CLIMATE-EXTINCTION CRISIS
We're heading for 2°C in the 2030s, or the 2040s.
The global food system is shifting into high risk territory. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. Billions of people will soon face intolerable risk.

1. 'The findings are dire.'
What this article fails to mention is that climate models show 1.5°C could hit any time before 2033 and that we could even be at 2°C by the 2030s. Emissions are projected to rise to extreme record levels by 2025.

2. 'nearly a billion people around the world are facing climate change related environmental hazards' (2019)
Rich nations are refusing to cough up the funds they promised to help protect the vulnerable. The current economic system is deadly. Change it.

1.5 °C: 16% of the world’s population in 2050 – 1.5 billion people – will have moderate-to-high levels of risk in two or more of the water, energy, and food and environment sectors.
2 °C: this figure nearly doubles to 29% of global population

The FAO says the global food system is already facing unacceptable risk due to ecological disasters.
We won't cope with many 2°C impacts: 'medium to high confidence that agriculture is already at moderate risk, which becomes high risk around 2 degrees'vox.com/science-and-he…

5. A new study 'sounding the alarm on global ecosystem collapse if action is not taken urgently.' (2021)
It's not just about abrupt climate change.
We need to shift away from destructive economic growth to protect species, ecosystems and people.

6. 'In what may be the most comprehensive evaluation of the environmental state of play in Australia, we show major and iconic ecosystems are collapsing across the continent and into Antarctica.'
We need a vast movement to bring about positive change.

7. I haven't seen the film which apparently is good on media denial/silence/omission/ignorism/downplaying.
I can tell you the fake-solutioning offered by the star actor and director (carbon capture, more economic growth) must be rejected.
We need emergency system change action.
