Planet Earth became Planet Fire.

By 2025-2035, global warming will hit catastrophic levels even if emissions are reduced according to scientists.

Emissions must stop in the 2020s to avoid total catastrophe.

The oceans, rivers & forests must be allowed to recover if humans are to survive.
What can we do about this Ecological-Climate calamity?

Discover what Climate Justice is all about, then join collective action to create a new politics & new economics. 💚🕊️

Trillions of insects, mammals, birds & amphibians will be wiped out by habitat destruction, pesticides, & abrupt climate change by 2035.

Simultaneous crop failures become highly likely from now on.

Discover more here, and spread the word for real action.
In reality, we can already state that global warming and ecological collapse are 'catastrophic', but much, much worse is to come. 💔

A billion people are now hit by extreme weather each year. See thread for details, plus impacts by 2026. ⚠️

Governments and corporations are committing crimes against humanity and nature by knowingly preparing the production of enough fossil fuels in the next decade to cause the destruction of most species.

nationalobserver.com/2019/11/20/new…
At 3.2°C most species would not survive.

Only decarbonisation in the 2020s could give us a small chance of avoiding this in the coming decades.

vice.com/en_in/article/…
47% of insect species, 26% of vertebrate and 16% of plant species will lose 'at least half of their geographic ranges' at 3.2°C.

Catastrophic global warming of between 3°C to 4°C is now probably locked in according to experts.

#ClimateEmergency

phys.org/news/2019-04-d…
A range (incomplete so far) of the most recent IPCC models shows 2°C by 2040, followed by 3°C- 4°C around 2060- 2080.

If this is correct, humans face a staggering, almost unthinkable catastrophe within decades.

See thread: 👇
See here for scientists' opinions regarding 3°C - 4°C of calamitous warming.
👇


Remember, between 2°C - 3°C likely means the death of tropical corals and the Amazon Rainforest, as well as other major ecosystems. ⚠️

Mangrove forests are being destroyed so quickly the whole biome is set to vanish within just a few decades.

More than 2% of mangrove forests are destroyed each year.

Nearly 50% have already been wiped out.

Extinction looms for amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds.
The mangrove biome spans over 137,760 km2 of coastal areas in 118 countries.

The largest mangrove ecosystem in the world, The Sundarbans, is under threat from human exploitation and sea level rise. ⚠️

nature.com/articles/srep2…
The worst mass dieback of mangroves ever recorded: 2015, the Gulf of Carpentaria (cause: extreme heat/temporary drop in sea level/drought).

Then, in 2018: devastating impacts of 2 cyclones created a 400km stretch of dead & damaged mangroves.

Al Gore’s Climate Change Disaster Nothing But Hot Air newswithviews.com/al-gores-clima…
And why the sudden panic of this planetary emergency? This would pave the way for a world tax to be implemented, making Gore, The United Nations, and a gaggle of politicians, unspeakably wealthy. Indeed one would not be able to even count the money it would be so great.
Consider the money involved in a world tax, meaning that every living being on the earth would pay a tax to, they tell us, enable the world to find ways to de-heat the earth so we will not all suddenly burn alive.

1️⃣3️⃣ 🤔GLOBAL
WARMING HUH ⛄️❓
✳️ When summer starts and it’s still snowing in the Rockies, it seems a good time to consider the possibility of a Grand Solar Minimum.
✳️ Want to understand earth’s climate❓ Start by understanding the sun🌞

1️⃣4️⃣ AL GORE FULL OF HORSE HOCKEY‼️
✳️ Track solar activity like sunspots.
✳️ Watch solar energy reaching earth’s upper atmosphere.
✳️ Study polar ice accumulation.
✳️ Ignore BS from Al Gore and all the global warming knuckleheads.

1️⃣5️⃣ 🤔 SUN TAKING
A SABBATICAL❓
✳️ Sorry Globalist hoaxsters who want our tax 💰💰 in the name of carbon programs.
✳️ Global warming isn’t happening if sun ( Earth’s thermostat) is taking a sabbatical.
✳️ Significant global cooling far more of an issue.

I’ve already answered this, but you seem not to have noticed. So I say again, on just taxation see Mises, Human Action, 3rd ed., pp. 280ff. (Rand holds out voluntary taxation only as the final reform. Think of voluntary taxation as "capitalism in its higher phase.")
Re: breaking with history. The very existence of the United States is a radical break with all of previous human history. Here, for the very first time there was a country based on the recognition of individual rights and that the function of government is to secure those rights.
Prior to 1776, slavery or serfdom was the norm practically everywhere, and had been since caveman days. It's true that slavery still existed even in the US. But it was the founding principles of the US that finally put an end to slavery, as Pres. Lincoln stressed.

To save human civilization, we need to panic and act NOW!

(A thread with simple explanations on why climate change is happening and its impact on our survival as a species)

#EarthDay
1/ Important concepts to understand (that I'll expand in the thread):

- Where does CO2 in atmosphere come from
- Why CO2 in atmosphere makes the climate warmer
- Under which conditions did humans evolve in last 100k years
- What future conditions does warmer climate create
2/

- What feedback loops accelerate warming
- How do scientists predict future warming
- How to interpret the probabilities of catastrophic events
- What's needed to prevent a collapse

It's going to be a LOOONG thread.

Fasten your seat belts, hold your seats. Let's go!

Scientists: if someone tells you that a process flies in the face of science, maybe don’t adhere to it and have a sense of urgency about finding a solution? Just a thought. You can’t complain about global warming denialists and behave just like them.
Today in, “I tried fighting scientists with science and science and I lost”
Scientists: “astrology is bullshit and people shouldn’t use it just because they like it”

Also scientists: “we have to use this bullshit methodology because we don’t like the alternatives”

1. Should you trust what Climate 'Scientists' and the Media say about Climate Change?
2. Do we REALLY have 12-years left to avert global climate catastrophe?
3. Should we be instilling fear into our children that the planet is doomed?
