Climate Change Is Killing Languages

Forced migration is a major cause of language extinction. Environmental disasters are driving these displacements in the very regions richest in languages.

- Deliver the $100bn promised to the most vulnerable countries, with additional funds for #ClimateDisasters.

- Enact climate policies that protect workers and the most vulnerable, and reduce all forms of #inequality.

We can still do this. There is still time to avoid the worst #consequences if we are prepared to change. It will take determined, visionary #leadership.

Joe Biden must declare a climate emergency. And he must do so now

Biden had the last opportunity of any president to keep the world under 1.5C of heating. Instead he is squandering time we do not have.

It's true that the daily drumbeat of disasters is numbing. We humans are not great at responding to problems on this scale, or delaying near-term gratification to ensure long-term security. I don't know what the answer is. #climatedisasters #climatechange https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/10/climate/climate-change-extreme-weather.html

Why so much misinformation and bonkers conspiracy theories around Canada's wildfires:

"It’s a huge problem — the existential challenge of our times. The urge to turn it into a fantastical but simple tale that has a beginning, middle and end, an obvious villain and a clear-cut spark is understandable. But these tales are just a smokescreen, distracting from the growing number of smoke signals from communities across the country desperate for serious climate action."

“toxic, system-justifying identity politics.”

Humans are intelligent enough to create things that at ome point in time - seemed impossible. Humans can help slow down impacts of #ClimateDisasters too - if they care enough to do join the fights against governments working with corporations who are OK KILLING US FOR PROFITS.

“As #disasters have grown, this workforce has grown. And these #workers, imported to clean up after #climatedisasters, since the #Second functions as a well #deregulated militia, do all this without #legalprotections, without legal status,” says Soni, a longtime labor organizer and the director of Resilience Force, that advocates for #ImmigrantWorkers.

People with physical #disabilities (those suffering from muscular and neurological diseases with cardiovascular issues and para- and tetraplegic) and the #elderly are going to be most likely affected by rising global temperatures and extreme #weather events (like the one in the #AhrValley in #Germany or huge #forestFires throughout #Europe) due to the soon no longer avoidable #climateDisasters, also because they cannot flee so easily. That's exactly why I'm fighting against #climateChange. 💚
