Tonight, I am proud to have earned the support needed to become our party’s nominee.
Over the next few months, I'll be traveling across the country talking to Americans about everything on the line. I fully intend to unite our party and our nation, and defeat Donald Trump.
#ClimateChange is caused by human greenhouse gas emissions. We’re causing #globalwarming 100 times faster than past natural changes
We are taking Earth’s climate beyond natural limits with carbon dioxide & temperatures levels not seen for 3 million years.

"Dear friends, scientifically, this is not a #ClimateCrisis. We are now facing something deeper. Mass extinction. Air pollution. Undermining ecosystem functions. Really putting humanity’s future at risk. This is a #PlanetaryCrisis."
— Professor @jrockstrom#ActOnClimate
Dear Humanity, #ClimateChange threatens our existence.
If we don't act soon there'll be catastrophic biodiversity loss & untold amounts of human misery.
Time's running out.
Yours,
15,000 concerned scientists
Act, before action is no longer possible. #ClimateCrisis
We should all be furious that as a year of climate fueled event wreaks havok on our planet more isn't being done to stem the tide.
Record heatwaves, record floods, record droughts, and record wildfires. How many more records before we #ActOnClimate?

In 1985, Carl Sagan told Congress that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperature, cause climate change, melt glaciers and ice sheets, and cause sea level rise. Imagine if we had listened to him them.
No time to wait. #ActOnClimate#climate
"Leave fossil fuels in the ground. It's so simple.This is the most important predicament humanity has ever faced and by design as a result of the enormous oppressive power of the fossil fuel industry, we're flunking it." George Monbiot.
No time to waste. #ActOnClimate

Another bit of pure facts from Mark Goldbridge.
He’s a Manchester United fan, yet he has the common sense to know that Liverpool are being cheated out of a Premier League title.
Loads of respect for him.
PGMOL truly is a shambles.

Please share this information because it is not being made clear...
1. The collapse of the Atlantic Ocean circulation (AMOC) will be the most devastating event in the last 10,000 years of human history.
2. It will happen overnight with sudden effects.
3. It will be irreversible and continue for 1000s of years.
4. It will destroy human civilisation because it will be impossible to grow food in northern Europe - temperatures would drop by 3.4°C. Enough to half the amount of land where you can grow wheat.
5. 100s of millions of Europeans will have to move or starve to death. Those that move will be subject to holocaust events created by warlords and/or fascistic regimes.
6. Coastal cities will have to be evacuated
7. Monsoons in the tropics will collapse, resulting in 100s of millions more refugees.
This is just the beginning - the collapse also will feed into other disastrous climate tipping points like the collapse of the Amazon rainforest. We are looking at billions of deaths and possible effective extinction this century - that now has to be the main concern.
Last but not least, the above scenario is a conservative prediction because it doesn't take into account the non-linear effects of other systems on the AMOC collapse date (e.g the collapse of ice cover in the Arctic, methane release, and mega forest fires).
Why is no one talking about this?
Why aren't there emergency conferences of Europe's farmers?
Why aren't the media going on strike till the government acts?
Why aren't there mass sit-downs in cities for weeks on end?
Because repressed scientists just say that it's "kind of scary" - like saying Auschwitz was "kinda of unpleasant".
The situation is totally fucked.

“Things are going to get worse. This is the new extinction."
"We are in terrible, terrible trouble and the longer we wait to do something about it, the worse it is going to get."

The Ice Is Melting
The Land Is Flooding
The Ocean Is Dying
The Trees are Burning
The Living Planet Is Unravelling
It's happening on our watch.
We can't solve this emergency if we keep expanding the problem. #ActOnClimate#Climate#energy#renewables#go100re
