Remember:

1. Antarctica is melting now
2. The Amazon tipping point is here
3. Corals are being killed now
4. Arctic feedback chaos is here
5. Insect extinction is now
6. Pollinator annihilation is here
7. Fertile soil is vanishing now

with staggering consequences for humanity.
The collapse of Antarctic ice is now irrefuckingversible.

See thread:

The collapse of the Amazon Rainforest is looking pretty irrefuckingversible as well.

Will it be on the path to total destruction by the end of the decade?

Could be...

The death of all corals?

Irrefuckingversible. 😭

Arctic feedback chaos? Permafrost thaw? Albedo madness?

Irrefuckingversible my friends.

At least a million species are heading towards extinction and most of those are insects.

Extinction is certainly irrefuckingversible.

How many species will capitalism wipe out?

Pollinator annihilation. Once bumblebees are gone, they're gone.

More irrefuckingversible bullshit.

Desertification will be irrefuckingversible to a degree, but, as with much else in this ecological catastrophe, we can perhaps still limit the damage.

Fertile Soil Emergency:

1. 90% of Earth's soil set to become too degraded to farm by 2040s

2. destructive industrial farming is key reason

3. climate change (droughts & heat waves), erosion, forest loss, saltwater contamination, insect/worm declines, urbanisation also damaging
The twin threats of soil degradation and climate change are set to disrupt the global food supply.

🔺 90% of Earth's soils could become degraded by 2050 (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

This article from May 2019 is absolutely scathing about the idea we're heading for a soil calamity. It dismisses the FAO, seems to ignore European Commission findings, and lets destructive Big Ag corporations off the hook.

Soils will surely suffer at 2-3C?newscientist.com/article/mg2423…

1/ Deciding to downplay the terrifying reality of ecological & climate catastrophe is one of the greatest information crimes of history.

That the public are not being allowed to grasp the true nature of ecosystem collapse and abrupt climate change is a terrible wrong.

However,
2/ fully informing people of the full range of utter disasters now occurring in the oceans, the rainforests, and the Arctic, though obviously the right thing to do, can lead to a range of reactions: despair, indifference, denial, shock, determination to act. But this should not
3/ prevent us explaining the scientific reality of extinction, feedbacks, habitat destruction, plastic and chemical pollution, pandemics, etc. It is so utterly wrong that people are being deliberately kept in the dark by those with power and knowledge, that it is vital we somehow
