An article about 7 out of 9 of earth's stabilising systems being heavily damaged and endangered is somewhere far, far down on a news site. How is "we're fucking up this habitat of ours so badly that it'll likely collapse" not headlines? #News #ClimateCatastrophe #ClimateCrisis #Biodiversity

The International Court of Justice has made it clear – keeping to 1.5C is not a choice, it is a legal obligation. We are not asking for your goodwill. We are not begging you. We are telling you what international law requires of you. End fossil fuel expansion. Your corporate profits cannot be allowed to extinguish our future. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint

Acne Flares May be Worsened by Climate Change While potentially protective, Boos and colleagues noted that cutaneous bacteria may be more vulnerable to higher effective UV radiation doses at increased temperatures, which are direct consequences of the changing climate. https://www.dermatologytimes.com/view/acne-flares-may-be-worsened-by-climate-change #ClimateEmergency #pollution #environment #ecology #ClimateCrisis #ClimateCatastrophe #CllimateChange #dermatology

A small chorus of right-leaning critics are trying to convince politicians that climate action is deeply unpopular, downplaying its seriousness in the process. They accept the reality of human-made climate change, but believe the impact of it won’t be as big as people argue, and that policies involved in mitigating these impacts will be expensive and difficult. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint

The terrifying scenes we’ve seen so far this summer are the latest part of a pernicious long-term pattern. Across the world, the past 11 years have been the 11 hottest ever recorded – and with a super strength El Niño forming in the Pacific which could pour yet more fuel on the fire, that trend is all but certain to continue. The climate emergency is here – and no one can say they didn’t see it coming. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint

Heat will once again build across the UK this weekend before the fifth widespread heatwave of the year is likely to be declared next week. From Sunday and into next week, temperatures could exceed 30C in south-east England. Yellow heat health alerts have been issued for most of England until Tuesday, warning of impacts for health and social care services and an increased risk to life for vulnerable people. https://www.bbc.com/weather/articles/cgr7d28vvpno #UK #globalHeating #ClimateCatastrophe #ClimateChange #weather #Environment #DoSomething

What people now nervously call “the new normal” is, in truth, not normal and but a taste of things to come. These extreme weather events we are increasingly experiencing – and the warlike mood they create – represent attacks on our soil. They are a call to mobilize. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint

While renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels in nearly all circumstances, fossil fuels are more profitable, because useful reserves are limited and can each be monopolised by a single corporation, while prices can suddenly take flight in times of war or chaos. Almost all the very rich are heavily invested in them. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint
