Today XR published its own tabloid newspaper (read all about it at issuu.com/mediattt/docs/…).
So let's look at what scientists are saying - but the media aren't - about terrifying developments in climate.

The kind of plans "climate champion" @JohnKerry is discussing publicly could lead to 3-4°C of heating - @KevinClimate.
That means the collapse of civilisation. Radical evil. Heard any journalists pointing that out to Kerry?

Limited heating to 1.5°C is still possible according to @JRockstrom, but requires a Herculean response.
So you'd think the media would be pressing for that every day right? Because it's now clear that anything less will be catastrophic.

"Limiting fossil fuel use isn’t enough – we must stop extraction too" - @PeterJNewell_
Politicians are rarely quizzed about their plans to stop extraction - which is a shame because they don't have any. Most of them are greenlighting new extraction.

"Things will get hotter & hotter until large swaths of the planet are actually uninhabitable, unless we rapidly end all fossil fuels" - @ClimateHuman
Current fires/floods/heatwaves are a small preview of what's to come. Why don't the media explain this?

The @IPCC_CH have been calling for a complete transformation of our society for several years now.
Heard much about that in the media?

Coal is our biggest single threat - but we're going to burn more of it in the future unless we somehow reduce demand for energy.

We have the solutions. We could save most of humanity while preserving living standards.
But just about every newspaper and TV show argues for more consumption, not less.

Until the media report these truths - until they hold politicians to account for the mass death they are bringing about - there can be little hope of real change.
