In a reasonable world Twitter would be turned into a co-op and governed democratically by its writers, rather than treated like a fiefdom to be passed around from one billionaire to another.

“One-tenth of flights from France in 2019 were on private aircraft. In just four hours, those planes generate as much CO2 as an average person in the EU emits all year. Four-fifths of people on the planet never get on an airplane in their entire lifetime.” bloomberg.com/graphics/2022-…

BREAKING: scientists reveal they now have ample evidence that climate change could lead to worldwide societal collapse or even human extinction even with modest levels of warming 🧵

This should be all over the BBC Homepage along with clear explanations of how economic growth means the utter calamity of between 1.75°C and 2.5°C of global warming within years not decades. But, of course, it isn't.

Coca Cola is the single largest plastic polluter in the world— at over 3 million tonnes of plastic packaging each year. Now Coke is sponsoring the world's largest climate conference (#COP27), in a desperate attempt to greenwash their legacy of ecocide.

Dr James Hansen: 2°C global warming is baked in. It will be necessary to take temporary corrective measures almost surely including temporary purposeful use of aerosols [solar geoengineering] to avoid catastrophic implications. Don't despair. 🧵

How will this be covered by mass media journalists given we face 1.5/2°C global warming horrors in just a decade from now?

Scientists have been systematically underestimating the rate and magnitude of extremes. Even if temperature rise is limited to 2 degrees, the extremes might be what would previously have been projected for 4 to 5 degrees.

BREAKING: scientists urge immediate systemic change away from fossil-driven economic growth which could destroy everything as they confirm climate risks and impacts have been systematically underestimated and might be approaching almost apocalyptic levels within 15 or 20 years 🧵

Some striking graphs from this year's World Inequality Report. First, the bottom 50% of humanity has a *smaller* share of total world income than they did in 1820 (about half). Their share declined during colonialism and remains at historic lows.

Great photo essay by ingmar björn nolting on the unnecessary eviction of the village of #Luetzerath to make way for an opencast lignite mine. The gap between the German Greens (part of the ruling coalition) & the climate movement has never been greater. theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…

If you'd like your news and analysis on ecological politics in one place, our newsletter is the place to go. We've been compiling resources on degrowth, global struggles, and climate politics for three years now, and don't intend to stop!

worth knowing: the Extinction Economy now threatens to wipe out 30% - 60% of plant, insect, mammal, bird, fish, amphibian, reptile, and crustacean species as scientists' screams for economic system changes away from GDP growth & the race for profit are ignored by mass media 🧵

End private jets. Just fucking end them. And declare climate emergency already. Stop fucking around with irreversible Earth breakdown. Let's end this heat nightmare and dismantle the fossil fuel industry that is causing it.

Mass extinction is beyond any doubt more severe than previously thought. Accelerating extinction rates are the fastest in Earth's history due to the habitat destruction, overkilling of species, & climate chaos tied to capitalism's economic growth & overconsumption by the rich. 🧵

Earth's ancient ecosystems are beginning to collapse. They have never suffered the rapid rates of destructive change being caused by the global industrial growth economy. 'the Amazon’s self-reinforcing rain cycle is getting terrifyingly close to breaking' nautil.us/the-oldest-eco…
