Imagine:
1. No bees in the flowers.
2. No birds in the trees.
3. No butterflies in the meadow.
4. No whales in the seas.
5. No worms in the soil.
6. No lizards in the sand.
7. No corals in the Ocean.
8. No crops from the land.
Can't?
Soon you may not have to.

Up to 50% of global bee species may be threatened with extinction:
'a variety of agricultural practices are contributing to steep declines in key pollinating species'
Population decline would be catastrophic enough. Extinction is a nightmare.

'agricultural systems are immediately vulnerable to *any* additional warming'
And we're heading for huge amounts of additional warming in the next 5, 10, 15 years. ⚠️
And we're heading for huge amounts of additional warming in the next 5, 10, 15 years. ⚠️
Food production is already suffering, and when warming becomes really extreme (1.5- 2.5°C by 2025- 2045 for example), repeated simultaneous crop failures (and extreme water shortages) will put huge pressure on societies.
