How to read this graph-

The red = the months of the year we're mining our biophysical foundations to support the scale of the human enterprise.

We've been mining our foundations since 1973.
A some point, our foundations collapse.
Scary thing? No one knows exactly when 🔥

Three minutes of essential viewing from Years and Years by Russell T Davies.

Vivienne Rook, a populist figure who emulates Farage, normalising the use of “camps” to deal with a *British* population stricken by unrest and social collapse.

This is the Reform/ Restore blueprint.

The capitalist obsession with rapid growth at all costs is literally the function of cancer cells.

Biggest science discovery in centuries that shocked scientists, did not even make mainstream news
These deep sea nodules that took millions of years to create, make oxygen, sustain marine life and now are about to be destroyed in seconds by Deep sea mining billionaires

The ability to grow and store grains at scale is what makes civilisation possible, we can't have one without the other.
In my article titled "On the Verge of Starvation" the first paragraph reads: "“By 2027 the world could be facing a 214 trillion calorie deficit, says Sara Menker, founder and chief executive of Gro Intelligence, an agricultural data technology company.”
That analysis predates DJT's war on Iran and the global food supply.

--What made the modern food system seem resilient was never abundance alone. It was geography. Regions like the North American Prairies, Ukrainian Steppe and northern India grow much of the crops that feed humans and livestock.

The system works because crop failures are expected to be local, not simultaneous. If one breadbasket region fails to produce one year, another could cover the shortfall. The Earth itself provides a kind of buffer, but that buffer is thinning.

Multiple breadbasket failures are becoming more likely as climate change increases the chance of simultaneous stress across major producing regions. The danger is no longer only a bad harvest in one place. It is the possibility that several of the regions the world depends on for staple crops could come under pressure at once.-- via Kevin Hester

Want a sober reminder of where we are in addressing the climate crisis?

Over the last 50 years the oil & gas industry has made $3 billion in profits every day. $52 trillion in pure profit: https://t.co/5zW1IF00Xa

"In a rich country why are there so many poor people?"

"Why do you think the rich people are SO rich?"

If you come across human induced Climate change impact denier Dr. Matthew M. Wielicki, note that his expertise is in "petrology" according to @uageosci and he spends his time misleading people. We start with his twitter background image #ClimateBrawl 🧵

@oida_grantler @HubertAiwanger The costs of inaction on climate exceed the costs of action.

[Brian McHugh 🌏🏳️‍🌈 @BrianMcHugh2011]

This is unheard of.

Almost 17 million views for a story about the climate crisis.

Fantastic

Billionaires make sure work doesn't pay.
Landlords make sure housing isn't affordable.
Taxes are only for you.

The system works to keep the people who run it rich and in charge forever.

The system is broken beyond repair.

CATASTROPHIC ABRUPT CHANGE: reduction in the ocean’s CO₂ uptake due to global warming means more CO₂ in the atmosphere which means.. more global warming

[BONUS🌍 @TheDisproof]

🧵You often hear human induced climate change skeptics (especially those funded by fossil fuel lobby groups) say "CO2 is plant food" but this two part video explores what they deny about the damaging climate change impacts on food security and farms. Sources later in the thread.

Post 366: Cryosphere switch, Arctic less ice than Antarctic.

Antarctic gained 521,000km, down to 6th: 11,175,000km and 1.2 million km below av.

Arctic lost 438,000km, kept 2nd: 11,106,000km and 1.2 million km below av.

And Arctic sea ice volume still getting worse (very bad).

I’m worried that people do not understand the consequences of Reform’s policies on the Equality Act 2010.

If you care about defending equality please read and share my article explaining what exactly it means 👇
