Abrupt Climate Change:
The combination of rate & magnitude over the coming decades is unprecedented.
We must expect rates of warming, shifting rainfall and drought that will challenge the adaptive capacity of life on Earth including human beings.
Media won't make this clear.🧵

1.We must protect species and everybody. The current growth economy would take us to 1.6°C-3°C hell in the next 25 years if maintained. Fair, emergency system change required. Only by supporting independent media might the action-blocking silence be broken.climatecentral.org/news/ecosystem…
2. An ecological catastrophe.
Pollution, deforestation mostly due to animal agriculture, logging, mining, road-building, disease, industrial fishing, abrupt climate change, etc,..all causing rapid extinction.
Economic system change now.

3.Without emergency system change we can expect >2°C by the 2030s or 2040s. That will mean impacts that we cannot adapt to.
IPCC chart. With emissions projected to rise to extreme record levels over the next 4 years, the first two scenarios below just don't seem very relevant.
