BREAKING: scientists hold back tears and shake their heads sadly as they explain utterly compromised COP29 climate conference was meant to be the last chance to organise rapid and deep emissions cuts for any chance of staying well below essentially unsurvivable 2°C 🧵
1. Time has run out to avoid 1.5°C (now sure to hit in the 2020s) and avoid the worst impacts of climate change. 1.75°C will be exceeded soon after with dire 2°C expected by 2030-2050

2. Abrupt climate change is just one compounding factor in extinction catastrophe.
Biodiversity destruction is a core part of the reality of industrial capitalism.
Change this Doom Economy now while it's still too late to protect species and everyone.🧵⬇️
3. Rapid habitat and species destruction linked directly to GDP growth and short-term profit maximisation has set up the fastest extinction in Earth's history. Global warming of 1.5°C van contribute to causing unsurvivable conditions.

@andrewp109 Oh dear you don't seem to enjoy getting involved in discussion..
@andrewp109 Otherwise try this:
'an irreversible threat to the persistence of civilization and the livability of future environments for H. sapiens'
'What happens in the next two decades will very likely define the future of biodiversity and H. sapiens.'

@andrewp109 @Swoon_Jon @saurus_steggy 2C is unsurvivable for so many:
