(a LOT of gas).

Seeing what is going on in India right now fills me with a sense of dread. We are going to see so many mass death events just from extremely hot temperatures. It is awful and no one is taking it seriously.

Canada’s warmest ever winter, followed with low to non-existent snowpack in many areas, and ongoing drought raising fears that this summer will see more of Canada's forests and wildland urban interface go up in flames.

"The dry and historically warm winter we just experienced across Canada puts the country in a bad spot heading into wildfire season over the weeks and months ahead," #TheWeatherNetwork reported in March.

In 2023, it was just 12 days

❗️This is a key message from science: To effectively tackle the #PlasticsCrisis, we need to reduce the production of primary #plastics! Plastic does not go away,so it accumulates on our planet. If burned, it increases emissions of GHG & highly toxic fumes & residues.

Health systems account for around 4.6% of the total greenhouse gas emissions worldwide
If they were one country, health systems would be the fifth on the list of worst offenders.

There is so much work still to be done in this sector.

52,000 km2 of 'long unburnt' Australian habitat has vanished in 40 years

Fire regimes are changing across the globe, stoked by #climate and land-use change. Recent #megafires in #Australia, #Brazil, #Canada & #UnitedStates epitomize the dire consequences of shifting fire regimes for #humanity and #biodiversity alike.
We found areas of long unburnt vegetation are shrinking. Meanwhile, areas of recently burnt vegetation are growing. And fires are burning more frequently.

In case anyone’s not too sure.. this is what a 'spring lawn' is supposed to look like.

Breakdown:

• No irritating lawn-mower lines.
• A multitude of flowers.
• Lawn-mower rests, unperturbed in garden shed.
• No Louis X1V - 'rules over nature'.
• No walking up and down for hours, making a really annoying, loud noise and irritating the neighbours.

• Just peace, quiet and LOTS of bees.

Infuriated at how those in our financial system insist on investing in the exact opposite of what everyone on Earth—including them—needs to ensure stable planetary systems?

Join us next Monday when Prof. Steve Keen, delves into his latest report with Carbon Tracker and his astonishing findings of just how little economists understand of accepted climate science—and how that endangers us all.

This presentation will followed by a Q&A.

Even the scant work that's been done to restore nature is being undone by increasing ocean temps.

Every bit of fossil fuels burned pushes us further past the point of no return.

Some things are already lost, but there is so much we can still preserve.

Just because the right-wing are anti-Taylor doesn't mean everyone on the left needs to start stanning a billionaire.

There are no good billionaires. If she was a good person, she wouldn't be one either. It's fine to enjoy her music but she's as harmful as every other billionaire for simply existing.

Do I think some billionaires are more actively harmful than others? Sure. But none of them should be billionaires. There are no good ones.

Happy Friday! I was bored at work so I made an empirically accurate infographic about #ClimateChange and #Climate solutions under the market supremecist religion that we all live under.

I work in climate comms and I guarantee you, all I'm allowed to do is tell people how great it is to buy heat pumps and electric vehicles, but in a very convoluted way.
