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.

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.

Do you stand with Greta Thunberg?

Spread the message Free Greta Thunberg if you do.

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.

Our kids’ futures are burning before our eyes.
Wildfires are getting deadlier and costing more. Experts warn they’re becoming unstoppable
Of 200 fires in the past 44 years, half of the fires that cost US$1bn or more were in the last decade

You think agriculture can survive this sort of shock?

CARRYING ON AS NORMAL IS SUICIDE.

The UK’s top actuaries - i.e. professional risk assessors - predict that 3C will kill around half the world’s people.

How old will your kids be by 2060?

The above is a 2021 update of the original 1972 projection, below.

Both graphs are telling us the same thing: our relentless pursuit of economic growth is leading us to mass death in the second half of this century.

“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.

We’re just over a month out from COP30.

CO2 levels are higher than they’ve been in around 12 million years.

Maybe, just maybe, all those capitalists & lobbyists aren’t REALLY trying to fix this...

Climate collapse isn’t something that’s just ‘happening’ to us.

It’s something that rich countries are inflicting on themselves - & everyone else.

The fact we’re sliding toward fascist hate & fear at the exact moment we need compassion & empathy to bring about global climate justice is not a fucking accident.

Just a box containing some numbers that should make every single one of us re-evaluate what we choose to do for the rest of our lives.

We live in a system…

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.

Distracting us with so much inanity & ignorance most people have no idea this means we’re on track to lose absolutely everything.

“Mum, dad, what did you do when professional risk assessors predicted 4 billion deaths before my 40th birthday?”

Another piece of evidence for the “We’re being led by psychopaths who are sacrificing our children for shareholder profit” pile.

It’s getting pretty high.
