We only have 8 years left before:
deglaciation of W. Antarctica begins
80% of coral reefs die
Arctic sea ice disappears
world crops fail simultaneously
40% of N. American birds go extinct
rainforest collapse is locked in
The planet you think you're living on no longer exists.

So here comes a thread of threads to back up these seemingly ridiculous assertions.
The key factor is that global warming, at 1.3C global average today, will hit 1.5C around 2025-2030.
That will trigger big changes according to the best available science.

80% of tropical coral reefs will die at 1.5°C.
At 2°C (2035?), 99% will be dead. This appears to be widely accepted by scientists around the world.

The Arctic looks set to be free of summer sea ice between 2022 - 2032.
My guess would be around 2026 - 2028.
Some scientists cling to the idea that the ice, which is now thin and fragile, will remain well into the 2030s and beyond, others predict 2022-2023.

We've seen widespread, unusual crop failures in the past 2 years.
More intense, longer lasting heatwaves due to climate breakdown will combine with floods to disrupt food production.
If Arctic ice goes the jet stream will trigger extreme weather.

It's possible we've already hit a critical rainforest fragmentation tipping point.
Governments & corporations have no intention of stopping the destruction.
More intense wildfires, droughts and floods are inevitable as we pass 1.5°C and head for 2°C - 5°C.

Birds will struggle to survive climate breakdown.
54% of bird species will face extinction at 2°C (2033- 2042).
