COLLAPSE: Without insects (the base of the food chain) we have no freshwater fish, birds, bats, amphibians or small mammals. An alarming 2019 scientific study found that 40% of insect species are at risk of extinction. Six years later the problem is only getting worse.. 🧵

The shooting of Charlie Kirk at a university is chilling & horrific. Political violence has no place in America. We all must reflect on how we can tone down the anger & hate that has poisoned our politics and be better citizens in a divided and aching nation.

"We are losing biodiversity at a rate unparalleled in human history." Global wildlife populations have sunk over 60% since 1970.
We are destroying ourselves and taking nature with us.
Time to protect people and the planet.

Over 100 tons of dead fish in the port of Volos in central Greece, following a mass die-off attributed to extreme climate fluctuations.
This isn't normal. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

🚨UPDATE on Lithium plant fire near "Salad Bowl of America" (produces 70% of U.S. greens): 2 weeks later, scientists find big spike in Nickel, Manganese, & Cobalt in soil 2 miles away.
NYU toxicologist tells me at high levels, metals "can get into certain produce or fruit"

So get this: the world's coral reefs disappear at 1.5C. We are past 1.5C now and heading for 2C
THEY ARE DONE.
The point is not "OMG all those lovely colourful things we see on David Attenborough are going to go"
No
The point is 25% of the world's fish will disappear as well.
No
The point is 1-2 billion people depend on those fish.
100s of millions of people will starve.
You're right, it could 'just' be only 10s of millions.
So that's okay then. No problem.
In years to come, we will look back at this time and ask the same question that future generations will ask: why didn’t we stop this catastrophe?

1.25/1.75°C, 2020s: ✔
1.75/2.25°C, 2030s: unavoidable?
2.25/2.75°C, 2040s: highly likely
We've no evidence whatsoever humans can survive such rapid global warming.
We could try to change this Doom Economy now to protect species and everyone while it's still too late.
We need to deploy grazing animals like goats, sheep, & cows on open spaces that haven’t burned in SoCal for fire prevention & climate adaption. They eat “fire fuel” & simultaneously fertilize the land, adding nutrients & moisture to the ground. @MayorOfLA @GavinNewsom cc @jonfavs

Did #climatechange cause that recent extreme event in my country?
There is strong evidence that characteristics of many individual extreme events have already changed because of human-driven changes to the climate system.

The DNC Ethnic Council informed us that I would be excluded from their DNC candidate forum today.
This elitist choosing who is allowed to speak and who is not allowed to speak dishonors democratic principles and Democrats.

.@MichaelEMann says it best: LA wildfires are a direct result of human-caused climate change. Rising temperatures and dwindling rainfall leave the land bone-dry—fueling the perfect conditions for these devastating fires.

The six biggest banks in the U.S. have quit the Net Zero Banking Alliance just before Trump's inauguration.
The alliance was formed with the goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
Let this serve as another reminder that so-called “corporate social responsibility” is a sham.
