'The Arctic is heading toward irreversible melting and ecosystem destruction, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.'

🔺the Arctic has lost nearly 95% of its oldest ice
grist.org/article/4-ways…
The Arctic has entered an unprecedented state that 'threatens global climate stability':

commondreams.org/news/2019/04/0…
"There is no evidence of any recovery of the sea ice,' said Mark Serreze, director of the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center. "We are heading toward a seasonally ice-free Arctic ocean."

Global crop failure from the 2020s onwards:

1.
'Yield responses to biophysical stresses are highly non-linear – once critical thresholds for temperature or water are breached, plants suffer severe damage and yields can fall precipitously.'

reports.weforum.org/global-risks-2…
2.
'If climate change is allowed to reach a point where these biophysical thresholds are exceeded routinely, crop failure will become the norm'

3.
The answer: dismantle industrial agriculture and transform this WEF extinction economy into something fair & safe. #agroecology
4.
1.5°C by 2030 means long-term food security can no longer be guaranteed:

'Without ambitious, determined action to reduce emissions and contain climate change at manageable levels, long-term food security cannot be guaranteed'

We've seen zero action since this 2016 report.⚠️

The planet we think we're living on no longer exists:

🔺Earth will warm 2°C to 6°C within decades

🔺It took 5,000 years to warm 5°C when global warming happened at various times in the past 2 million years

🔺predicted warming rate: 20 times faster.earthobservatory.nasa.gov/features/Globa…
Welcome to Earth. 🔥

"It's very possible that both ecological systems and human systems may fail to adapt rapidly enough, with devastating consequences"

"this is a problem for now...in the next decade or two, we may see climates like that of the Pliocene"edition.cnn.com/2018/12/10/wor…
How many species will survive as we rocket towards 3°C - 4°C?

'Between 1°C and 2°C...most species, ecosystems and landscapes will be impacted and adaptive capacity will become limited.'

The decline in biodiversity will accelerate.
