Forest fires.
Floods.
Rising seas.
Extreme weather events.
Decimation of pollinators. Famine.
The sixth mass extinction.
Disappearance of coastlines, river communities, islands.
Forced climate-related migration.
We’ve had reliable data for 50 years, with timeline acceleration the only significant change, yet global leaders, capitalists, oligarchs, political lackeys & the terminally stupid drag their collective feet.

@kalpik this is a bad faith argument though. You're assuming (or don't care) that your continued high emissions aren't destroying the biosphere and you're entitled to the easiest trip available as you dont want to be inconvenienced. This reminds me of this quote about slave ownership. #ClinateEmergency #ClimateCrisis
"Would any one believe that I am master of slaves by my own purchase? I am drawn along by the general inconvenience of living without them. I will not — I cannot justify it, however culpable my conduct". - John Patrick Henry US Founding father

Is the future of transport electric? We have to do everything, and fast
"Only by curbing all motorized transport, particularly private cars, as quickly as possibly can we tackle the climate and air pollution crises—or so my colleague and friend Jillian Anable and I argue in a chapter of Greta Thunberg's recently published The Climate Book."
