. These are the two key facts.

The biggest social shock of human history is going to be when the first mass mortality event happens suddenly and what I have written in this post will become the most important information in the world. And then everyone will go - oh fuck fuck fuck. The door of the gas chamber has closed.

THE AVERAGE is completely irrelevant - the horror is in how often the long tail happens - how often a place hits the "all humans die in one day" point.

In case you are interested in how this has worked in history you can read the "general crisis" on the 1C drop in temperatures in the seventeenth century when the global population dropped by a third. You can see that the mass death events happened all in one go when extreme climate events happened - droughts and extreme cold temperatures. When these happened two years in a row it took generations for the population to recover. And it did of course. But this time round it will never change. It will just get worse.

The researchers concluded: “The geographic range and frequency of non-compensable heat extremes will increase rapidly, given only moderate continued increase in global average temperatures. This implies that, in the near future, a substantial portion of the world’s population will be exposed to these non-compensable environmental conditions.” “a real risk” of widespread exposure with “hundreds of millions of people” affected before they were sufficiently heat-adapted to avoid attendant increases in deaths and illness." https://t.co/SUTKgFGrsA…….

Toxic sediment plumes created by ocean mining have been shown to suffocate, starve and poison marine life
A small-scale, 2-hour mining experiment on the Takuyo-Daiichi off eastern coast of Japan caused fish and shrimp populations to drop by 43% in immediate mining area and 56% in surrounding areas

[Thomas Reis @peakaustria]

World on fire. A smoke cloud nearly a quarter the size of North America is currently covering Brazil and its neighbors. Nothing to see here.

Not a single word from governments or the media about mega fires or toxic smoke clouds size of a continent. I don't know what to say anymore.

36 years ago today, @DrJamesEHansen already forecasted the changes to our climate we are experiencing now.

The foundations built by giants of science are humbling.

We need to stay vigilant to make sure that we use today's knowledge as stewards for the common good.

The Netherlands🇳🇱 invests €595 million, or €35 per resident, annually in cycling infrastructure.

Does it seem expensive?

The average Dutch person travels 912 km annually, saving the health system 19 billion euros (3% of GDP).

[Scott Santens @scottsantens]

This is it. This is the logic. This is what everyone needs to understand. Federal spending to reduce poverty is an investment with an ROI that is better than 1:1, especially child poverty, which is a 10x investment. Poverty prevention pays for itself.

This is how to get to UBI.

[Prof. Eliot Jacobson @EliotJacobson]

Have you ever heard someone say that 1°C of warming equals 7% more atmospheric water vapor? Are you seeing news stories about floods almost every day? Have you been flooded out?

You can see what's going on right here, with the huge gain in "total column precipitable water":
