Has capitalism left it too late to avoid hellish 1.75/2.25°C of global warming and rising?
Yes.
Can we adapt?
No.
Has the scientific community issued major consensus reports indicating political-economic systems changes are mandatory?
Yes.
Will journalists reveal this?
No.
1. The UN/IPCC and mass media journalists continue to mislead the public with the notion that the current economic system - or any system - can avoid 1.5/2°C (when adaptation starts to become/becomes impossible).
Just one part of extinction catastrophe. 🧵
2. The two major scientific bodies, the IPCC and the IPBES, have issued major reports indicating current political-economic systems must be changed as they are causing biodiversity destruction, extinction, ecosystem collapse, and extreme climate change.

3. Even the consensus science (which is challenged by Dr James Hansen and many other great scientists because it doesn't reflect the reality of catastrophic and accelerating climate change properly) reveals it may be too late to avoid 1.75°C and 2°C. nature.com/articles/s4324…
4. The IPCC implies adaptation is still possible at 1.5- 1.9°C, however major ecosystems and biomes are being bulldozed and heated to collapse at 1/1.5°C.
Change this Extinction Economy now while it's still too late to protect species and everyone.

7. 'Nature-based solutions – such as coral reefs, mangroves and marshes, all of which can help adaptation efforts – will likely reach hard limits of their own as the planet warms beyond 1.5C, the report says.' carbonbrief.org/in-depth-qa-th…
8. Adaptation at 1.75/2.25°C?
Given the catastrophic consequences of 1.25/1.75°C, non-climate factors, and the fact we must anticipate far worse at today's 427 ppm of atmospheric CO2 and rising fast, survival for many/the majority species is in doubt.
