or any group!
Because if they told the truth they would have to explain climate change is happening faster than expected and society will soon collapse, so then they would be forced to demand the end of capitalism in order to save our species from extinction. And their boss wouldn’t like that.
My birthplace and entire North East India is facing serious flash floods and landslides for the last 5 days. This is climate emergency. Why media are not talking about this? 😔
i don’t know who needs to hear this but please can we stop talking as if covid is in the past and climate change is in the future. people are dying from both now so we should start acting like it asap before we all die tbh
For a few years i’ve tried not to talk constantly about climate collapse to everyone i meet, cus i figured it’s kinder, and they’ll see for themselves soon. But kids dying in Pakistan don’t have that luxury. So i guess i choose activism over personal relationships from now on.
I have noticed that a person’s reaction to soup being thrown at art is very revealing of how in denial they are.
Apart from harming others, no act of climate activism is too extreme to raise the alarm bell for what’s happening NOW to millions - and coming soon to billions of us.
the only thing that scares me more than the relentless floods and fires we see through our phones that eventually will come to all of us, is the total lack of response from everyone else as the world collapses in front of their eyes
look into the eyes of someone you love for 1 minute, like your kid. It will release love hormone oxytocin 💕
in that minute, the fossil fuel industry got £11 million in subsidies, which will kill the person you just looked at
please use your rage+love to fight for their life 🖤
My 6 year old: “will we die from climate change?”
Me: … “no, because there are enough people like you and me who care and want to change things.”
If only I could be so sure that I was telling the truth.
The drumbeat of stunning, terrifying climate news of recent weeks will only intensify going forward.
The media needs to trumpet the fact that this is a CRIME by the fossil fuel industry.
When climate collapse gets worse in your country and your family is starving hungry and the media STILL does not cover it, will you STILL not be bothered by climate change? Are you really waiting for the media to tell you to panic, instead of looking at the world and acting NOW?
That famous “bystanders” psychology experiment - where the more people witness a crime, the less likely they are to help the victim - is happening now with climate change.
Everyone on Earth is witnessing the greatest crime in history: extinction by capitalism. And doing nothing.
For the first time in recorded history, all seven official tropical cyclone basins have produced a Category 5 storm in the same year. *2023*
What a crazy year it has been so far…
send silly photos of my kids to my family
see historic floods in Greece, Turkey, China & Brazil
reply to my kid’s teacher about her first week at school
see record charts of ocean and global temperatures
see everyone carry on as normal
look up from phone & hug my kids tight
If everyone thinks we will be OK, we are doomed.
But if we know the truth, we may do everything we can to live.
We can handle it! It will make many of us sad - but then we can also prepare.
Scientists: please tell us the truth.
To everyone who has died or will die from wet bulb temperatures (under business as usual this could reach millions or even billions?) Andrew and Beverley say: LOL
This made me cry this morning because this is how children of our precious Earth will die. Laughed at as they go.

@GBNEWS
Presenters Laugh at Thousands Dying From Climate Change
📺 On air with Andrew Pierce and
@beverleyturner
, our spokesperson Alex De Koning spelled it our for the pundits — thousands of people are dying worldwide today as a direct result of climate change.
Collapse feels imminent. There is no way to prep for this. Wish I’d moved to the middle of nowhere so I could temporarily protect my family from the violence over food that we will all face, before starvation kills us.
What did you hope for your future, before Big Oil stole it?
I’ve not travelled by aeroplane for 3 years. I want to, but can’t when I know the impact flying has on my kids’ deaths and human extinction.
I should be less proud of this “achievement”. But it really is hard to escape from the high carbon consumerism we have been drugged with.
Since giving up flying in 2019 I’ve had my first tricky situation: my whole family is going away and feel like I’m ruining it for them by not going. Despite knowing flying is killing everyone. Why do we have to do this to ourselves while Kardashians take 5-minute jets like ubers
When are we gona start calling climate activists food activists instead?
Because nobody says it out loud but climate collapse = famine.
I believe in the right for me, my family & everyone on Earth to be able to eat enough food to stay alive.
How can anyone disagree with that?
Spain's farms are dying. Their pastures are disappearing. Their livestock is becoming too expensive to even feed. Their ministers resort to calling for the EU crisis mechanism to be triggered. The
#Climate
crisis is now an EU farming and food supply crisis.
Dear angry public,
Everything you read about climate activists seems “extreme” cus you don’t realise they’re fighting FOR YOUR LIFE.
You will be angry at them until media tell you the truth: YOUR life is at risk from climate and food system collapse.
Love,
Other angry public
I’m always surprised by how surprised people are about
#ClimateBreakdown
. Like did you think scientists were crying and gluing themselves to stuff & media distracting you from the truth for fun? Capitalism was always money over human life. Don’t be surprised when it does its job.
No matter if they are friends or strangers, I am using the constant British chat about this lovely weather as a welcome invite to talk about terrifying climate collapse. Do the same, maybe we’ll have 100% UK awareness in hours.
as musk is now full fascist & climate twitter is silenced i can tweet knowing nobody will see this and be totally honest:
it’s likely we are all going to die from climate collapse. but cus i love all life on Earth so much, i’ll never stop trying to save this miracle we call home
The more bad things happen, the less people care. This is the opposite of what I expected. Really thought Bangladesh floods & Siberia fires would be enough. But not even local stuff matters. There is no answer to “what will it take to wake people up”. They don’t want to be woken.
if ur just waking up to the realisation that we are the future people who may die from climate collapse & everyone around you is oblivious - know ur not alone, every day is a gift and love is everything💗
let’s find & support each other: comment if you have nobody to talk to👇
I’ve worked in climate “positive” organisations my whole life, but I only stopped flying & started properly going to protests, talking non stop outside of work, going vegan, joining community energy/veg groups etc once I realised how f*cked we are. When I had hope, I did nothing.
Doomism is about knowing the truth and telling it.
Once it becomes clearer that we are doomed, and more people become afraid, it will cause a massive surge in activism.
People, communities, cities, societies need to prepare for what's coming.
“I wish climate change wasn’t real.” - my daughter, born at 403.3ppm
here she is age 3 with her 1 year old sister in January 2020, when we were still legally allowed to protest our right to stay alive
Impact of Greek floods only now becoming apparent. Not only quarter of farming is obliterated, it is not coming back. Erosion and silt in fields means 9-10 years before they can be fertile. Huge internal migration taking place, as farmers give up

#ClimateCrisis
it’s wild to think that as the most intelligent known species in the universe, we were given these 2 choices.. and by ignoring science just to make a few billionaires a bit more money, we have chosen the second one ☠️
My baby turned 5 last week. I became collapse aware when pregnant. I’ve been living each day as if it’s one of my last for 5 years. Millions have since died. Grief comes in cycles. Nothing really helps. Solidarity with all those parenting, or not, in 2023. Love is all we have. 💗
Wow! The heat in the Mediterranean Sea is literally off the charts. It was predicted that we would witness this phenomenon in the 2030s and beyond, but it's happening "faster than forecast", and it's becoming a daily reality this summer.
I stopped paying into my pension at work last year because I don’t think I’ll live to use it - and would instead like to spend the money now. Forget that this maybe isn’t normal behaviour yet. Anyone else done this?

citizens who are trying to protect human life, but please can you arrest the criminal oil billionaires who are accelerating the death of my family and all life on earth.
Thank you,
Terrified mum of 2 young children
Media giving strong IDGAF vibes about incoming famine.
Naively, I never expected crop failures to become so normalised and ignored so fast.
As with everything about the climate and nature emergency, the masses are marching to starvation totally unaware.
“Millions of years from now, when the Earth has recovered from the sixth mass extinction, one of the only signs that humans existed will be a thin layer of plastic in the fossil record.”
My latest article. I defy anyone to read it and tell me we can still turn things around. We are already past the point of no return, but delayed effects make people think we still have time.

#climatechaos
so it turns out climate change actually means:
Famine
Violence
War
Genocide
and our government is doing: nothing.
and our media is saying: nothing.
If each tweet may be one of our last, thought i’d make mine a few thousand more characters👇 📝 🔥

@JustStop_Oil
stand. Most people were really supportive. Some were scared about collapse, one cried. A few disagreed with the tactics. But this answer from a rude tory sums up the problem: “I don’t have young kids.”
Ok so all young kids can die then?
i always want to shout about climate collapse to all the boiling frogs i know and love, but then recently had a sudden realisation that they already know, that everyone already knows on some level..and by shouting at them i’m just ruining their precious last days of good times :(
Waking up to another weirdly warm, spring like January morning. Birds tweet suspiciously. Society carries on as normal, as usual.
Shout out to you, for basically being entirely alone in awareness, as everything we know and love slowly collapses. And somehow keeping it together.
I don’t think they realise yet, but the billionaires won’t survive the Venus-like temperatures of a hothouse Earth. Even the most luxury bunkers will melt.
Maybe if they knew, they’d use their otherwise pointless billions to save billions of human lives from climate collapse.
Is Argentina a clue to how our species ends?
2024 is pivotal for our survival, with big elections in major polluters US, UK, India, Indonesia & EU.
Who is elected dictates whether we face the end of the world united.. or killing each other in race wars manufactured by fascists.

water, does it carry on sitting there or does it like get out and destroy fossil fuelled capitalism?
asking for a friend 🐸
it’s just weather
it’s called summer
it’s been happening forever
it’s overactive imaginations
it’s a scam & hoax
it’s leftist brainwashing
it’s naive
it’s a cult
it’s an echo chamber
it’s confirmation bias
don’t worry everyone, these are some comments i got this week.
phew!🙏
Now it’s 2 days later and as usual it’s as if the
#IPCCreport
never existed. I’m looking back at news in awe that journalists still can’t see the bigger picture. Climate change isn’t just flooding and heat. It is FAMINE. Yep, for rich white people too.
Eventually communities don’t recover from floods and fires. Eventually the people don’t survive.
Collapse is happening in every county on Earth, faster and faster.
The media chooses not to connect the dots.
Are you waiting until it’s your community, your home, your family?
Extremely sad about climate collapse today. Please could someone tell me stories about system change that are either likely to happen, or already happening now? No greenwashing, carbon tech or green capitalism please. There must be some signs of change, somewhere.
Every day, I look for evidence online or physically around me that I’m wrong. But that just makes it harder to deal with when yet again I’m not.
The more I accept climate collapse, the more I appreciate each second of my life, and the more energy I have to change everything.
We went to
#TheBigOne
yesterday and it felt so good to be surrounded by people who care, because it’s like they’re personally protecting my babies. Oh yea and all life on Earth. Sorry for being dramatic but i love u all, thank you for keeping us all - and me - alive 💚
To everyone who can see what’s happening, I love you all 🖤 I wish this wasn’t happening. Make every day of your life count on this beautiful precious planet. Now is all there is.
maybe if we all make the same New Year’s resolution it will work, so repeat after me:
🎉2023 🎉 is 🎉 the 🎉 year 🎉 we 🎉 destroy 🎉 capitalism 🎉 to 🎉 protect 🎉 all 🎉 life 🎉 on 🎉 Earth!
stranger things have happened
I’m so sad today. We have failed as a species to survive. Even tho they’re most guilty, I even feel sorry for billionaires cus eventually they go down with us. They don’t realise they can’t hoard & bunker their way out of runaway climate change. We work as one, or we fail as one.
At a
#ClimateJustice
rally today, where nowhere near enough people turned up, one of my kids had to lie in the shade for a bit. Everyone we walked past on the way was talking about the lovely weather. It’s November ffs! We are such appreciative boiling frogs. 🐸
seeing as my tweets are now getting pushed to deniers i need to say this:
scientists have got nothing to gain from telling the truth
and oil billionaires have got everything to lose, from you understanding the truth
it’s not that deep.
don’t believe billionaires.
It’s incredibly difficult being a climate scientist in this society, at an emotional level. We can see the future, it is terrifying, and we are being ignored
Does Nigeria and Pakistan being underwater mean nothing to most people you know?
Not caring about human suffering far away - especially the suffering of Black and Brown people - is the fossil-fuelled capitalist long game.
In the end, all we have is empathy.
Never let it go.
selfies get 80% more engagement than my climate posts, so look! And come with us to London on the 21st for
#TheBigOne
. Otherwise government thinks we care as little about our lives as they want us to, so they can squeeze a few more million out of the last days of civilisation🤮
Also have been telling everyone famine is coming for years and all I get is eye rolls. We could have prepared for this by now, with community food and garden allotment share systems, vertical underground growing, district council food stocks and water emergency centres. But nah
When I went to an early Extinction Rebellion meeting they said mass crop failures could happen within a few years and cause breakdown. What is happening is unspeakable. The only thing more shocking is the fact most of us are acting like it's not happening
if this makes me an extremist fine but i really wana dig up all the roads and replace them with community vegetable gardens, fruit tree forests, wildflowers, solar powered safety lights and magical playgrounds made from melted plastic waste and old billionaires i mean cars 🌿✨

ΔT +2.06 °C !!
This is what uncharted territory looks like.
The first time that the global temperature anomaly has broken through +2.0 °C, for a single day in observational history.
Much more to come in the months ahead.
Being OK with climate catastrophe happening to “our children’s children” while also not realising we are those kids as it’s already happening to us now, says a lot about our current stage of evolution as a species
it is bewildering, terrifying and embarrassing that news homepages don’t have live climate emergency banners above all headlines every day with emissions, global temps, fires, floods, crop failures and death counts.
bad news sells right

Brb need a twitter break cus the level of denial, arrogance, individualism and selfishness that some of my tweets have been attracting is quite something. Our survival as a species depends on both intelligence & kindness. Thought humans were better than this. See ya in a bit✌️👽
don’t think about it, these disasters are not all connected, science doesn’t mean anything, media would tell us if it did, it won’t happen to us will it, it’s all a cute fear mongering scam right
I want all the climate deniers who never stop crying
#ClimateScam
to know: we will never stop trying to save your life.
Whatever you call us, however violently you attack us on roads, and however long you believe the lies of oil billionaires.
We want you, and everyone, to live.
“transition” from fossil fuels as if we have time, as if people aren’t dying from storms, fires & crop failures in many countries already, as if small island states aren’t flooded, as if our ecosystems & food systems aren’t all connected, as if it doesn’t really matter if we live
In case you were not sure, their boss is a fossil fuel investor *cough* Rupert Murdoch *cough*, who has little interest in telling billions of people the truth about planet-heating fossil fuel emissions.
How do you think aliens will describe humanity’s collective cause of death, when they finally show up?
Capitalism-induced climate and ecological collapse due to denial, division and distraction which was violently - and legally - engineered by oil billionaires. Survivors: zero.
none of your friends and family know or care about the
#IPCC
report that came out today despite it explaining that if we carry on ignoring climate change, everyone they love is not likely to live to old age
Limits to Growth was published in 1972, exploring what happens when you try and grow an economy indefinitely on a finite planet.
We’ve been tracking these lines spookily closely.
Look what’s predicted to happen to food and population.
“The bankers were useless. […] If the world cooked and civilization fell apart, it wouldn’t be their fault, even though they were funding the disaster every step of the way.”
The Ministry For The Future by Kim Stanley Robinson is heavy but very good. Anyone else read it?
I never judge anyone for individual choices. If anyone is offended by this tweet (other than oil billionaires and private jet celebrities) then am afraid you have missed the point entirely. This is what they want - us to blame each other and not them. It’s the perfect crime.
All lives matter?
Then help save refugees who are fleeing hell.
Hate refugees?
Then help stop climate change because it’s about to create billions of them.
Don’t believe in climate change?
Then help all lives and go to hell.
