Did you know?

1. Global crop failures hit at 1.5- 2°C.
2. Billions die at 3°C.
3. Most humans dead at 4°C.
4. Earth uninhabitable at 6°C.
5. We're heading for 1.5°C by 2025.
6. We're heading for 2°C by 2035.
7. We're heading for 4- 6°C by 2075.

Why isn't this front page news?
People in the Global South are dying now.

We need a new economy for climate justice & survival.

2°C by 2035 (with a dire global food & water crisis) looks likely.

Feedbacks (Arctic sea ice etc) have begun.

Can we avoid 3.5°C?

See thread for details:👇
Could we prevent the deaths of billions if we manage to slow warming by slashing emissions to zero within a decade (plus other action)? Yes, perhaps.

3°C looks inevitable, but if we can push it away until the 22nd century countless lives would be saved.
Thread on the accelerating pace of abrupt climate change:

A range of new climate models show things are even worse than thought (when we already thought things were leading us to vast human misery).

We're heading unstoppably into runaway climate change territory (hothouse earth conditions) within 15 to 20 years.
The rate of climate change is a threat to most/all species:

I think we'll hit 1.5°C by 2024-2029, followed by 2°C by 2030-2039. I'm confident many climate scientists would not disagree with this projection.

What will this mean?
👇
'this study attempts to evaluate the extreme outcomes consistent with data and published model parameters, we also examine the LPHI (5% probability) values. The LPHI warming under the two baseline scenarios can exceed 3.5–4°C by 2050 and 6.5–8°C by 2100' ⚠️pnas.org/content/114/39…
We will not survive if we don't begin to embrace the principles of Climate Justice and totally transform the global economy.
