All the #coral globally is literally under threat of extinction. The situation for the forests of the oceans has never been more precarious. The #ocean without coral is a dead ocean.

Some climate scientists' blind optimism is precarious as it lacks a foundation in reality. Studying the data, it's clear that being overoptimistic about the future of this civilization is self-deception. We must confront realities & take proactive measures to address the risks.

'There's lots of stress on food systems globally. Certain tipping points will require the use of solar modification techniques. It's only a matter of time before the world realizes the need for action to prevent a global food crisis caused by accelerated warming' #MEERTALK

#Pantabangan is just another vital freshwater #reservoir that is disappearing. From January to April, the #Philippines experienced severe #drought due to high temperatures and little rainfall. You can't run a society without water. What happens when it runs out?

The #Earth is losing its reflective powers and vital sources of freshwater in densely populated regions. #Venezuela 's six glaciers in the Sierra Nevada de Mérida have disappeared, with La Corona being the latest to go.

I want to know what the “scientists” who answered this survey saying temperatures would be below 1.5C by 2100 are smoking. 1.5C is already dead. Without urgent mitigation a devastating 2.5C is already locked in.

“Saudi forces 'told to kill’ to clear land for eco-city” - it appears native people who refuse to leave their homes will die for this bright green lie. bbc.co.uk/news/world-mid…

It was the hottest April ever recorded, 1.58°C warmer than the estimate of the April average for 1850-1900. 1.5C is long dead. It's time to get very serious about climate mitigation, or this civilization is heading over a very steep cliff.

Over the past year, the world's #oceans have broken temperature records every single day. Many in the #global south, especially in #Asia , are experiencing how that is going to affect the rest of their lives. The optimism bias in the global north won't last long.

Big #tornado watch for portions of southwest Lower #Michigan , central and northern #Illinois , central and northern #Indiana , and southeast #Wisconsin . There are a couple of super cells churning out very dangerous conditions. The energy in the system is getting crazy.

This is a great demonstration of reflectivity or the albedo effect. It is crucial to save our 'Earthshine' to keep the Earth's energy in balance and enhance the reflectivity of cities to reduce the Heat Island effect. #MEER

Imagine sleeping on the floor because it brought relief - and even that doesn’t work now. People can’t even enter their homes in some areas of #India . “Residents used to sleep on the floor as it was colder - now this no longer brings any relief.” “ Our house is like an oven”.

Even trees are struggling to breathe at this point. Don't count on them to save us from the Anthropocene - ''We found that trees in warmer, drier climates are essentially coughing instead of breathing,' said Max Lloyd, assistant professor of geosciences at Penn State.'

The boiling continues in #India . Millions have no access to air conditioning, and water supplies in many regions are being stretched. A global 2C increase will make many parts of this region #uninhabitable during the #summer months. #Adaptation and #mitigation are urgent.

The world economy is in safe hands Dr. Steve Keen - I have full confidence in these people to steer the global economy through any shocks coming down the track 😬
