Did you know 10,000s of scientists agree we must rethink economic growth now or face vast human misery as we exceed 417 ppm of atmospheric CO2 for the first time in 20 million years?
Climate justice action could protect people & species, but journalists remain shamefully silent.

1. Economic growth will mean climate-extinction calamity at 1.7°C-2.5°C by 2045.
An implausible-looking lower emissions scenario that assumes economic growth means 1.7°C or much, much more by the 2040s even if achieved.
Support independent media.

2. Economic growth is taking us to 1.5°C horrors or worse by around 2027-2029.
1.7°C-2°C possible by 2030-2032.

Deforestation, logging, mining, plastic & chemical pollution, insecticides, road-building, etc, etc.
