Striking map from a new study by Lenton et al.: after 2.7 °C global warming the purple areas will basically be too hot to live.
A billion people could be on the move to cooler lands.

This is what a rigged economy looks like:
In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.
In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.
This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.
That has got to change.
Fosilní dotace: 230 mld. korun.*
(Pro srovnání, dotační program na obnovitelné zdroje Nová zelená úsporám má na období 2021-2030 alokaci 39 mld.)
Stačí zrušit dotace do fosilních paliv, a máme na všechno.
*v r.2020, údaje pro další roky nejsou dostupné, ale dotace pravděp.rostou
F*ck!
The ocean is losing its ability to store heat as the planet warms up
With a record high rate of heat accumulation, that means that more heat is available to warm the land and atmosphere, and to melt ice.
Both relatively and absolutely.
Which is exactly what we see!
I visited @RogerHallamCS21 in prison today. He’s serving a 5-year prison sentence for organising a peaceful protest against climate collapse. That’s the longest sentence for nonviolent action since WW2.
After working through the cold halls and sniffer dogs, I found him in the visitors' area as chipper and visionary as ever. He would quickly dismiss the hardships of prison life - no glasses, no paracetamol for the flu, TVs blaring all night - as “no big shakes” compared to the horrors we face. He takes prison in his stride as a resistor.
The criminalisation of protest in the UK and across the world is eroding our democracy. It’s a toxic limitation on our rights and freedoms. However, Roger doesn’t want your sympathy or any Free Roger campaigns. This is his 7th time inside, and he remains laser-focused on the mission at hand. He wants people to go into resistance. Only people power will shake the behemoth of the oligarchy.
He laid out his vision for a new society built on cooperation, assemblies, and mutual aid. The climate and social shocks are now locked in. The Institute of Actuaries predicts 4 billion deaths at 3C warming in the following decades. All else now pales to the horror we face.
Roger isn’t an easy person to work with. He moves like fire, igniting and burning movements with his endless energy. Those close to him know what pain this can leave in its wake. What always draws me back to him, though, is his determination to spark a revolutionary moment.
This is what we dream of—a new society based on care and compassion to ward off the worst of social breakdown. Yes, that’s fascism and genocide, in case you’ve missed it. Every right and dignity we win now is a step towards that progressive revolution.
To be part of it, join the 1000+ people outside the Royal Courts of Justice in London on Jan 29th and 30 from 9-5 to demand the release of all political prisoners. We will resist. If you can't make it, donate to @defendourjuries, and you'll be there in spirit.
This is our moment to check the creep of authoritarianism. Don’t miss it, or you’ll be next in the cells..
🚨 Trump’s back, but here’s why Big Oil should be scared...
Trump might deny climate change, but he can’t deny reality forever. People power is rising and the tide is turning against fossil fuels. Not even the White House can stop it.

Střelba na konvoj OSN v #Gaza. Izraelské s��ly ostřelovaly zřetelně označ. vozidla s pracovníky ve vestách OSN. Oběti nejsou hlášeny.
Jedno vozidlo dostalo nejm. 5 zásahů při čekání před kontrol. stanovištěm izraelských sil.
Šlo o plánovaný přesun OSN schválený izraelskými úřady.
In Milei’s Argentina, farmers are trashing hundreds of tons of tangerines instead of selling them.
A spokesman for local growers says the fruit "rots because people don't have money to buy it."
Hundreds are dying of heat stroke in South Asia as temperatures of up to 50°C continue, but it just isn't major news for most of the world.

What people don’t realise is that voting is now pointless in a world where the necrosystem of capitalism owns us regardless of who we support, the media have rendered truth irrelevant, and politicians are there to pretend that we have a choice in all of this, if we vote for this and that person
We have No Choice as long as this profit-driven civilisation is determined to eat itself

Shocking footage of an Israeli army dog attacking and viciously biting a 66 year old Palestinian woman in her house in Jabalia city, North of Gaza. Cowards!
@TyndallCentre@KevinClimate "Being impacted by 2, 3 or 4 degrees of climate warming will be utterly devastating. There isn’t a non-radical way out of this. There would have been if we started in 1990. we chose not to. We chose not to in 2000, in 2010 and in 2020. So radical change is inevitable now."

Pražská policie nechce cyklisty na chodníku a pořádá proti nim akce, zatímco magistrát vyrábí vizualizace nového Václaváku s cyklisty na chodníku. Tomu se už nedá ani smát.
Za všechno mohou koloběžky a cyklisté. Jen támhle v Troji bezohledný motorkář poslal z přechodu slečnu přímo do Motola. A dnes se to před očima jejích rodičů téměř zopakovalo.
