Things that will be gone by 2029:
1. Arctic Ice.
2. The Great Barrier Reef.
3. The Amazon Rainforest.
4. 85% of Earth's wildlife.
5. Adequate water supply.
6. Reliable food production.
7. A safe climate.
8. Human existence as we know it.
This is the real news.
Isn't it?

Isn't it?
When the Arctic Ocean becomes ice free in the summer, global temperatures will shoot up (perhaps by 0.6°C), leading to unthinkable, global climate chaos. This looks set to happen between 2021 and 2031.
Irreversible feedbacks have already been triggered.

Climate breakdown is already severe enough to kill the Great Barrier Reef. Since 2016, coral bleaching events have killed off half of the Reef, and in the next 10 years global warming will spiral out of control.
Survival would appear to be impossible now.

The Amazon as we know it will be gone in ~10 years.
What can we do?
People who are taking action for #ClimateJustice know what to do.
So, my advice is find out about the severity of the catastrophe and learn about climate justice.

Wildlife across the globe is vanishing at a rate of 2% a year.
🔺more than 67% of the world's wildlife gone by 2020 (scientific report from the World Wildlife Fund).
This is the sixth mass extinction:

Water Emergency:
By 2025, half of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed areas.
Already today 50% of people suffer severe water scarcity.
600 million people in India alone will have no access to drinking water by 2029.

From 2012:
"we saw that the threat to food security was so imminent; the increased risk of severe droughts is only 10 years away for China and India. These are the world's largest populations and food producers...this poses a real threat to food security".

Maybe 0.5°C above the pre-industrial temperature could have preserved a safe climate:
'The notion that 1.5°C is a safe target is out the window, and even 1°C looks like an unacceptably high risk.'
We'll be at 1.5- 2°C by 2029.

'Climate Departure' has a very specific meaning:
🔥 "It's the moment when average temperatures, either in a specific location or worldwide, become so impacted by climate change that the old climate is left behind. It's a sort of tipping point..."
