The rate of climate change is now 10 times faster than at any time in the last 65 million years which means extreme weather will obliterate crops all over the world within a few years but this isn't front page news because there are more important things to focus on right now ok?

Don't take your eye off the ball: COVIDー19 is part of a staggering global Ecological Catastrophe encompassing habitat destruction, climate breakdown and chemical & plastic pollution, threatening billions of lives and all driven by the insane death cult of capitalism.

When I suggested that the 2020s would shake us I didn't think it would start immediately, but there you go. The threats we face mean we need to entirely change our economic, political & social systems. Degrowth is what we need to investigate now. Changes are certainly coming.

greenhouse gas emissions are now so out of control that if we don't stop them in the next 500 weeks the Earth's climate will turn back into what it was 3 million years ago and most species won't be able to cope with such a sudden change, apart from that I'm fine how are you?

Remember: 1. Soil depletion 2. Arctic ice melt 3. Coral elimination 4. Ocean destruction 5. Food & water crises 6. Permafrost collapse 7. Rainforest fragmentation 8. Ecosystem breakdown 9. Biodiversity annihilation 10. Pollinator extinctions Media downplay these. How dare they?

Glaciers have shrunk to the lowest levels ever recorded and are now melting faster than ever, with catastrophic consequences for all life on the planet. [THREAD]

In September: 1000 elephants will be slaughtered; 50,000 kids will die from toxic air; 1 million tons of plastic will enter the Ocean; 4 million flights will pollute the skies; 3 billion tons of CO₂ will be emitted. Will the Ecological Crisis be front page news every day?

In 2017, scientists found that tropical rainforests were only several years’ worth of deforestation away from the critical point beyond which they'll shift from human-caused destruction to unstoppable self-collapse. ⚠️ salon.com/2018/04/09/tropica… nature.com/articles/nature25… 👇

Show me lists of the top 100 companies that: kill forests run factory farms make pesticides build unsustainably overfish oceans mine lithium/cobalt make arms make plastic make luxury goods encourage waste promote hunting influence climate silent media The system is responsible.

Ok, listen the fuck up everyone. Scientists know that it's too late to avoid catastrophic 2°C of global warming which will then lead to 3°C hell due to feedbacks which have the potential to run out of humanity’s control. We have ZERO months left to act. xitter.cf/ClimateBen/status/1151…

⚠️ Why don't our newspapers 📰 endorse Green political parties? 📰 endorse genuinely socialist politicians with a green stance on economic policy? 📰 reject right-wing myths of green growth & billionaire philanthropy? 📰 value agroecology? 📰 analyse the Antarctic each week?

⚠️ Why don't our newspapers 📰 focus on system change as a response to the Ecological Emergency? 📰 make clear the urgent nature of this unprecedented existential crisis? 📰 value postgrowth economics? 📰 put Ecological Collapse as top story? 📰 analyse the Arctic each week?
