Wildfires in Bolivia have killed over 2 million animals including anteaters, bush pigs and jaguars, say environmental experts.

"The damage is irreversible."
Bolivia's wildfires have burned over 10 million acres of land, including swaths of primary forest. They are the worst fires the country has experienced in 20 years.

Many were set intentionally.
Volunteer firefighters in Bolivia say they are struggling to keep up after 2 months of putting out fires, some of which are reigniting. They say they don't have the equipment they need to stop fires spreading.

Most only have backpacks, hoses and machetes.

Critics are hailing #Hustlers as a feminist heist film for the post-recession era where strippers get revenge on the real wolves of Wall Street. But most sex workers didn't bounce back when the economy tanked.

@JenLouiseWilson with a #thread on the economics of sex work: (1/9)
Based on a true story first featured in the @nymag article "The Hustlers at Scores" (2015), #Hustlers follows a group of strippers who resort to extreme measures when business dries up after the 2008 financial crisis. (2/9)
vulture.com/2019/09/hustle…
#Hustlers, which stars @Jlo, @constancewu, @lizzo, @iamcardib and more, follows a group of strippers who, faced with the prospect of diminished wages after the recession, decide to incapacitate their male clientele so they can run up big charges on their credit cards. (3/9)

Earth is going to miss the Paris climate goal at our current greenhouse gas emission levels, says the UN.

Right now the planet is on track to warm by 2.9°-3.4°C by 2100 — almost 150% the Paris maximum limit.
Global greenhouse gas emissions reached record levels in 2017, says the UN. And preliminary findings say they were even higher in 2018.

~80% come from the G20, the world's richest countries.
2015-2019 is on track to be the warmest period ever recorded on Earth:

▪️ July 2019 was the hottest month ever recorded
▪️ Arctic sea ice was below average for all 4 years
▪️ Global sea levels are rising faster than before

21. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

The climate détente of the past decade (whereby action is to be energetically pursued, but only if it doesn’t jeopardize the recovery from the great recession, upend the neoliberal economic model, or damage any powerful incumbents) is fracturing. 
about.bnef.com/blog/liebreich…
The world of 2019 is not the world of 2009: 1) We know far more hard climate science; 2) In 2009 it was still plausible to claim there were no alternatives to fossil fuels; 3) A decade after the financial crisis, many are still struggling economically.
about.bnef.com/blog/liebreich…
The #ClimateStrike movement, sparked by the preternaturally determined 16-year-old Greta Thunberg, has now spread to 14 countries. Anyone who thinks it will fizzle out any time soon has forgotten what it is to be young.
