Humans are the dumbest species ever to walk the Earth
Virtually eliminating the forests which give us life at ever faster rate
World lost 11 football fields of forest per minute in 2022 and probably much higher this year

If correct, this is jaw-droppingly cataclysmic news for anyone who likes the idea of a future they get to survive.
Imagine a world where news like this is just ignored by our ‘leaders’ & most of the media… https://t.co/rXEBbfQ7fy
What I'm getting at here, is that people, may use the same terms and words, like climate change, the climate crisis, the ecological crisis.
However, if you probe a bit deeper, you find that people's conception of what we are talking about, is actually completely different.

AMOC are the four most important letters in my life.
Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is the main ocean current system in the Atlantic Ocean.
Scientists are predicting its collapse. That means the UK would cool by an average of 10°C and Norway by 15°C. A new ice age.
As much as half of the world’s viable area for growing corn and wheat could dry out.
Even if we truly understood even a little of what is at stake, we would be spending days unable to speak - traumatised by horror and terror.
And then we would know what we are going to be doing for the rest of our lives.
Doing whatever it takes to stop this from happening.
Our press release exposes Biden's Old-Growth Amendment as a logging plan in disguise! The Draft EIS promotes commercial logging, ignoring science & public concerns. Comment until 9/20 to oppose the plan & protect our forests. Link in bio. #StopTheChop#ListenToScience#ProtectMOG
Project 2025 would nullify Biden's climate change executive orders, abandon reducing greenhouse gas emissions, repeal emissions-reducing regulations & eliminate the EPA & Nat'l Oceanic & Atmospheric Admin.
Save our children's future home! Support Dems!

The >60,000 people who took to the streets at #RestoreNatureNow yesterday gained minimal press coverage compared to the 2 people who sprayed paint powder on stonehenge
This is why we take disruptive action
This is the Activist's Dilemma
"1.5 degrees is not a target.
It is not a goal.
It is a physical limit."
@UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres called for us to directly confront the fossil fuel industry, which spends billions obstructing #climateaction

The biggest threat to our survival at this moment is the media. This graph from the University of Reading should have been published on every front page in the world. The public simply don’t understand the magnitude of the threat #JustStopOil

We are witnessing an insect insect apocalypse
Thanks mostly to pesticide industry
In UK a 60% decline in flying insects between 2004 and 2021.
Earthworm populations, have fallen by a third in the past 25 years

A new report paints a bleak picture of a world struggling to wean itself off planet-warming fossil fuels even as the impacts of the climate crisis become more intense and more deadly. https://t.co/hKt8ylMe9i
I don’t believe people are angry at Just Stop Oil. They’re actually angry at being reminded they are doing nothing to defend their children from this. #Stonehenge
UK has approved use of thiamethoxam one of the most deadly pesticides on Earth
A teaspoon of the chemical is enough to kill 1.25 BILLION honeybees.
This despite a 60% decline in flying insects between 2004 and 2021
Earthworm populations, have fallen by a third in past 25 years
Be proud of your voice - your retweets, your quest for more knowledge. You are NOT burying your head in the sand and your stand is not lost. It's really horrific what we face. I feel sorry for us all but also glad that we care so much. @ClimateHuman meme quote #ClimateCrisis
