I've rarely read legislation so lacking in underlying coherence and logic as today's bill from the government that would significantly restrict the right to strike - and I quote - in "health services, fire and rescue services, education services, transport...

This might be a good time to remember that Amy Coney Barrett is a climate denier with deep links to the fossil fuel industry.

[Prof Michael E. Mann @MichaelEMann]

This statement is entirely untrue and extremely unhelpful, especially on the verge of breakthrough climate legislation that can limit planetary warming below the 1.5C/3F danger limit.

Says Expert.

If you're painting a fatalist picture on climate, you're not just dismissing technological options for arresting Earth's heating. You're dismissing activists, degrowthers, system-changers, the deepest thinkers on the biggest societal shifts that could un-fuck this problem.

People deserve to know that scientists are pointing to economic system change actions which must start happening within the next 6 months because they're detecting more and more danger signs that warn of a fully completed mass extinction on Earth within around 50 to 250 years. 🧵

RT if you think the world should know that the 2nd draft of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Group III report says we must move away from the current capitalist model.

Airlines do not want you to know the climate impact of your flight.

[Dr. Aaron Thierry @ThierryAaron]

@DoctorVive @SmileItsNathan @TIME Yes! As @SaffronJONeill explains the incongruity can confuse the public as "visual & text-based narratives often pull in different directions" and that "images of ice creams & holidays don’t do much to progress the visual lexicon of heatwave risk"

Worth knowing:

1. one of the top ice scientists in the world says the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is beyond its tipping point and experiencing irreversible collapse

2. satellite observations show Arctic sea ice decline is accelerating; expect ice to start vanishing by 2022-2031

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Those who defend capitalism by saying it "allocates resources efficiently" need to explain why billionaires proliferate while 60% of the global population is unable to meet basic human needs.

Global Warming

0.5°C/0.9°F safe 1990
1°C/1.8°F dangerous 2010
2°C/3.6°F hard to survive 2035-50
3°C/5.4°F chaos 2060?
4°C/7.2°F unthinkable horror 2070?
5°C/9.0°F hellish 2080?
6°C/10.8°F Uninhabitable Earth 2090?

*end deforestation
*zero emissions 2030
*replace economic growth

Follow climate Ben for more uplifting climate facts 👍

Remember:

1. The Arctic is shrinking.
2. The Sahara is expanding.
3. The Ocean is overheating.
4. The Forests are vanishing.
5. The Seabed is disintegrating.
6. The Atmosphere now has the highest levels of CO₂ in more than 20 million years.

None of this is front page news.

[Ben See @ClimateBen]

2C is a death sentence for 100s of millions of people.

At 3-5C, billions could/would die (2C may trigger further unstoppable 'Hothouse' warming).

But corporate media won't explain that the corporate world is committing the most horrifying of crimes.

If it were up to me, I would treat global heating as an emergency. I would scale a lot of things back and make some pretty radical changes at this point, and then gradually build back without any fossil fuel while also rewilding and regenerating.

[Ben See @ClimateBen]

Dangerous Assumptions

1. CO₂ sucking machines will soon work
2. Economic growth isn't destructive
3. Global warming of 2°C won't break us
4. Arctic summer sea ice loss isn't key
5. Permafrost thaw isn't yet a worry
6. Sea level won't rise 0.22m by 2035

THREADs for journalists:

[Ben See @ClimateBen]

Will 2021 be the year when billions of people realise the major ecosystems we desperately need for decent human survival are now collapsing as they're destroyed by a global economy based on greenhouse gas emissions, impossible perpetual growth, extreme inequality & mass poverty?

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

If this is how you act after declaring a "climate emergency" then maybe everyone hasn't fully understood the meaning of that term...
