We're deep into the 500- 600 ppm atmospheric CO2e zone as we reach 1.5/2°C and rising. We're in 'deep shit' according to scientists. Slow down to dismantle the monstrous killer machinery of this Extinction Economy. 🧵

1. James Hansen warns we're at 561 ppm CO2e, and in danger of 2°C by the 2040s and on track for 10°C eventually.

2. The NOAA say that 'In terms of CO2 equivalents, the atmosphere in 2021 contained 508 ppm, of which 415 is CO2 alone. The rest comes from other gases.'

Look at where the black line is heading..

3. "The obvious acceleration of the breakdown of our stable climate simply confirms that—when it comes to the climate emergency—we are in deep, deep shit" ~@ProfBillMcGuire, professor emeritus of geophysical and climate hazards at University College London

4. Climate chaos is here. We can and must act fast to move away from today's industrial capitalism which already threatens extinction through ultra-destructive agriculture & ocean-emptying, logging, pollution, road-building, mining, construction, etc.
