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. ⚠️

Remember:

1. Oxygen levels are low.
2. Rainforests won't survive.
3. Arctic Ice is almost gone.
4. Corals are doomed.
5. Factory meat & dairy are deadly.
6. Overfishing is killing the Ocean.
7. Crop failure has begun.
8. Heat will kill billions.

None of this is front page news.
'The decline in ocean oxygen ranks among the most serious effects of human activities on the Earth's environment'

We must stop corporations emitting greenhouse gases & polluting.

Oh look, we can't. They're protected by 'our' governments & corporate media.independent.co.uk/environment/oc…
Models predict that 2.5°C of global warming would kill the Amazon Rainforest.

We'll hit ~2.5℃ within decades, maybe as soon as the 2040s.

Tropical forests are so fragmented now that it may even be too late to stop any of them from collapsing at 1.5°C.theconversation.com/what-climate-t…

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?
