Almost half of the world’s pop. was exposed to at least 30 days of extreme heat driven by the #ClimateCrisis b/w Jun-Aug. >3.8B people suffered extreme temps. for over a month. As average global temps.⬆️due to human-caused climate crisis, heatwaves around the world have become more brutal & longer, exposing more people to heat. Countries with the lowest emissions experienced 3-4X more hot days with very strong climate fingerprints than the G20 countries🚨. #ActOnClimate https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/heatwave-europe-america-2023-climate-b2407367.html

Nations will belch out ~22B tons more CO2 in 2030 than the climate can cope with if the global temp. rise is to be held to 1.5C +worst impacts of the #ClimateCrisis are to be avoided. That 22B tons that must be eliminated is=comb. emissions of CH/US/IN/RU/JP. The systemic transformation of every aspect of society that's req. needs to start kicking in quickly enough to halt the rise of emissions seen since the Industrial Rev.🚨within just 2 yrs. #ActOnClimate #ClimateCrisis https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/08/climate-action-un-global-emissions-report

Antarctica: The world's last great wilderness is under threat

Antarctica is home to a unique and fragile ecosystem that is under threat from climate change. 😰

The continent's ice is melting at an alarming rate, which is causing sea levels to rise, disrupting marine life, and threatening the survival of iconic species like penguins. 🌊❄️🐧

🚨 New study finds that melting ice in Antarctica is nearing the point of no return. 😱

This could have a devastating impact on our planet, including rising sea levels, more extreme weather events, and the extinction of many species. 🌊❄️🔥

🚨🚨🚨Florida, coastal areas⬆️🌊levels & arctic⬇️🧊: Antarctica is likely warming at almost twice the rate of the rest of the world & faster than #ClimateChange models are predicting. Implications from the study: future changes in Antarctic sea ice, terrestrial & marine ecosystems, & potentially even sea level rise. Greater warming could also lead to more melting of coastal ice shelves that protect glaciers. #ActOnClimate #ClimateEmergency. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/08/antarctica-warming-much-faster-than-models-predicted-in-deeply-concerning-sign-for-sea-levels

This photo of an 80 year-old, grandfather looking for his fellow citizens on the roofs of the houses in Metamorfosi Karditsa, Greece, with the help of his old iron river boat, captures the imminent danger of the #ClimateCrisis. Extreme weather events are occurring in multiple places, worldwide, every day🚨. Hurricane Lee in the Atlantic will be a Cat 5 by Friday. Hopefully it will head north & the US will be spared. #GlobalWarming is responsible for more intense storms. #ActOnClimate

#1 priority for Congress & all elected officials should be the #ClimateEmergency. It's an existential threat already devastating parts of Brazil, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, China, Indonesia... The loss of lives & livelihoods is heartbreaking, but it's also causing loss of crops, livestock...: Flooding from a cyclone in S Brazil washed away houses, trapped motorists in several cities, killing ~40 ppl🚨 & leaving 2,300 homeless.

Wie schützt man sich vor sowas?
Ganz einfach:

Gar nicht.

Vor der #klimakatastrophe kann sich niemand schützen! Das ist etwas was immer noch nicht alle kapiert haben. Oder kapieren _wollen_!
In diesem Monopoly gibt es keine "Du kommst aus dem Klimawandel frei"-Karte!

well, don't just stand there! DO SOMETHING

these are the consequences of JUST HALF A DEGREE of warming. Are you ready to say good bye to 33% of all marine life?

Lahaina used to be a wetland
Nature didn't turn the historic Hawaiian community into a tinderbox. People did: As the world’s eyes fixed on the community, Ing said Lahaina’s pre-colonial history is particularly important for people to know—not just for the sake of Lahaina’s Native residents, but bc it reveals the deeply unnatural roots of this so-called “natural” disaster. It was only because of colonization & CC that it became a tinderbox🚨. #ActOnClimate #ClimateEmegency https://heated.world/p/lahaina-used-to-be-wetland?r=bqkj&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

@CodeRedTO Two Monterey County natives, currently profs at Tulane University — Louis https://liberalarts.tulane.edu/departments/philosophy/people/louis-gularte and Micaela https://liberalarts.tulane.edu/programs/religious-studies — take train both ways on trips home. Besides reducing carbon emissions, they enjoy getting a lot of work done on the train.

Apocalyptic: lives, livelihoods, & paradise gone: Unmanaged non-native grasslands that proliferated with the shuttering of the HI’s plantation economy over the past several decades created lots of fuel... Dry season & >1/3 of Maui Co is in drought. W Maui is the dry side of the isle +an El Niño yr -strong winds +low humidity... CC is expected to bring more drought & stronger, more frequent storms. Wildfires just destroyed Lahaina. Next year could be worse🚨. #ActOnClimate https://grist.org/wildfires/wildfires-just-destroyed-a-maui-town-next-year-could-be-worse/

A dam in southern Norway partially burst Wednesday following days of heavy rain that triggered landslides & flooding in the mountainous region & forced downstream communities to evacuate, officials said. Authorities initially considered blowing up part of the dam at the Braskereidfoss hydroelectric power plant to prevent communities from being inundated. But the idea was scrapped after water later broke through the structure. #ClimateCrisis #ActOnClimate https://www.timescolonist.com/world-news/dam-in-norway-partially-bursts-after-days-of-heavy-rain-flooding-and-evacuations-7383611??utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=snd
