Not me, Umair. I thought we would fry in the summer of 2020. LA nina bought us 3 years. Now, El Niño could kill us this summer. I seriously don't understand how more people don't see this.
Our world is at boiling point. Emissions rocket, temperatures skyrocket, biodiversity's plummeting. And human habitability is falling in tandem.
The mega-scale impacts of climate change are here — and they’re transforming our lives, far faster than anyone, really, expected. 🧵
@bullshitjobs Extinction is locked in. Some say since the 60's, others say over 100 years ago. Down now to the last days/months. This isn't fixable or debatable.
Unveiling Global Inequality: The Biased Lens of Media Coverage
The wall-to-wall coverage of the Titanic Sub has once again shed light on the persisting racism deeply ingrained in our world.
While the tragic loss of life deserves our utmost sympathy, it is essential to acknowledge the stark contrast in media attention given to different incidents.
Just the same week, another ship sank, resulting in the deaths of numerous immigrants.
However, their plight has been conveniently overlooked by mainstream media.
This blatant disparity in coverage compels us to question the values our society holds dear.
The sinking of a ship carrying hopeful migrants from Libya to Italy, near Greece, should have resonated with the international community.
But as the world came together to celebrate the International Day of Refugees, not a single mention of this tragedy made its way into the headlines.
It is a sobering realization that our society seems to prioritize the lives and stories of the privileged while turning a blind eye to the suffering of the less fortunate.
The media's selective focus on incidents like the Titanic Sub reveals a disheartening truth: our world seems to care only about billionaires, disregarding the countless lives lost and dreams shattered within marginalized communities.
As we witness this unequal distribution of empathy and compassion, we must question the inherent biases within our society and challenge the status quo.
Let us not forget that the voices of the unheard are just as important, if not more so, than those amplified by the media.
The lives lost in the recent shipwreck deserve recognition, remembrance, and justice.
By acknowledging these neglected stories and advocating for a more equitable media landscape, we can work towards dismantling the systemic racism and socioeconomic inequality that perpetuate this skewed perception of value.
Controversial view here.
After this, I am going to stop sharing this graph and information, as I do not believe that it is helpful climate communication.
It robs people of agency and pushes fear with an inability to act.
I haven't seen much info on what we can do about this.
@KennethBarrows3 Wrong. Fossil fuels are required for everything. We will just starve, thirst, and cook. And there are no such things as renewables you child!
@Non_Aggression I've always had issues with schools having sports stadiums. The two should never go together. Schools can't get funding except for their useless stadiums. 1 for baseball, 1 for football and 1 for basketball. Then we have pep rallies and suck off the jocks. It was all just shit.

When this ocean heat translates to land temps we are toast... Which means there is less than 3 months left... The ch4 bomb's effect is already here so it can be few weeks or less... This is the final chapter of our lives.....
@dawn_highsmith@OliLondonTV What about the hundred Pakistanis whose rescue was refused because they were poor. They were on a boat, at the sea surface. Eat the rich. They didn't even suffer. The Pakistanis did. They were left to suffer a grueling death at sea.
@MrJackLowe The only reason so many people in the states know that Canada is on fire is because of the smoke. Still, they don't know or understand any of the significance. The media is doing its job to keep collapse and extinction swept under the rug.
