This image from today's IPCC synthesis report is brutal. The existing policy trajectory represents a profound failure of our governments, and of our international political system. We need much more aggressive mitigation and much stronger international cooperation.

It's quite something that the world's top scientists put out a synthesis report that essentially says civilization as we know it will end unless the world comes together to stop rapidly expanding the fossil fuel industry but to instead rapidly end it, and almost no one cares

Peter Kalmus I care a lot but I’m not smart or powerful enough to feel my voice or actions would make an impact. I think a lot of people just feel helpless.

Peter Kalmus Good point! It's why people rallied in 102 cities today to demand action from our financial institutions! More please!

Industrial capitalism has -broken the water cycle, contaminated groundwater, left freshwater ecosystems on the brink -put the Greenland & Antarctic ice sheets in a rapid collapse zone, and doomed 60- 90% of Earth's glaciers to vanish in decades exposing billions to extreme risk

Evolution has unleashed a monster—and it is humanity. We are gobbling up everything…..cannibalizing ourselves in the process.

Here is the data updated to 2020. China has just overshot its fair share of the 350ppm boundary. The global North countries have overshot their collective fair-share six times over.

hypebeast.com/2023/6/coldpla… well done ColdPlay! Tom Power This would have been good to discuss in your Tony Neiburg interview. What did they do to mitigate their tour's environmental impact?

“Drug addicts are in denial of just how close they are to death. This fossil fuel-addicted civilisation is in denial of its ongoing collapse. And it will still be in denial until it reaches rock bottom” #ClimateCrisis
