The planet has been sending warning signs for decades.
The question is no longer whether we hear them.
The question is whether we will finally listen.

This is Dr James Hansen, the then NASA scientist who woke the world up to climate change in 1988.
He warns here that climate change will be the equivalent devastation to a direct hit from an asteroid.
The media doesn’t believe this and so won’t make it clear to you.
They think they know better.
The media are the problem.
I’ve been saying for a long time, this is going to be a ‘food price’ crisis, then a ‘food shortage’ crisis, then a ‘watching the people you love starve’ crisis.
"Extreme heat is not a future threat. It is here.
It is becoming more dangerous.
And unless we act to protect people & tackle the root cause of the crisis it will become deadlier still."
-- @antonioguterres as @WMO forecasts even hotter months ahead.

Wildfires fanned by heavy winds burned across multiple areas of Greece, including near Athens, with large-scale firefighting operations and emergency evacuations underway https://t.co/Pl8qLHOTx0
You think your worst years define you.
Your brain just made that up.
We don't remember life as it was. We remember its loudest moments. And then we mistake those moments for the whole.
Dear Humanity, #ClimateChange threatens our existence.
If we don't act soon there'll be catastrophic biodiversity loss & untold amounts of human misery.
Time's running out.
Yours,
15,000 concerned scientists
Act, before action is no longer possible. #ClimateCrisis
