Scientists want extraordinary transformation of the global economy because they fear collapsing systems and up to 30-70% of species extinct within decades. Do you?

The ocean is the ultimate shared resource, yet we're failing it:

Fish stocks collapsing. Plastic pollution choking ecosystems. Carbon emissions driving ocean acidification & heating.

But we have the opportunity to restore marine abundance.

Today, at the @UN Ocean Conference, I urged world leaders to commit to the action needed to #SaveOurOcean.

BREAKING: Twenty-two bold young Americans sue Donald Trump over his disastrous climate change policies, accusing him of delivering a "death sentence" to their generation.

This comes not a moment too soon...

"Trump’s fossil fuel orders are a death sentence for my generation," said Eva Lighthiser, one of the plaintiffs.

"I’m not suing because I want to — I’m suing because I have to. My health, my future, and my right to speak the truth are all on the line. He’s waging war on us with fossil fuels as his weapon, and we’re fighting back with the Constitution," she added.

The lawsuit was filed in Montana and challenges Trump's disastrous executive orders that declared a so-called "National Energy Emergency." The plaintiffs hail from Montana, Hawaii, Oregon, California, and Florida.

"Our children enjoy the same constitutional rights to life and liberty as adults, yet have been tasked with shouldering the impact of a destabilized climate system without ever having a say in the matter," stated Dan Snyder, the Director of the Environmental Enforcement Project for Public Justice.

"President Trump’s executive orders are unlawful and intolerable, and these youth plaintiffs shall put an end to it," he added.

The lawsuit states that Trump's orders violate the plaintiffs' Fifth Amendment rights to life and liberty by "deliberately worsening" destructive climate pollution that will have massive long-term negative effects on them.

It's undeniable that Trump has been an absolute disaster for our planet. He's bought and paid for by the fossil fuel companies and his new "big, beautiful bill" will cut crucial clean energy credits that our nation desperately needs.

He doesn't care that future generations will be left with a destroyed planet because he'll be long gone and his descendants will be rich enough to insulate themselves from the worst of the devastation. The time to hold him accountable is now.

Please retweet and ❤️ if you support this lawsuit!

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA ... and this has been happening for at least 2500 years, although the vessels were perhaps a tad smaller back then!

When a Government is scientifically illiterate, but doesn’t know it, then its actions (or inactions) can be a recipe for the dismantling of an informed and enlightened Democracy. #ScienceMatters

Perhaps someone in the government, perhaps John Healey, might like to explain what the difference is between the Houthis attacking ships in international waters and the Israelis attacking aid ships in international waters? https://t.co/mFAppwy98z

@ApoPress Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
There's no credible evidence for any supernatural event or the existence of any supernatural entity during the entire history of the universe.
If we cannot leave these mediaeval myths behind us we are truly doomed as a species.

@Emolclause @axios May well be true re. data, but as well as "chaos and contested savings" should be counted the thousands of ruined careers, all dedicated to advancing the US's leading role in science.

Congrats to @theguardian.com for co-launching the #89PercentProject - reminding us that the vast majority want stronger #climate action. The climate denial of the populist right is the minority. Media needs to reflect this & Govts urgently need to act👇 https://t.co/BI71gUD63i

22 April is Earth Day - "Our Power, Our Planet" reminds us that the choices we make today will determine our future climate.

Transitioning to low-emission energy systems will have multiple co-benefits, including improvements in air quality & health.

During the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BC), various oligarchs schemed to overthrow the Athenian democracy.
In one (of many) such episode, they were penned up in a fortress, starved, and slaughtered.
The Athenian democracy survived, to our eternal thanks.

This IS worth watching to the end ...

Are you as moral as you think you are?
This test only has one question, but it's a very important one.

By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally.

The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision.

Only you will know the results so your answer needs to be honest.

THE SITUATION:
You are in Florida, Miami to be specific.

There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions.

You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster.
The situation is nearly hopeless.

You're trying to shoot career-making photos.

There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water.

THE TEST:
Suddenly you see a man in the water. He’s fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the https://t.co/v9Y1GaJUy7 move closer.

Somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is.

It's Donald Trump!

At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him under forever.

YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS:
You can save the life of Donald Trump or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful Republican men hell bent on the destruction of America.

THE QUESTION:

Here's the question, and please give an honest answer.

Would you select high contrast color film or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

@earthcurated It's likely that trillions of planetary civilizations will rise and fall during the course of this universe; few will survive long enough to probe and understand it's deepest mysteries.

Is it worth striving to make Earth the home of one of them?

[NY AG James @NewYorkStateAG]

The Trump administration's accusations are baseless.

I will not be silenced. I will not be bullied. I will not bend, I will not break, and I will not bow to anyone.

The engineering that got us into the climate crisis was impressive.

The engineering that gets us out in time will have to be miraculous.
