Our governments are still putting vastly more public money into fossil fuels than renewables, let alone ecosystem restoration. This problem is political not technical, which is why people must take to the streets for a #FossilFreeFuture. #JustStopOil

Ecologists regularly feel despair at the scale of the biodiversity/climate crisis. But sometimes we also witness nature recovery that literally brings tears of happiness. It drives us to carry on doing all we can. Today is one of those days for me. Stand by for more photos! ππ₯²
People on the microphone think Adaptation will be easy peasy π For every additional Temperature of 1Β°C about 7% more Water is stored in the Air so significantly more water is coming down on dry soil and solidified groundwater layer, so rain bombs are now infrastructure killer.
1/ Inspired by the arrival of this beauty, hereβs a thread of books that help us understand and overcome the barriers that people put up to save ourselves from having to think about climate change and take action

To all the climate deniers out there, how do you feel about our world burning π₯? I had a few people call me names and tell me horrific things, now itβs time for them to open their eyes and accept the destruction happening right in front of our eyes with loss of life & nature!
Mangroves are one of the most powerful nature-based solutions to the #ClimateCrisis. Their root system defends us against extreme weather events.
By safeguarding mangroves, we protect ourselves.

It is meant to help humans understand how they are changing the planet with their technology, especially since our population explosion. It discusses how very urgent it is for us to understand our existence, and cooperate intelligently in order to deal with repercussions of our technology such as climate change, loss of species, nuclear risks, AI risks, biotech risks, and so on.
The sum of it all is that countries, leaders, and humans must be educated to care more about the world that we are a part of, rather than just their own interests. This includes showing greater empathy toward our fellow creatures, each other, and this planet we rest upon. This includes toning down our indulgent behaviour that has come from the power gained through our technologies.
We now hold the magic wand to impact the future and it is our responsibility to use it properly.
