Climate is just one symptom of the fact that humanity is using equivalent resources of 1. 7 planet Earths, way beyond Earth capacity to regenerate
We are using future Earth resources to maintain unsustainable present economic growth destroying Earth ability to maintain life
Ipcc #ClimateReport projects that #climatechange will in all regions
More #heatwaves, longer warm seasons and shorter cold seasons, changes in precipitation patterns affecting flooding and drought
With every additional amount of global warming, changes will get larger
No one talks about the garbage island in the Pacific.
But it’s larger than France, Germany, and Spain combined.
And it’s leaking toxic chemicals into the fish you eat.
Here’s what you were never told about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch:

More than 150 ‘unprecedented’ climate disasters struck world in 2024, says UN. Floods, heatwaves and supercharged hurricanes occurred in hottest climate human society has ever experienced.
« The White House is ending funding for the body that produces the federal government’s pre-eminent #climate report, which summarizes the impacts of rising global #temperatures on the United States.
Every four years, the US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) is required by Congress to release a new national climate assessment to ensure leaders understand the drivers of – and threats posed by – global #warming. It is the most comprehensive, far-reaching and up-to-date analysis of the climate #crisis, playing a key role in local and national decision making about agriculture, energy production, and land and water use. »

CocaCola is the No1 polluter on the planet. Its packaging is needlessly damaging, its product massively damages health & the company exists SOLELY to enrich shareholders. Its very existence & success is enough evidence ON ITS OWN that we need to break from this suicidal system.
The climate crisis is on track to destroy capitalism, a top insurer has warned, with the vast cost of extreme weather impacts leaving the financial sector unable to operate.

Every fraction of a degree matters.
Rising temperatures put marine life and coastal ecosystems at risk of irreversible loss.

State of the Global Climate 2024
Key messages:
Key #ClimateChange indicators again reach record levels
Long-term #warming (averaged over decades) remains below 1.5°C
#SeaLevelRise and #OceanWarming #irreversible for hundreds of years
Record #GreenhouseGas concentrations combined with #ElNiño and other factors to drive 2024 record heat
Early warnings and #climate services are vital to protect communities and economies
The clear signs of human-induced climate change reached new heights in 2024, which was likely the first calendar year to be more than 1.5°C above the pre-industrial era, with a global mean near-surface temperature of 1.55 ± 0.13 °C above the 1850-1900 average.
