Climate breakdown is accelerating far beyond the worst fears of climate scientists, and the ecological catastrophe of Mass Extinction is upon us.

The magnitude of the Arctic fires 'has never been seen in the 16-year satellite record, and because they are burning carbon stores, they are inevitably feeding a vicious warming cycle.' 🔥

This is the beginning of a Greenland meltdown:
'With 3 quadrillion tons of ice sitting atop Greenland — that’s 3,000,000,000,000,000 tons — there is a lot more to melt, chip, and shatter into the oceans'🔥

It looks increasingly unlikely that the Amazon will survive global warming.

2°C is catastrophic, but it will be difficult to avoid 2.5°C now.

The @guardian wants to keep today's economic and political systems. It has valuable information on ecological destruction, but keeps supporting (and is part of) the corporate systems doing the killing.

10s of millions suffering from famine due to the horrific combination of climate breakdown and war.
