Humans are the only species that creates garbage and pollution The only one.

Business as usual means that we will keep adding 80 million more people net every year. Like a new Germany. 1 million new humans every 4.5 days. “Population growth and rising incomes remain the strongest drivers of increases in CO2 emissions and industrial processes." - IPCC, 2022

Global Warming At 3 °C By 2050? What’s Behind The New German Climate Warning worldcrunch.com/focus/green-... Avoiding 3°C by 2050 is impossible imo. We see record population, GHG & deforestation growth, not reductions. The #IPCC considers reducing by reducing "unrealistic". El Nino in late 2026 🍿

We talk about species extinction, but the real story is ecosystem extinction. When ecosystems disappear, they take thousands of species with them, named or not. Most of those losses never enter a database.

Don't Look Up was a documentary.

10 years after the Paris Agreement, we have reached a '3-year average global temperature anomaly of +1.5°C in 2 or more datasets'! And we can't blame El Niño for this, as ENSO was on average negative during this period. The Paris Agreement was doomed from the start..

Three of the five worst harvests on record have now occurred since 2020. You can only pick one: Energy from fossil fuels instead of the sun OR Food.

Only one of 10 million species.

“The economy used to treat consumers as the half-point of a product’s journey to the landfill, but now a new shortcut has been found: all of us have become waste disposal units”

The accumulated waste of generations of mass consumption is decaying in landfill, + the chemicals those goods were drenched in - lead, mercury, cadmium, PFAS, PCBs - are seeping slowly back out into water, soil + air. Our report with @investigate-europe.eu: euobserver.com/eu-political...

“This incredibly vibrant, busy and restless world is actually a façade for the most asleep society we have ever experienced.  The more this metaverse dresses itself up in a kaleidoscopic festival of colours, the more the lights of human consciousness fade” From my book BEYOND THE PETRI DISH

If our civilization wasn’t fueled by spiraling inequality & extractive profiteering this single tragedy would be enough to spur a complete societal transformation. But if our civilization wasn’t fueled by these things our world likely wouldn’t be collapsing before our eyes.

Hundreds of lives lost & millions devastated. Crops under water means more hunger & struggle to come, when many in already suffered food insecurity. Sri Lanka is facing a “humanitarian crisis of historic proportions,” Disaster Management Centre. This is what climate change & deforestation means.

Happy #thicktrunktuesday 🌳🌲🪾🖤 Old Sweet Chestnut trunk in the backyard here. One of my favourite ents! I call it The Face of Boe.

I don’t miss calls, I stare at them until they go away

From cigarettes to artificial intelligence, humans learned the hard way which innovations are beneficial and which need to be tolerated like a chronic disease. Civilization is an experiment, and we are mad scientists: too risk-taking, and always willing to be guinea pigs in our own research.

England's water plans don't provision for extra water use in planned carbon capture + hydrogen projects according to a new report, writes Watershed's @rachelsalvidge.bsky.social 🧵 1/6 share.google/M8k1NKdDUXWR...

Floods in #Indonesia, #Thailand and #SriLanka have left nearly 800 dead! #Collapse

It's been quite something to see one of the world's leading climate scientists, James Hansen, being vilified the past years for presenting data showing the rapid acceleration of global and regional warming, associated with continued greenhouse gas emissions and rapid reduction of air pollution.

The government's plans for carbon capture + hydrogen could consume 860mn litres of water a day - which may leave some parts of England without enough water to meet demand, even with additional reservoirs being built, report finds. Our latest article, out now: share.google/GiSGJ9xD2ES3...

Charlie Chaplin in 1940 - as relevant today as then We all want to help each other - we want to live by each others happiness, not by each others misery, we don"t want to hate and despite one another - but we have lost our way Greed has poisoned men"s souls our cleverness made us hard and unkind

“This corrosive system has cleverly convinced us all that we can’t live without it, when in fact we will die precisely because of it”

I probably shouldn’t enjoy solitude as much as I do, but honestly, the world just feels too much at times

Society feels like a huge laboratory experiment owned by macho scientists: everyone wants to take credit, no one has a fucking clue, and an explosion is about to level the place down

The irony is rich.

When Rachel analysed methane emissions data, the area around Drax had the UK's second highest levels of this potent greenhouse gas. Is using taxpayer money to subsidise chopping down forests to burn wood to power a data centre, the best way to address climate change? share.google/jOkmYCqgXmzk...

Oh look, there were 420 water-related conflicts across the world in 2024, far surpassing the 355 in 2023, according to the latest update of the Pacific Institute’s Water Conflict Chronology, a global database of water-related violence. #collapse

I love vibing at home, in my own space, doing my own thing. No drama, no noise, just me, my peace, my snacks, and zero obligations. I enjoy my own company way too much to be out chasing chaos

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

Brutal honesty from Mark 🖤

I have very strong doubts about the 'Current Policy Scenario' (CPS) by the @iea.org. What policies guarantee coal use to start a rapid decline within a decade? Weak tea pledges don't count. Unregulated fossil fuel supply has always found demand.

This is the world’s wheat belt, which feeds billions. Above 30C wheat yield drops by as much as 44%. Wars, lack of water and soil degradation bring us to the end game even faster. But hey, we have data centres and AI slop

Fifteen days in the wild, and this truth feels sharper than ever: We are drying up the fountains of life….forgetting they’re what quench both body and soul.

'Ten years ago the world’s leaders placed a historic bet. The 2015 Paris agreement aimed to put humanity on a path to avert dangerous climate change. A decade on, with the latest climate conference ending in Belém, Brazil, without decisive action, we can definitively say humanity has lost this bet.'
