The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years.

CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years.

But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kids’ futures.

Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.

Up to 90% of all life on this planet died during the Permian Triassic extinction event when temperatures increased by 8C across 60,000 years.

We’re on track for a rise of 4C+ just in our children’s lifetimes.

It’s impossible to overestimate how much trouble we’re in.

Utterly beholden to lobbyists, staggeringly ignorant and dismissive of the natural world: Rachel Reeves might not look or sound like Donald Trump, but she is behaving very much like him. This government is even more of an ecological hazard than the Tories were.

WE WILL RUN OUT OF FOOD.

The fact we aren’t using this precious & precarious moment to rebuild our food system around need & not profit - changing what we eat, how we produce food & how we transport it - will prove our gravest & most suicidal mistake.

The amount of damage he’s already done to ecosystems & our futures is mind boggling. We shouldn’t be relying on the occasional benevolent whims of the obscenely rich for our survival! In a sane system hoarding such grotesque amounts of wealth wouldn’t be possible.

Ocean heating is - literally - off the chart.

We only get to do this to our planet once - front row seats to the greatest fuck-up in the history of our species; brought to us by decades of corporate greed, political corruption & public apathy, & paid for by the futures of children we claim to love.

As news comes out that Greta Thunberg and hundreds of other flotilla members are being tortured in Israeli 'prisons'.

I ask you.

The only ‘progress’ is toward a future most of our children won’t survive.

Sustainable fuel is a myth to greenwash corporate profits & assuage consumerist guilt. Another capitalist fantasy marching us toward societal collapse & billions of deaths.

Earth’s energy imbalance has DOUBLED in two decades.

The planet is hotter than it’s been in 125,000 years.

By mid century our world is on track to be at its hottest in about 3 MILLION years.

“The death rate rises abruptly from pollution & the lack of food.”
#LimitsToGrowth

We’ve been closely tracking these lines since the 1970’s.

Look at what’s about to happen to food production & population, & have a think about what that means for our kids.

Making the planet hotter than it’s been in 125,000 years.

Making CO2 levels higher than they’ve been in about 12 MILLION years.
