🚨 No more sugarcoating. The UN just confirmed the 1.5°C climate limit is effectively dead. We will breach it within years, not decades. We are officially entering a dangerous "overshoot" era. Current policies track us to a lethal 2.6°C.
What does crossing 1.5°C actually mean? It means a massive surge in compounding weather disasters. We aren't just talking about hotter days, as we are looking at abrupt, unpredictable severe droughts, collapsing ice sheets, and extreme floods happening all at once.
It gets worse. Rising sea levels will trigger permanent coastal submersion, threatening to completely swallow island nations. Simultaneously, brutal severe droughts will collapse global crop yields, causing skyrocketing food prices and widespread shortages.
We are completely unprepared.
The Ukraine-Russia War has descended into an extremely dangerous situation teetering on nuclear war. Today Russia notified Great Britain that Moscow is ready to strike British military bases and defense contractors for supplying Ukraine with Storm Shadow missiles and drones that are hitting targets deep inside Russia. A Russian attack on UK would activate NATO’s Article 5 that requires all NATO members to attack Russia. If such an event develops in days or weeks, a nightmare beyond our comprehension will plunge the world into darkness. This is the highest level of nuclear war danger since the 1962 Cuba Missile Crisis. https://t.co/PdNbRqU46M
