Our world is dying as a livable planet
Crops will not grow in this deadly heat
Earth will eventually turn hostile to all life
But main priority of every Govt on Earth is not saving life on Earth but more economic growth and development
That is how insane humanity is as a species

[Matthew Todd 🌏🔥 @MrMatthewTodd]

The media is covering climate more but they are still nervous of telling the full truth: we are gambling with our entire civilisation, as David Attenborough warns here. This is a full blown global emergency and we have to declare it and act like it

2. A totally normal, healthy headline from corporate media as always.

habitat loss through deforestation and urbanization;
widespread use of pesticides;
[abrupt] climate change;
invasive species

We lost the ice sheets back at 0.75/1.25°C of global warming.

Today at 1.25/1.75°C, emissions are still rising to record levels at 560 ppm CO2e.

We won't cope with 1.75/2.25°C impacts.

Capitalism promises rapid extinction via non-climate factors & 2.25/2.75°C by 2045- 2070. 🧵

BREAKING: scientists confirm their growing fears of an ecosystem collapse vortex in the 2020s, '30s, and '40s due to activities of the industrial GDP growth economic system 🧵

Sir #DavidAttenborough

“Things are going to get worse."

"This is the new extinction & we are half way through it. We are in terrible, terrible trouble & the longer we wait to do something about it the worse it is going to get.”

Excellent article

Switching the world to 100% #RenewableEnergy will cost $62 trillion, but the payback would take just 6 years, writes Professor Mark Jacobson @mzjacobson

It's too late to stop Arctic summer sea ice from being destroyed by the world's industrial growth economy - any year now and before mid-century - with catastrophic global consequences. 🧵

A blue ocean event where summer Arctic is gone may happen as early as 2030
A major climate tipping point
Jet stream will lose its power - to move storms and rain in mid-latitudes along -
stuck in one place for much longer - utterly destroying crops https://t.co/5NuvHQ1pBV

Scientists warned about climate change in 1965. Nothing was done. https://t.co/I9VjLrngOt

We are in a serious situation that many did not expect until 2050
Record low Antarctic sea ice
Ocean heat off the charts even before warming EL Nino
Heatwave in Siberia threatening perma frost
Devastating wildfires in W Canada
and still business as usual https://t.co/Eo0hzDkkC2

Summer sea ice in the Arctic has been shrinking fast, and now consistently spans less than half the area it did in the early 1980s
More than 70% of Arctic sea ice is now seasonal, which means it grows in the winter and melts in the summer, when it used to be all year ice

Overheard: Being a woman is kind of like being a cyclist in a city where all the cars represent men. You're supposed to be able to share the road equally with cars, but that's not how it works. The roads are built for cars and you spend a great deal of physical and mental energy being defensive and trying not to get hurt. Some of the cars want you to get hurt. They think you don't have any place on the road at all. And if you do get hurt by a car, everyone makes excuses that it's your fault.

Why are the rich allowed to kill Earth just because they can
Richest 10% responsible for 50% of emissions
If the mega-rich were to pay a climate tax of approximately 2% of their wealth, this would raise 300 billion globally against #climate change

BREAKING: scientists warn that 2023 is now more likely than not going to be the warmest year in recorded history and that the socioeconomic toll of climate chaos El Niño events cannot be overstated 🧵

Below are the two most important metrics of our time. Top: the decline of biodiversity between 1970-2018. Below: global temperatures between 1850-2022.

Shocking new reality
The ocean is losing the basics of life itself Oxygen

Since the 1960s, the area of low-oxygen water in the open ocean has increased by 1.7 million square miles

The tropics will empty first as fish flee to more oxygenated waters https://t.co/5QXyGe5A91
