Climate Crisis is a Healthcare Crisis.
We must remember that we do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.

AMOC is weakening. New Potsdam Institute study: once it collapses, it stays collapsed. The point of no return was 350ppm CO₂. We crossed that in 1988. We're at 430 today. Without the Gulf Stream: US East Coast winters get extreme. Europe loses 7°C. Southern Ocean releases 83 gigatonnes of CO₂. The fossil fuel industry knew about AMOC in the 1980s. Same decade we crossed 350. The EPA just stopped regulating the emissions driving it.

Literally devastating news
And almost certainly even worse because the models don't include the effects of huge volumes of Greenland meltwater pouring into the North Atlantic at a rate of 30 million tonnes AN HOUR

Starmer should immediately & unequivocally ban access to British airspace to US warplanes. The UK must not be accomplice to a US President who is threatening more war crimes. Period.
Such awesome beautiful birds that should be cherished not hunted down and killed and pushed back to extinction
And I am sorry to tell you EU is joining Trump in targeting and mass killing of these birds just because they eat some fish to survive
Whilst mega factory ships plunder all
This is an extremely disturbing study.
According to new research reported here, the probability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) collapsing due to climate change is much higher than previously believed.
One author said: "We found that (on our current policy trajectory) the tipping point where the shutdown becomes inevitable is probably in the next 10 to 20 years or so." AMOC collapse would then follow by 50-100 years.
The AMOC is what brings warm water from the equator up to the west coast of Europe, keeping that region warm and wet, and circulates cold water from the Arctic down south.
AMOC collapse would cause dramatic cooling in Europe, particularly in Britain and Ireland, France and the Nordic countries, with average temperatures dropping by up to 8C. Icy.
Studies have found this would have a dramatic negative impact on agriculture in Britain. In the USA, it would cause higher sea level rise on the east coast.
The research on this is striking because so far the negative impacts of climate breakdown have affected the global South more than the global North. This may be one reason that Northern governments have been slow to respond. But AMOC collapse changes this calculus.
We can still avoid this risk, but it requires rapid emissions reductions, much faster than governments are presently planning to achieve. It will require strong public finance mechanisms and public works, to overcome the inertia of capital, and will require degrowing unnecessary forms of production.

The Global Sumud Flotilla is approximately 3 days from Gaza with nothing but humanitarian aid on board. They have Naval support from 3 countries now. Don’t rely on mainstream media to keep you properly informed.
Your attention and support is vital. Repost everything!
🚨MISSING: Ed Miliband
Net Zero Minister, once so opposed to Heathrow’s “unconstrained growth” he threatened to quit Cabinet.

Needed for: new Carbon Delivery Plan, made nearly impossible by the Transport Sec's ✅for Gatwick expansion.
The Freedom Flotilla sailing to Gaza 🇵🇸
Over 50 boats from 44 countries, across 6 continents
To feed Gaza; break an illegal 18yr 🇮🇱 siege, to expose genocide
Mainstream media & western ‘leaders’ ignore them
So shout their message:
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
"This is the most horrific thing that most of us have any witnessed in our life times.. this is a live streamed genocide, there is no limit to the atrocities that Israel is committing against the Palestinian people"
British doctor James Smith, who has spent time working in Gaza.
Truly bizarre.
The normally verbose @DPJHodges won't answer.
Let's try again.
You unconditionally support Israel's assault on Gaza.
Do you support the Israeli army's operational decision to gun down dozens of civilians seeking food in Khan Younis:

A 63% decline in flying insects in just 3 years.
WE CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT INSECTS.
A sane society would be doing EVERYTHING in its power to reverse our unprecedented biodiversity loss.
Instead we’re led by growth-obsessed psychopaths intent on hastening it.
A study calls for a limit to global warming to 2°C to avoid detrimental impacts on crop diversity and production in more than half of global cropland areas. Especially affecting the tropics where many of the world’s most vulnerable nations are located.

The government fines the water companies, and their customers foot the bill - with a bit extra on top because they have to keep their shareholders happy with big fat dividends. It’s f*cking WATER.
> 1000 people filled the road outside the Royal Court of Justice to protest imprisonments of peaceful protestors
The Govt can be left in no doubt about our determination in defence of the right to protest
The judiciary can now see what they provoke when they sacrifice justice
