The Arctic will soon be ice free, with catastrophic consequences for all life on Earth.

[THREAD]
The planet you think you're living on no longer exists:

'Few people understand that the Arctic sea ice “death spiral"...has profound global climatic effects, or feedbacks, that are already intensifying global warming...'

Our destabilised climate system:

We're already in a climate catastrophe. Soon everybody will feel the impact.

A billion people around the world are facing climate change related hazards such as cyclones, floods, bushfires, and rising sea levels.

This is a planetary emergency.

The 2020s will see human and animal life turned upside down.

Vicious climate feedbacks would appear to be unstoppable now.

It is time for #climatejustice, not a world dominated by the far/hard right or the extreme centre.

This is an Ecological Emergency.

Humans will struggle to survive as ecological collapse spirals out of control.

More than a million species are at risk of extinction.

⚠️ Some species that aren’t considered endangered may be less safe than you think.⚠️

What can we do apart from voting for those who see the need for a totally new economic system?

👇

If you'd like to investigate further:

1)
2)
And don't forget about Greenland:
And Antarctica.

If we stay under 1.5°C, largest ice shelves might not fail catastrophically!

We're about to zoom over 2°C, so no time for blind optimism from @BBC.

Remember:

27 million are climate refugees

70 million displaced

113 million face famine

1.45 billion lived a war 1989 - 2015

2 billion go hungry

3.3 billion lack clean/fresh water

4.2 billion are in poverty

Climate Chaos will soon make this worse, so change the system now.
As greenhouse gas emissions continue to accelerate away from us, most people haven't been given the chance to inform themselves about abrupt climate breakdown. Scientists acknowledge that everything is happening faster than expected.

👇We're in danger now:
Climate and ecological calamity is upon us right now. Billions are struggling as war combines with drought and poverty.

We need #ClimateJustice & radical solidarity for decent survival.

Remember:

1. We have to get rid of most cars.
2. We can't just keep mining.
3. We must produce food differently.
4. We have to change construction.
5. We must make clothes that last.
6. We can't travel by air in this way.
7. We must use less energy.
8. We must protect everybody.
We need to transform the global economy so that public transport and bicycles are virtually the only forms of travel (in a way that serves the elderly, the sick and the most vulnerable, of course).

This is a challenge, but it isn't impossible.

Mining? See @chilledasad100 👇

Remember:

1. The Arctic is burning.
2. Greenland is melting.
3. The Amazon is being destroyed.
4. Marine food chains risk collapse.
5. Soil is being rapidly depleted.
6. Food systems mean extinction.
7. Water scarcity is exploding.
8. Famine has returned.

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

We need climate justice now, but newspapers & TV run by the state and corporations stay quiet.

The reality👇
If you've heard of #FridaysForFuture and @GretaThunberg, you may know they focus on climate justice, equity, and 'recognising the responsibility of wealthy countries to lead rapid climate action' + advocating for system change: actionaid.org/land-and-clima…

We're in the danger zone👇

In 1917, Flynn received an inspirational letter from Lieutenant Clifford Peel, a Victorian medical student with an interest in aviation.
The young airman and war hero suggested the use of aviation to bring medical help to the Outback. Shot down in France, he died at just 24 years of age and never knew that his letter became a blueprint for the creation of the Flying Doctor Service.

Honestly bafethu.....Igwababa😥, but OK that was my excuse when they tease me of how I did not have a girl

A #thread about what has and has not worked for me since launching my first startup in Feb 2002 with my brother, striking some big deals, raising capital, losing money and rebuilding.

I hope you find it thought-provoking
We built some hype around @realvibez with our branded car, sponsoring events like Stages, ATI, Blink and Reggae Sumfest but we also knew that we had to be authentic - the website actually had to have the content on it
We did not want sugar-coated B.S. interviews so we focused on cold, hard truths when I asked questions.

Hence why I asked Collie Buddz about racism in this interview -

Gli esperti lo ripetono ormai da diversi anni. Con un’alimentazione sana si prevengono fattori di rischio importanti come il sovrappeso e l’obesità. Una dieta povera dal punto di vista nutrizionale, invece, può facilitare lo sviluppo di diverse neoplasie.

Wow, people really liked my reading guide template for students. So, here are some slides from lecture about getting through the reading. #Thread
(1) You have a lot going on in your life and school might not be your #1 priority. But you still need to do the reading, but you don't have to read every word of it. Here are some ways you can skim, arranged from least time to more time.
(2) Students frequently take too many notes--you read that right! When you are just starting out, it seems like EVERYTHING is important. It's not. Here are some things I like to focus on: jargon, context, and especially stories.

#Thread If I were Obama.
If I was Obama on January 5, 2017 sitting in the WH meeting with my AG, FBI, DOJ, Perkins Coie Counsel, WH counsel, ODNI, CIA etc.. with a portfolio of data we manufactured, collated, paid for and collected and an EO I had just singed in Dec of 2016 (1)
An Executive Order that makes it the law of the land "Taking Additional Steps to Address the National Emergency With Respect to Significant Malicious Cyber-Enabled Activities" calling our #russia and all the entities we referenced in our "Portfolio" (2)

A portfolio we had in our hands that was lack luster, circular and completely manufactured... If I was Obama I would gear up and call upon all those "of our unique and comprehensive system of alliances and partnerships" to join me. To join me (3)
