5 million fish are killed every minute by fishing industry Super trawlers are devouring the ocean of marine life
These ships can catch, process and store hundreds of thousands of tonnes of fish
This is not sustainable
Make it stop
Ban super trawlers now
Maxing out at around 200 tons, blue whale is not only the largest animal on the planet, it is also largest animal ever to exist
These creatures become so massive by eating a diet almost entirely of krill
But now Norway and China are taking the Krill leaving them to starve

As polar ice sheets and glaciers melt as a consequence of warming, water that was once locked up at high latitudes flows into the oceans and spreads toward the equator
This shifts mass away from Earth’s poles, and – slows Earth rotation.
“A teaspoon of healthy soil holds more living organisms than there are people on planet Earth”
Yet humans are rapidly degrading world soil and threatening world food supply
Without soil, there would be few plants on the land and nothing for us or animals to eat

Our political leaders are turning their backs on their pledge to lower CO2 emissions. We need to send them a message that this is unacceptable and now, due to a UN resolution, backed by 141 countries, illegal. Governments are legally responsible for damages due to climate change
Every minute, we lose Amazon rainforest the size of 3 football fields.
Every. Minute.
That’s 1.4M acres/year for cattle, soy, and timber.
At this rate, your kids get a desert. Still scrolling?
The sheer insanity of this moment.
Where heat and rain records are falling all over the world.
Terrible decades old scientific predictions are coming true.
Politicians like Trump, @Nigel_Farage@TiceRichard@RobertJenrick@SuellaBraverman@KemiBadenoch@gop@conservatives endanger us all in return for oil industry cash.
Leaders such as @Keir_Starmer@AngelaRayner@YvetteCooperMP@AndyBurnhamGM@DavidLammy@SteveReedMP point blank refuse to clearly warn of the threat, more worried about what the Daily Mail will say if they tell the truth.
The media is too uneducated and nervous at best, or corrupt in the case of @DailyMailUK@thesun@Daily_Express@spectator to tell the public the truth, instead focusing on fluff and nonsense.
The public are mislead by the wealthiest industry on earth https://t.co/raXtwt3h4A
And the planet gets hotter and hotter and hotter, soon to put everything and everyone we care about in unprecedented danger which cannot be reversed.
We are truly in a new dark age.
Trying to talk to some public health professionals about aerosol science is like watching someone stand in a room full of cigarette smoke while explaining that the real danger is touching the ashtray.
Every day I turn the media on and people are arguing, debating a hundred issues but almost never do I hear people on the radio, TV, news expressing alarm about the fact we are breaking through weather records on a weekly basis.
Scientists tell us the future will be much more dangerous - more violent, less food, more war, more disease, conditions. hard to tolerate - because of it - and most of the media are silent. Even most of the apparently left wing voices let alone the right who actively deny it’s a problem. It’s truly deadly madness.
Please spread the world
Both Trump USA and EU are now vastly increasing pesticide use knowing this will wipe out our Bees and insects and also a threat to human health
I create my botanical photos using recent research so that looking at them alleviates anxiety & lifts mood & twice a yr I list frameable card sets & prints on Etsy. I haven't been able to work much recently due to depression so buying cards or a print from me would honestly help masses.Pls RT,ty🌿https://t.co/iRLlvlW7Qv
Sharks have roamed Earth for about 450 million years
but now humans are expunging them from the Earth
100 million sharks are killed a year
Nearly twice as many rays — 191 million — are killed annually
33% of sharks are threatened with extinction

Spiralling global temperatures (1850-2026)
It is exactly 10 years since I first put this animated graphic of changes in global temperature online. #ClimateSpiral
It instantly went viral.
People watched it over and over again.
It still offers the power to shock a decade on.
