When people say "there's no way we can go that fast" it is because they have NOT made the shift into emergency mode yet. They are still prioritizing this business-as-usual status quo over a habitable Earth. That is the path to civilizational collapse.

Putting aside the issue of transmission, she's comparing 1,000,000 deaths from EVERY SIGNLE TYPE OF CANCER (there are more than 100 of them!) to 780,000 from only THREE variants of SARS-CoV-2.

I was doing my usual shitposting routine and then I met NUMBERS 😂

We estimate that since 1990, 16 million people around the world have died needlessly from malnutrition due to neoliberal policy. These deaths could have been prevented with simple systems to ensure universal access to nutritious food. newint.org/features/2022/…

As billionaires meet atop their mountain in Davos, 800 million people across the globe are going to bed hungry. It’s time for a new economic model that redistributes wealth, ownership and power from those who wield it to those who need it.

BREAKING:  more and more scientists accept there's evidence of accelerated global warming towards mass death at >2°C within a decade or two due to declining aerosols 🧵

Scientists warn ongoing pollution, biodiversity destruction, and global warming will wipe out 32-52% of Earth's species by 2050-99. There is no evidence humans can survive.
