Emissions, fossils fuels & deforestation are symptoms - not causes like cows & cars. That we discuss & treat symptoms only is a feature and not a bug. We don't want to change.
Mitigation & adaptation are the same:
- plant based
- local
- low tech

US lost 90% of bumblebees in 20 years but they are not extinct yet.
US lost 80% of all bees in 2025 but bees are not extinct yet.
UK lost 63% of all flying insects biomass in 3 years, 2021-2024, but flying insects are no extinct yet.
The technical term is #extinction debt. #WalkingDead #Ghosts

It takes 10 years for CO2 to reach 90% of temperature impact and hence the 2°C carbon budget is zero today. 2°C is committed based on past actions.
Most species on Earth will go extinct because of past actions too. Nature reserves (zoos) and wild gardens can trick us into thinking it's not so bad.

Where I live, all organic foods tested had PFAS above the safe levels inside. Not as high as non-organic foods but still.
Food is officially toxic to humans now.

Every single food product tested in #Austria had dangerous #PFAS levels. Also organic plants that do not bioaccumulate & biomagnify like animal foods. #Collapse

We are vastly overpopulated.
This video below explains how greenwashed we are re populations (humans and livestock).
We've added 800 million more humans since this chart below came out and eat 10% more meat / person.
Wildlife mammals on land are down to 1% now.

- 14.9% less likely be on medication

The biodiversity aka Life-On-Earth collapse wave will hit us sooner and deadlier than expected™️ It will hit us together with the smaller climate change wave.
There will be no 1.5°C to pass because we never dared to define a benchmark other than 0% aka extinction. There is no extinction overshoot.

Climate change is a symptom of emissions which are a symptom of population & consumption growth. Having children, driving cars and eating cows.
We've added 800M more humans since 2015 (Paris) and eat 10% more meat/person (more old-growth deforestation). We also build 900M new cars (most not EVs).
