Billionaires are responsible for a disproportionate amount of CO2 emissions.
Their investments in fossil fuels, concrete production and animal agriculture are driving the climate crisis.
To stop the #ClimateCrisis we need to TAX Billionaires

Obstructionists say taking urgent climate action would be too expensive - because they assume that taking no action costs nothing
In reality, inaction so far will cost ONE FIFTH of global income by 2050
Ending fossil fuels is the cheapest and least disruptive option we have
Everything that this civilisation has ever achieved is built on ecological fraud.
It is built on stolen habitats, consumed resources, assassinated species. We paid for it all through a series of heists which bankrupted this planet.
The Ponzi scheme is collapsing though. The planet has come to collect the debt.
Liquidation of assets in process as we speak

Earth Day messaging is still stuck at the "recycle harder" level, when what we need is the "sue & disrupt the fossil fuel industry out of existence and put the executives who've spread lies in prison, as billions of lives and life on Earth is at risk" level
For every degree C that Earth’s atmospheric temperature rises, the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere can increase by about 7%.
A warmer world is a one with heavier precipitation events, even in places where average rainfall may remain unchanged. https://t.co/NL4j2QD3rI
Well, this sounds suboptimal
New study finds climate change likely to do $38 trillion in economic damage a year by 2050.
(Total current world gdp is $101 trillion)

This is what is called passing a climate tipping point, NOT approaching one - right.
Northern permafrost region emits more greenhouse gases than it captures, study finds

"If the methane that is trapped in there were emitted over, for example, a 20 year period, the global temperatures would probably rise by about 5-8C."

The dystopian #climatebreakdown Armageddon is here. It is no longer a future dystopia. It is the present.
It is the planet where you won’t be able to go outside either because it’s too hot, too flooded, or you’re afraid someone will steal your bags as you come out of the supermarket. And kill you because they are so hungry they are off their face on adrenaline.
You will starve in your dark apartment with no electricity. But your fascist government (who you voted for out of desperation) will reassure you that it has “a plan”
Here’s your plan.
You’re looking at it in this photo. That’s you in that car. A lost soul, a generation paying for the crimes of the industrial devolution. The crimes against Gaia.

"The fossil fuel industry gets 11 million dollars in subsidies every single minute"..........
What sort of sick fucking lunacy is this....????
The sort that must be outlawed with brand new laws that ban all fossil fuel subsidies.........
#BanAllFossilFuelSubsidies
Civilisations can survive without technology or organised society, but they can’t last more than a few days without food. Food won’t grow on scorched soil, and farmers won’t survive in lethal temperatures.
As nations starve, global war over the diminishing water and land resources food production requires is inevitable. Hunger and/or war will find you wherever you are, whoever you voted for.

Important new PIK study. A shift in our diets could make a considerable difference if we do not want to crash through the 1.5°C limit in the next 10 - 15 years. This calls for globally concerted efforts to support the transition towards sustainable healthy diets.
It's time for urgent Revolution and it's all happening.

Looking on the bright side we now know the existing political arrangements are going to collapse.

We warned you about this #ClimateCrisis. Now it’s here
"The planet is desperate for visionary leadership. The planet is desperate for policy that creates an equitable transition away from fossil fuels, and into #ClimateEmergency mode as a society."

Our future climate – what’s in store?
Risks increase with every increment of warming.
As warming levels increase, so do the risks of species extinction or irreversible loss to biodiversity in ecosystems such as forests, coral reefs & in Arctic regions.

I want to be alive to see a revolution. To see 25% of the population who can flip the system through civil disobedience.
It's part of what keeps me going. You?
#ClimateEmergency
Do you think it will happen? I do.
Do you think it's too far gone for it to matter?
