I always have to wonder how long it takes humanity to understand that we are part of nature and not the other way around. Clean water, fresh air, forests, wetlands and oceans that store carbon and produce oxygen. And..... nature delights us with its wonderful sight💚🌳🌲🌿🍀💚

@rhosking252 Very true, and that the story we should be talking about

[Robert Redmayne Hosking 🎤🔥🌊🌿🌸🌼 @rhosking252]

"Biodiversity".......do you understand why it's so vital to the balance of our ecological systems....?????

Our planet is an ever changing balance of these systems, when we rip out, and destroy them, we kill this balance.

When we kill these systems, we end up killing ourselves.

#ClimateActionNow #ClimateIsReal The reality is that most of the ealier projects on disaster and weather extrems are already being experienced

[GO GREEN @ECOWARRIORSS]

Ignorant politicians are talking about net zero 2050 when in the real world what was expected to happen in 2050 is already happening now and even more ignorant
Net zero 2050 is decades too late and totally inadequate

[George Tsakraklides @99blackbaloons]

Let me interpret this psychedelic chart for you, as none of the media or politicians will ever dare to look you in the eye and tell you things that will send shivers down your spine.

I WILL.

The end of this planet’s habitable climate for most biological life forms (yes, humans too) is coming: the arctic ice sheet is basically going, pretty soon. All of the following will happen:

1) A lot of cold in some places, even more heat in others. Cold and heat like you’ve never experienced.

2) if 1) isn’t uninhabitably cold or hot, your food will be uninhabitably expensive, that is, if there is any produced.

3) 8 billion people going hungry means only one thing: unrest, everywhere.

Have a good night

Solarpunk is a rebellion against the dark and dystopian narratives of the future. It offers a hopeful alternative, where communities come together to build a world powered by clean energy and collective action.

We only have to get to 4 C above pre industrial levels and most of Earth will be unlivable - which means mass extinctions

[Simon Mwamba @MwambaSimon]

@ECOWARRIORSS Very true, the agro mutlinaltional lobby movement is misleading leaders in many countries

On Feb. 8, global temperature exceeded the 1850-1900 average by 2.01°C, ERA5 data shows, the third time crossing the 2.0°C threshold.

There is a "machine" here that extracts CO2 from the atmosphere, produces oxygen, builds itself, is cheap and additionally delights us with its splendor and beauty.💚🌱☘️🌿🌲🌳🍀💚

"Last week's report from top scientists said that 6 Billion people may die because of climate change in the lifetimes of their kids".......

Mass drought, starvation, hunger, war, collapse are just beginning......

Puts it into perspective don't you think.....?????

#HungryMiningCorporations are never satisfied and they also wnant to go to the depths of the sea

[David Ullrich @DavidUllrich202]

Deep-sea mining

Deep-sea mining is the process of extracting and often excavating mineral deposits from the deep seabed. The deep seabed is the seabed at ocean depths greater than 200m, and covers about two-thirds of the total seafloor. Research suggests deep-sea mining could severely harm marine biodiversity and ecosystems, but we still lack the knowledge and means to implement protections.

Despite this, there is growing interest in the mineral deposits of the seabed. This is said to be due to depleting terrestrial deposits of metals such as copper, nickel, aluminium, manganese, zinc, lithium and cobalt. Demand for these metals is also increasing to produce technologies like smartphones, wind turbines, solar panels and batteries.

@JohnSla59922456 Great, we can keep linking up and sharing more information

[Simon Mwamba @MwambaSimon]

This realy gets me thinking more, will Zambia and other African countries benefit from this #TransitionToGreenEnergy or we shall remain poor with a damaged landscape

[David Ullrich @DavidUllrich202]

We can now only stay under 1.5°C target if we achieve net zero by 2034

To have just a 50/50 chance of limiting warming to 1.5°C, the world must keep future emissions to about 220 gigatons of carbon dioxide, according to the latest estimate. With annual emissions at around 40 gigatons and still rising, we are on course to exceed this by 2029 or earlier.

As a result, keeping that 1.5°C goal alive now requires us to hit net-zero globally by 2034 rather than by 2050, says Joeri Rogelj at Imperial College London.

“There are no social or technical scenarios in the scientific literature that even describe how that would be possible.”

Ocean heat content up 6X since the 1980s! From the 1960s-1980s the oceans stored ~75 Zettajoules of heat per month. Now it's 450. That's because 90% of the excess heat from human-caused climate change, due primarily to the burning of fossil fuels, is retained by the oceans 1/
