“Our lifestyle is not up for negotiation."

This has been the basic position of the Western ruling class on the environment since it was first uttered by US president George H.W. Bush at the UN Earth Summit in 1992. The sheer violence of it becomes more apparent every year.

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

"Earth’s wildlife populations have plunged by an average of 69% in just under 50 years, according to a leading scientific assessment, as humans continue to clear forests, consume beyond the limits of the planet and pollute on an industrial scale."

“Despite the science, the catastrophic projections, the impassioned speeches and promises, the burning forests, submerged countries, record temperatures and displaced millions, world leaders continue to sit back & watch our world burn..."

Lithium miners in the High Andes will evaporate around half a million gallons of water to produce a single ton of lithium carbonate.

The rush to mine lithium for EV batteries is set to turn the region’s delicate wetlands and meadows to desert.

Hurricane #IAN will enter the history books as one of the worst to make US landfall, with a triple threat of impacts: severe surge, wind & rain. The rapid intensification near landfall shown by vivid lightning and a clearing eye. A 1-in-1000 year rain event NW of the track @wfla

Worried about worst case scenario w/ #Ian. Tampa's long been sitting duck for catastrophic storm surge & has dodged several bullets. Might not be so lucky this time.

From here, into the atmosphere --- #Russian gas is denied for energy use in Europe because it is "leaking," instead worsening the planet's atmospheric CO2 crisis. Worse, it's leaking from the already-over-heated #Arctic
