An 11-minute ride to space, like the one taken by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, is responsible for more carbon per passenger than the lifetime emissions of any one of the world’s poorest billion people.
At least 66 people have been killed in landslides caused by heavy rain in northern India.
Homes and buildings have collapsed as more rain is forecast ⤵️
5 million fish are killed every minute by fishing industry
Super trawlers are devouring the ocean of marine life
These ships can catch, process and store hundreds of thousands of tonnes of fish
This is not sustainable
Make it stop
Ban super trawlers now
Ban Private Jets
Globally, the 1% of air travelers who use private jets cause half of all emissions by passenger flights
After France and UK, Germany Europe's third-biggest private jets, with 58,424 flights in 2022, emitting a total of 208,645 tons of CO2
The record gliding distance of the southern flying squirrel is about 100 yards. On average, they are 10ish inches long. If one southern flying squirrel can hurl their body a distance 360 TIMES ITS SIZE,,, you can get through this week. Crazier things have happened.
Get this. The F your feelings crowd is now saying they don’t want their kids learning Black or Native history. You know why? — because they say it’ll hurt their feelings.
The Flat Fire in Oregon is now 15,200+ acres.
The fire has gone Type 1.
Currently there are 34 crews and 8 helicopters on scene.

has "discovered hundreds of examples of fossil fuel giants paying influencers, in an attempt to convince millennials that oil and gas companies are not 'the bad guys'."
🚨Spoiler alert: they are the bad guys
Every day our climate is getting worse
Every day politicians corporate elite compromise on climate action but laws of Physics does not do compromise
Devastating climate change is now baked in
Only option now is to avoid complete climate collapse and they will not even do that
BREAKING: Abigail Disney and 12 climate activists arrested for shutting down private East Hampton airport where celebrities and the ultra rich take their private jets to the beach.
It’s time to ban private jets and tax the rich so we can all live!

🙏🪶 Thank you for sharing your story. So much suffering in the past. So difficult to process in the present. By sharing, listening, we can all make it a little better.
UPDATE: Global average sea level has risen over 101 mm (almost 4 inches) since 1993 as a result of human-caused global warming, with recent rates being unprecedented over the past 2,500-plus years.
Stop use of pesticides, deforestation, habitat destruction or we face a lifeless world
Approximately 80% of all Earth plants are angiosperms, or flowering plants, that require pollination from either bees, butterflies or other pollinating insects
The fossil fuel industry are so powerful that even as large swathes of Earth burn and thousands die and millions of animals
Biden cannot even bring himself to declare a climate Emergency as fossil fuel industry rake in ‘staggering’ $3bn-a-day profits for last 50 years
Climate strike week 175.
Today we took to the streets of Belfast to demand climate action from the people in power. Without Stormont fully functioning, we are relying on our councils and local grassroot activists but also banks, world leaders and international corporations.
Bees are essential to life
Mass hunger and starvation without Bees
Ban Pesticides now
75 percent of
the world’s crops producing
fruits and seeds for human
consumption depend, at least in
part, on pollinators for sustained
production, yield and quality.
📣 Urgent solidarity with Kampala protesters! 4 activists, including women, arrested & detained. We condemn these arrests & demand their immediate release. We repeat, opposing

Monster Heat Wave in South America with temperatures up to 46C
The town of Tartagal in Argentina with 43.0c broke its December record of highest temperatures
Very close (but they can beat it tomorrow) Santiago del Estero 44.7C,Las Lomitas 44.5C and Oran 43.9C
Even worse tomorrow!
In 2022, water levels in some of the world’s largest rivers, including the Rhine in Europe and the Yangtze in China, fell to historically low levels. The Mississippi River fell so low in Memphis, Tennessee, in mid-October that barges were unable to float
Philippines oil tanker spill prompts fears for protected marine areas. Getting very little attention in MSM. At risk of damage; 1,626 hectares of mangroves and 362 hectares of seagrass.

Ban Artificial grass
As well as chemicals that can leach into the soil and pollute waterways, the turf also provides no food or shelter for animals, and the plastic fibers can be harmful if ingested.
can increase temperatures in urban areas
Where cows should be outside breathing fresh air and enjoying life as nature intended
Instead they will never see a blade of grass or know any form of natural world as they are locked up inside
Mega Industrial farms treated as mere products and not living beings
What good is an economy when every where around you is on fire and you can barely breathe and must run for your life, but if people allow fossil fuel industry and deforestation to continue, one day there will be nowhere to run too.
Without the oceans we would already be toast
BREAKING: Sir David Attenborough FINALLY supports transitioning to a plant-based food system!
In last night’s episode of Planet Earth III, Sir David Attenborough explained how moving to a plant-based diet would free up land and help tackle the climate crisis.
#AnimalRising
A new world
Canada to date, 4,002 fires have burnt over 23 million acres (around 9.3 million hectares) and its still only early is season
From ocean heat to air temps to wildfires to disappearing Polar ice
Climate tipping points are tipping now in 2023
The science is clear - fossil fuels are driving climate breakdown.
The deadly floods in Libya, fires in Greece and famine in the Horn of Africa are all more likely because of burning coal, oil and gas.
A liveable future means we must

We found plastic microfibres in every single sample we took. In Antarctica, the Atlantic, and the Pacific. Nearshore and hundreds of miles from land.
Let’s make 2024 the year we turn the tide on (plastic) pollution 💪🏻
