Remember:

1. Global crop failures by 2°C.
2. Most humans dead by 4°C.
3. Earth uninhabitable by 6°C.
4. We risk 2°C by 2035.
5. We risk 4°C by 2065.
6. We risk 6°C by 2095.

One tweet is worth a million newspaper front pages.
1. It will never be too late to try to limit the damage/suffering of the expanding ecological-climate catastrophe by challenging media silence, destructlive growth & short-term profit maximization.

We need economic system change action now to avoid 3-4C by 2050-2100.

2. & #39;Risks of simultaneous crop failure.. increase disproportionately between 1.5 and 2°C& #39;

Over 1.5°C represents & #39;a threat to global food security& #39;

3. Meta-analysis: 70% of studies show declines in crop yields by the 2030s (half indicate 10–50% declines):

We">https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a... are in the danger zone.

2°C will hit as early as 2034-2038 without stunning emissions cuts towards zero in the 2020s. https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-when-might-the-world-exceed-1-5c-and-2c-of-global-warming/amp">https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-...
4. Scientists still hope to stay below 2.5C but it would take a & #39;herculean effort& #39; to avoid 4C, at which point & #39;mass death& #39; would be likely:

5. This recent study confirms 3-4°C looks increasingly likely by 2050-2100 as emissions continue to rise, and that >5C by the end of the century is beyond catastrophic for humanity, and entirely possible.

We must change everything to protect everybody. https://twitter.com/ClimateBen/status/1328646414856040450?s=20">https://twitter.com/ClimateBe...
6. This is tough information to take in. I feel better when I try to take action to support the Climate Justice Movement which has known for decades that capitalism must be transformed and replaced for decent survival. Individual-collective action is possible. Keep going.
7. Just to add, here& #39;s a thread full of key info on parts per million of CO2 (ppm) in the atmosphere and & #39;CO2-e& #39; which includes all greenhouse gases and forcings. The thread has two more sources on 5-6°C being enough to make the planet uninhabitable. https://twitter.com/ClimateBen/status/1373558190894366723?s=20">https://twitter.com/ClimateBe...
8. Because the statements in the tweet are so extraordinary, I have to concentrate on extensive explanatory details which back them up as convincingly as possible in the thread.

It& #39;s also important to suggest actions, so here is a thread of ideas: https://twitter.com/ClimateBen/status/1386200536232386568?s=20">https://twitter.com/ClimateBe...
