Just like in Don’t Look Up, the powers that be; much of mainstream media, and too many Americans, are still ignoring the existential threat. As great a guest as you are on the news networks, we can’t win on commentary alone. Much more is needed now to educate & engage the public!

There’ve been too many moments like this in the past few years and as someone who would proudly put herself in that unpopular—but visionary—category, I wish we HAD been exaggerating the threat. Even #climate scientists are shocked at how rapidly this dystopian nightmare is here!

COLLAPSING: 86-96% of scientists now think rapid extinction during capitalism with dire global warming of 2°C and rising by around 2037-2048 is essentially unavoidable given increasing deforestation and record levels of fossil emissions both driven by deadly economic growth

2a. 'Almost 80% of the respondents, all from the authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), foresee at least 2.5C of global heating, while almost half anticipate at least 3C (5.4F). Only 6% thought the internationally agreed 1.5C (2.7F) limit would be met.'

2b. “I think we are headed for major societal disruption within the next five years,” said Gretta Pecl, at the University of Tasmania. “[Authorities] will be overwhelmed by extreme event after extreme event, food production will be disrupted” (It's 86-95%)dumptheguardian.com/environment/ar…

I’m here to tell you that even though some have forgotten … I remember. I remember what it was like when Trump was president. I remember what he did and said, about Puerto Rico… About our people ... I remember after Hurricane Maria devastated our island… Trump blocked

What happened in Valencia is not going to wake us up, is it. Scientists say it was powered by climate change. Radio presenters and commentators are ignoring that and lying to themselves that it's just a random event. Like the recent flooding in France, the insane flooding in

Another longtime Republican sees the (blue) light…

And #trump wants to make these #climate tragedies worse🤬🌏🔥And you too #ElonMusk, what the hell happened to you?!? You were our hope!! to #Spainfloods : number killed passes 150 as scientists say climate change ‘most likely explanation’ – as it happened theguardian.com/world/live/202…

No one is coming to save us.

BREAKING: the world's oceans will start to become too acidic to properly sustain marine life or help stabilise the climate within years potentially triggering a domino effect that could eventually lead to the death of most, if not all, life in the world's oceans 🧵

I'd just like to say, that I do understand, and appreciate, why mainstream politicians, classical economists, the profited minded etc, have so much difficulty with the climate and ecological crisis. 1/

it boggles my mind that almost the entire global political class just decided they would not accept scientific fact, as if through will alone they could suppress the laws of nature. It’s the very definition of fuck around and find out.

"We find microplastic in the gut of bees and see how wild bees use plastic to build nests. We therefore urgently need to investigate what interaction this has with other stressors, such as climate change, for the bees and their pollination services." thecooldown.com/outdoors/micro…

“When we don’t have a connection to our ancestors… it leaves us quite empty.” From that emptiness, author and activist Osprey Orielle Lake says, comes over-consumerism, trauma, violence, and disconnection. Watch the full CODE GREEN interview: youtu.be/wAZjbifW7go
