Mother Earth is struggling to breathe under the weight of emissions from BP,Exxon mobil,Chevron, and Shell, who are simultaneously posting record profits. It's crucial we demand more from these companies in terms of environmental responsibility.
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!
Top climate scientist: we can’t adapt to what’s coming with climate change.
In other words, we either stop it - or we’re fucked.

Trump said today he wants his legacy to be that of a peace maker
His only legacy will be that he will have helped to have killed billions of people and countless animals as he blocks climate action and drills baby drills
Latest research predicts 4 billion dead in 25 years
When a Science paper casually mentions that we are already at +1.5°c...
We are rapidly charging towards a climate not seen in millions of years.
If ever.
@OhSonoki@jeffhcincy@darrenrovell I don't say billionaires have to spend every penny on others. I'm saying that a billion is too much money for anyone to have, while people are literally dying for not having enough money. It's not that hard to understand.
@OhSonoki@jeffhcincy@darrenrovell I don't care more about people in my own country than people in other countries. My sympathies with people struggling doesn't stop at the border. I wouldn't mind increasing both taxes and foreign aid to for example Gaza. That's the decent thing to do.
@OhSonoki@jeffhcincy@darrenrovell We make up the government together. The government relies on us all. Do you know how much a billion is? There is no reason anyone should have that amount of money while people are starving, homeless or dying from curable diseases.
@OhSonoki@jeffhcincy@darrenrovell We shouldn't have to rely on a few peoples goodwill to feed poor people. The government has to fullfill their part of the social contract and make sure everyone is safe and fed. Do people at your parties have seconds before everyone has eaten once?
@OhSonoki@jeffhcincy@darrenrovell I really don't care if a single mother of 3 doesn't "contribute to society" by feeding her kids instead of paying taxes. I do however have a problem with billionaires buying a yacht when people are starving in the street. Imagine what good that money could do in other places.
@OhSonoki@jeffhcincy@darrenrovell I don't think they should be applauded for paying their fair share. How is it possible that someone is swimming in money while some people die because they can't afford medicine? How can you not feel that something is deeply wrong with society?
