Remember:
1. Climate chaos will harm billions
2. A 6th mass extinction has begun
3. The Arctic is in a death spiral
4. Key regions uninhabitable in 2029
5. Economic growth no longer viable
6. Free market capitalism must end
It's never front page news, so people just don't know.

Time to change.

ECONOMIC GROWTH EMERGENCY:
⚠️ We cannot keep the current growth economy if we want to survive according to the recent IPBES report and the 23,000 scientists who put their names to the ideas in this paper (academic.oup.com/bioscience/art…) amongst many others...

Uninhabitable:
As we go over 1.5C warming and head to 2C, 'parts of southwest Asia, including well-populated regions of the Persian Gulf and Yemen, may become literally uninhabitable without permanent air conditioning.'
We're heading for 1.5C by 2026.

The scientific case for degrowth is robust:
'Degrowth is a planned reduction of total energy and material use to bring the economy in line with planetary boundaries, while improving people’s lives by distributing income and resources more fairly.'
