will all start to become uninhabitable by 2035.
The Middle East and North Africa are set to become 'so hot that human habitability is compromised' at 1.5°C - 1.9°C of global warming (between 2024 and 2037).

As well as hot weather extremes, desert dust storms could also make some regions uninhabitable.

'At 2C, parts of southwest Asia, including well-populated regions of the Persian Gulf and Yemen, may become literally uninhabitable'

We're set to hit 2C by 2029 - 2041, with 2035 looking increasingly likely.

Unsurvivable heat waves will soon be here.
Island nations will likely face impossible conditions within a decade or so.

See this thread:
Most of southern Vietnam is set to be underwater by the 2030s with many major coastal cities further north also set to be hit.

Bangladesh and Iraq will suffer immensely from sea level rise much sooner than previously expected.

Thread with details on unsurvivable heat hitting Bangladesh, Pakistan, India and China, as well as the concept of climate departure - cities/countries reach an entirely new hotter climate where even the coolest years are hotter than anything seen before:
We're heading for a catastrophic average global temperature rise of 2C between 2029 and 2041.

Latest IPCC climate models suggest ~2040.
M. Mann has shown 2036 to be possible.
Pliocene like conditions by 2030-2040 (1.8C - 3.6C).

1. Insects: 75-98% decline
2. Mammals: 83% wiped out
3. Forests: 80% gone
4. Ocean life: 80% obliterated
5. Seabirds: 70% gone
6. Wildlife: 67% annihilated
7. Plants: 50% destroyed
8. Worms: 83% loss
9. Pollinators 40% near extinction
10. Humans: 55% undernourished
4.2 billion people have less than the $7.40 per day needed for:

- basic nutrition
- normal life expectancy
- a half-decent chance of seeing their kids survive their 5th birthday

That's 55% of us.

And now we face the climate chaos of global crop failures.theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Humans and animals face an overwhelming ecological collapse.

The intergovernmental panel on biodiversity, IPBES, says only a transformation of economic & social systems will save humanity and limit the damage to ecosystems & species.

Remember:

1. Most birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish & insects face extinction within decades.

2. Science shows human activity is causing extinctions.

3. Human activity is political.

4. The dominant political economy is capitalism.

5. Most media ignore this reality.
By the 2030s, Earth will have warmed ~2°C in just 250 years.

There is no record of ecosystems or species in the geologic past surviving this rate of climate change.

Pollution and habitat destruction by corporations are also causing this mass extinction.
news.stanford.edu/news/2013/augu…
Most plants also face extinction.

See this thread on how most life will fail to evolve/adapt as we hit ~2C by 2029-2039 followed by 2.5- 3C by 2045-2085.

Dear Science Journalists,

Please mention that:

1. Many scientists suggest highly dangerous 2- 4C is now unavoidable

2. Even immediate cutting of emissions could well leave us at ~2C by 2029-2039 (IPCC models, peer-reviewed research)

3. IPBES calls for economic transformation

A group of human rights organizations have filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC), accusing BAE Systems and other arms manufacturers based in Europe of being party to alleged war crimes in the conflict inYemen, the Guardian reported.
english.almasirah.net/details.php?es…
Over 100,000 people are estimated to have been killed since war in #Yemen broke out in 2015, including 12,000 civilians in directly targeted attacks by the Saudi-led coalition since 2015 with a pattern of airstrikes that has brought repeated humanitarian criticism.
The 26 strikes specifically cited, where 135 people were killed and 181 injured, include what are described as indiscriminate attacks on hospitals and schools by bombers from Saudi Arabia or its ally the United Arab Emirates, and where remnants of bombs made by

1/ This is big news. Twitter have finally suspended the Twitter account of Saud al Qahtani @saudq1978 , and 267 accounts originating in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Egypt primarily targeting Qatar. They also suspended six Saudi Accounts linked to Saudi-state run media
@saudq1978 2/ I say finally because Saud Al Qahtani has long been accused of manipulating Twitter, and putting people's lives in danger using Twitter. I wrote a little about how he did that here > ijoc.org/index.php/ijoc… and here marcowenjones.wordpress.com/2017/08/23/sau…
3/ The 267 accounts may be bigger players, but bear in mind thousands of accounts are routinely suspended for disseminating propaganda without any public announcement. #Qatar #Saudi #Bahrain blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/c…
