This is what happens when a world is built around a system where psychopaths control everything.

They don’t care that everything is going to die, in fact they’re probably cheering it on.

It’s time for those of us capable of love, empathy & compassion to reclaim this world.

And yet this is nowhere near the top of the news cycle. Because the ultra-wealthy control everything.
Alarm bells are ringing in the Horn of Africa. Farms are no longer yielding, pests are spreading, and tropical diseases are emerging. Climate change is real, and it’s destroying lives. #ClimateCrisis #GlobalAction

Climate change could lead to 123 million additional malaria cases and 532,000 deaths between 2024 and 2050. Extreme weather events are identified as the primary driver. The findings emphasize the need for climate-resilient malaria control strategies and robust emergency response systems.

It is now no longer possible to ignore the fact that, not only are emissions not coming down, but we are accelerating away from actions to bring them down

While the world burns, climate breakdown is increasingly being ignored by governments and corporations

Critical climate/weather/snowpack info for my WA state and PNW peeps. #wawx #PNW
On Thu., Jan. 29 at noon Pacific Time, I'll discuss ongoing record warm winter/record low snowpack in U.S. West and its juxtaposition vs severe Arctic cold and a historic ice storm in central/eastern U.S. this past week--including climate context of both.

10 is my answer

And at this point in unmitigated climate change, humans are an endangered species too.
On a scale from 1-10, how worried are you about the extinction of endangered species due to habitat destruction? 🐾🌍

"Trump and those around him are not doing this because it saves money, but because the science itself offends their worldview. It is a refusal to admit the political enemies they have derided for decades might actually have been right." - @marchudson.bsky.social
US climate obstruction used to be about profits. Trump’s scorched earth policy is something else
Capitalism is more aligned with climate policy than ever. So what explains US opposition?

No other species on Earth systematically destroys its own habitat for temporary gain. We do—and call it "economic growth." If this is intelligence, we'd be better off acting on instinct. The planet deserves better stewards. Heal her now. ❤️🪴 #EcoJustice

"The fascists want us to stop paying attention to climate.
I’m a primarily spite-motivated person, so this one is perhaps my most-repeated mantra...

Fuck them and fuck that."

Wrote myself a pep talk to get back to work tomorrow. It helped me. Hope it helps you.
I don't know how to do this
But I'm going to keep doing it anyway.

Global warming = climate change = extreme weather. I hate this person and his minions and enablers with every ounce of my soul. He is part of the reason my daughter will have to FIGHT to have food and clean water when she's my age. #Climate #TheEarthIsScreaming

It was such a beautiful day in the #PNW today (cold but sunny), that I nearly forgot about everything happening, you know, out there *gesturing vaguely*.

2025 was the third hottest year on modern record. What's fun is that 2025 wasn't fueled by El Nino like #1 and #2 years on that list.

"This isn't weather, it's our planet screaming. Time to listen." 👏
Did you know?
2025 was the third hottest year on record, and the last 11 years are the warmest ever. Oceans absorbed 90% of the extra heat, fueling stronger storms, heavier floods & marine die-offs.
This isn't "weather", it's our planet screaming. Time to listen.

Hey Martin Kettle of @theguardian.com , guess when the last time the earth was this warm. Too many digits for you to comprehend.

Hey Martin Kettle guess when the last time we had tech like we do now. Oh right, never. But do go on how we've been here before. 🙄

It perplexes me that stories like this from all over the planet aren't the number one headlines. I'll keep saying until the day I die: there are no human rights of any kind on an unlivable Earth.

I hate how much I hate him and his henchpeople. Our children will not have a livable Earth. There are no political divides to bridge in a future without water and food. I'm done begging politely. F**k these people.

Jaw-dropping visual.
Humans have emitted 2750 gigatons of CO2 since the industrial revolution from burning fossil fuels and land use change. To put this in perspective, this is more than the (dry) mass of all living things on earth and everything humans have ever built combined:

Granted, I haven't been alive during the entirety of 1895-2025...but as someone who lives in one of those red splotches, I can confirm that things are different from my childhood in the 80s.
🔥🔥🔥 December 2025 temperature ranking (since 1895). A lot of the West had their warmest December on record and nearly everywhere out west had a top 5 warmest December. 🫠

This data is incomprehensible to many people, despite excellent SciComm. It'll take their houses floating/burning away before an ember of understanding sparks. But even then, that ember is tamped down by the regimes in charge. We need global effort from the powerful & wealthy to bail out this ship.
Mind blowing that millions & millions of people have been born, lived their entire lives, & died without ever realising that the man-made system they mistakenly believe is the real world is actually the very thing destroying it.

Our kids aren’t gonna have that luxury.

I fear that the collective global effort required to fix this impending catastrophe will never be reached: hoarding wealth and power take precedent.
