will all start to become uninhabitable by 2030.
The only way to react positively to the terrifying cataclysm of climate breakdown and ecological collapse is by joining in solidarity to achieve #ClimateJustice.

Vote and strike for decarbonisation by 2030.

14 threads explaining all you need to know:👇
Emissions must be virtually completely stopped by 2029 otherwise we may well head for a desert planet and billions dead by 2045 - 2075. That's my opinion based on the science. Huge risk. Our governments are busy killing us.

Thread explaining the map:👇
Levels of heat and humidity that exceed what humans can survive will hit regions of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh within 'a few decades'. ⚠️

Some regions will become uninhabitable, but we may yet limit the damage by stopping greenhouse gas emissions now.news.mit.edu/2017/deadly-he…
At 1.5°C - 2°C of global warming (set to happen between 2023 and 2036), The Middle East and North Africa will become 'so hot that human habitability is compromised'.

'limiting global warming to less than 2°C will not be sufficient to prevent this scenario'mpg.de/10481936/clima…
Cities in the Tropics are set to become close to uninhabitable over the next decade just from heat.

Kingston, Jamaica will begin to experience 'dramatic, life altering temperatures' by 2023; La Paz, Bolivia by 2028; and Lagos, Nigeria by 2029.

Thread:👇

'At 2C, parts of southwest Asia, including well-populated regions of the Persian Gulf and Yemen, may become literally uninhabitable..'

👇

And...

'researchers predict a massive decline in the viability of food crops critical for human survival' ⚠️
Unsurvivable heat threshold "may be breached sooner than projected" (by 2025-2035, for example, not 2070).

'The limit of survivability, at 35C WBT, was almost reached in Bandar Mahshahr in Iran in July 2015' ⚠️ theguardian.com/environment/20…
Sea level rise will make currently inhabited regions increasingly difficult and perhaps impossible to live in with or without unbearable heat levels.

Sea level rise/flooding thread: 👇
Earth is undergoing one of the largest climate changes in the past 65 million years, set to occur at a rate 10 times faster than any change in that period.

Without massive action, this extreme pace could lead to an unsurvivable 5-6°C temperature spike.
👇
We were heading for 2°C by 2036 back in early 2014.

Five and a half years later, and things are now even worse: emissions are *accelerating* and there's no sign of them decreasing anytime soon.

1.5°C by 2029 looks likely. Will 2°C follow within years?

Antarctica:

1. fastest melt rate ever recorded
2. Thwaites & Pine: 'Doom' Glaciers
3. warmer winds to cause huge melt
4. marine ecosystems threatened
5. fears over Ross Ice Shelf changes
6. sea level rise calamity: 2035
7. melt accelerating
8. irreversible collapse is inevitable
Antarctica: 'ice vanishing at its fastest rate in recorded history.'

West Antarctic ice sheet collapse would mean 3.5m sea level rise.

(Greenland melt also at extraordinary levels, a calamity in terms of near-term sea level rise)

irishtimes.com/news/environme…
Melting rose dramatically from 1979 to 2001: an average of 48 gigatons annually per decade.

⚠️ The rate jumped 280% to 134 gigatons for 2001 to 2017.

Unstoppable ice collapse will trigger flooding of coastal cities and combine with megadrought crop failures to create 100s of millions of climate refugees by 2035.

Nightmare global warming of 2°C by ~2035 means

-droughts that are more than twice as severe

-desertification hitting most of the world's soil

-a huge increase in crop-destroying pests

-and a massive overall decline in the viability of food crops critical for human survival...
At 2°C (set to hit by 2029 - 2045):

'researchers predict a massive decline in the viability of food crops critical for human survival.'

e360.yale.edu/features/what_…
In fact, by 2025, as we approach or go beyond 1.5°C, around 70% of the planet's soil could already be affected by desertification.

Thread: #India Is Changing The Game For #China And #Pakistan In Kashmir - "China should appease rather than confront India" www-forbes-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.forbes…
The US-China trade war has provided Indian Prime Minister Modi with an opportunity he couldn’t refuse: to change the game in Kashmir for China and Pakistan. Back in August New Delhi terminated Article 370 of the Constitution, asserting its power in the disputed Kashmir region.
This week, India called on China and Pakistan to suspend activities related to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

#China wants to seek a "calm" end to its ongoing trade war with the U.S., as #AsianMarketsCrumbled and #ChinaCurrencyPlummeted to an 11-year low following the latest #tariffs on #550billion in Chinese goods announced last Friday by #TrumpAdministration
foxnews.com/politics/china…
News of the possible opening in negotiations came shortly after @realDonaldTrump threatened to declare a national emergency that would result in American businesses freezing their relationships with China, by imposing its own retaliatory tariffs on $75 billion in U.S. goods.
@realDonaldTrump In response, Chinese Vice Premier Liu He told a state-controlled newspaper on Monday that "China is willing to resolve its trade dispute with the United States through calm negotiations and resolutely opposes the escalation of the conflict"

Thread: #Australia ramps up pressure on #China with backing of #US and #Japan - The Morrison government has joined with the United States and Japan to issue a pointed condemnation of China's increasingly aggressive behavior in waters to Australia's north smh.com.au/politics/feder…
The ministers expressed "serious concern" over "credible reports of disruptive activities in relation to long-standing oil and gas projects" in the South China Sea - a coded reference to Chinese vessels harassing Vietnamese ships trying to access key oil rigs.
Australia and the US have also expressed alarm at reports of a deal between Beijing and Cambodia to to station Chinese troops, store weapons and berth warships at the Ream Naval Base on the Gulf of Thailand.

Reports suggested that the vehicle used by the terrorists was a Mahindra Scorpio carrying more than 350 kg of explosives in what is the worst attack ever on security personnel in the state.
Sources said that terrorists triggered the car bomb while 78 vehicles with over 2,500 reserve police men were on the Srinagar-Jammu highway. The stretch on which the incident occurred had been sanitized in the morning & authorities called it a serious breach of security.

#China plans to sell #Pakistan an aircraft carrier and integrate it militarily - I believe a carrier for Pak is far fetched, but the article is very revealing about CN plans for Pak, something that usually gets dismissed @desertfox61I @avarakai sundayguardianlive.com/news/china-pla…
Beijing is increasingly integrating Pakistan into its military system to fulfill its global ambitions. Meanwhile, India refuses to sell Brahmos to Vietnam for fear of upsetting China. China is not reciprocating India's actions. #Huawei is allowed to bid for the 5G network.
Conscious Western efforts to retard its growth & access to hi-tech supply chains, Beijing has adopted an overtly benign tone with its neighbors. These are, however, cosmetic tactical measures & China’s ambition of developing “a kind of military force system” has not changed.

#Iran sponsors terrorism and is continuing aggression in Middle East and around the world, says @POTUS.
“This radical regime has raided the wealth of one of the world’s oldest and most vibrant nations.”
“The Iranian dictatorship’s aggression continues to this very day."
