Back in 2012 The EU Met Office ran a climate simulation. "The team concluded that a global warming of 3 degrees Celsius by 2050 is 'equally plausible' as a rise of 1.4 degrees"

Today, 1.4°C is dead. 3°C seems very likely given record population, GHG & deforestation since Paris in 2015.

This is something that most fail to see👇

Permafrost emissions are on track to overtake India’s human emissions Arctic Amplification, driving temperature increases up to 4x faster than the rest of the world, is melting Permafrost at alarming rates that will soon see it’s emissions eclipse even large countries.

Permafrost is melting with emissions of carbon dioxide and methane on a par with Japan’s human emissions. Soon they will overtake India’s.

Few want to admit that graph is looking like the beginning of an exponential curve. +3 by 2050 is now on the table. To talk about the real consequences is the new taboo.

Our species went into overshoot of Earth's carrying capacity in 1971.

Very true.

The 6th Mass Extinction Is Further Along Than We Thought — Popular Mechanics It's getting late.

The arrogance continues to be clearly on display:
“More specifically, it has rational actors capable of understanding the problem and trying to fix it, even though they caused it in the first place.”

Foolish ignorance.

This is what a species becomes when they ‘believe’ they rule the planet. The completely arrogant and terrifying Homo Colossus.

THE HALL OF INFAMY: A Global Century of Environmental Supervillains A century of leaders who liquidated the living world--and left us the bill.

“Today’s supervillains don’t sign bribes in smoke-filled rooms. They speak at climate summits. Pose in front of solar farms. Break ground for carbon-capture industrial complexes. Promise “net zero” while expanding extraction.”

1/ Complicit scum from a nation that can’t and won’t recognise it’s own genocide:
“Because of colonial genocidal actions like state-sanctioned massacres, the First Nations population went from an estimated 1-1.5 million before invasion to less than 100,000 by the early 1900s…”

Wonderful!

Egos drunk on their self-importance. It is terrifying.

I’m trying out Pixelfed as an alternative to Instagram. I’ve enjoyed the creativity of my phone-only photography on Insta but I’m getting out of it. We don’t need oligarchs to be creative and we don’t need to support the shit.

Same here - only use it for messenger. There are other ways to keep in touch so I’m getting out of it and Instagram. Why should we have anything to do with the oligarch toys?

This is heartbreaking. So often I struggle to find words to describe the pain of all this.

‘Deathly silent’: two out of three corals in world heritage-listed Ningaloo reef have been killed, scientists confirm One expert says she is ‘starting to visualise the point where all we have left of corals and reefs is memories’

The more we moved away from our connectedness with nature, the less creative we became. I often look at how indigenous peoples were creative in all aspects of their existence but in ways that don’t damage and destruct. There was a flow of many small creative acts in everyday life.

“This is a wake-up call,” said author and ACEAS Deputy Director, @profmattengland.bsky.social (UNSW). “The evidence shows us clearly that the MOC has slowed down, and if this trend continues the impacts on human societies, climate and ecosystems will be profound.”

“Aboriginal people are known to have occupied mainland Australia for at least 65,000 years. It is widely accepted that this predates the modern human settlement of Europe and the Americas.”
