The entire scientific world: The Earth is getting dangerously hotter and threatens our very existence Dave936 on Twitter: I was 9 in 1976 and I remember it being hot. There’s nothing to worry about, have an ice cream

“Just 1% of voters named climate change as the most important issue facing the country, far behind worries about inflation and the economy. Even among voters under 30, the group thought to be most energized by the issue, that figure was 3%.” nytimes.com/2022/07/17/us/…

A reminder that the megaheatwave engulfing much of the world is happening during a La Nina "cool cycle." God help us when the next El Nino hits

“Guterres told ministers from 40 countries on Monday: ‘Half of humanity is in the danger zone, from floods, droughts, extreme storms and wildfires. No nation is immune. Yet we continue to feed our fossil fuel addiction.’” theguardian.com/environment/20…

Maybe stop ignoring climate scientists.

Good to finally see #ClimateEmergency trending. Let's rise up and and end fossil fuels because it's life or death. We must switch into #EmergencyMode as a society, end this ghoulish extractive capitalism, switch to a socioeconomic system that prioritizes flourishing for all

It's so, so good that climate urgency is finally going mainstream, though heartbreaking that it took this level of heat. Meanwhile world leaders are still idiotically prioritizing fossil fuel expansion and doing less than nothing to stop Earth breakdown. Keep pushing!

If you care about a livable Earth stop flying, stop eating meat, start doing climate civil disobedience

In #Heatwave2022 , many media are not even mentioning the undisputed role of #ClimateEmergency - when in reality their headlines should be that this heat wave is *nothing* compared to what is coming in just a few years if we fail to shut down the fossil fuel industry. 🔥☀️🔥

🔥 BREAKING 🔥 Happening now - Rebels have cracked windows at News UK & sprayed #TellTheTruth & "40 degrees = Death" to highlight the failure of the Murdoch press to cover the #heatwave & #ClimateCrisis extinctionrebellion.uk/2022/07/19/bre…

With astonishing speed, the established environmental and conservation groups have been eclipsed by grassroots movements like Extinction Rebellion Global, Fridays For Future, Green New Deal Rising and Just Stop Oil. Why? Because most failed to show the courage and leadership we need. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Huge news! The American Federation of Teachers, 1.7 million strong, wants TIAA to divest their pensions from fossil fuels. No teachers wants their life savings used to wreck the life chances of the kids they work so hard for!

THREAD 1. ‘What the hell just happened?’ - My partner (a 999 Fire Control supervisor) and I both used exactly the same phrase as we got home from work today. The true story of today will not become clear until incidents are debriefed, call and incident numbers are reconciled, and

Most people still have no idea how bad this will get in coming years. We've seen nothing yet. We desperately need to switch into climate #EmergencyMode as a society and end fossil fuels on a brisk and strict timeline

A clip from Don’t Look Up, and then a real TV interview that just happened

Goed stuk in #NRC vandaag. Wetenschappers roepen steeds luider; de VN: “collectieve actie of collectieve zelfmoord”. Veel Jongeren zijn zeer ongerust. Allen vragen meer en snellere actie. Zijn we wakker? Is dit kabinet echt wakker? ⏰ ⏰ ⏰

Fucking declare a climate emergency already
