Some facts for you that will affect every last living and non- living thing on this planet:
“That so many feel already acclimated to the prospect of a near-future world with dramatically higher oceans should be as dispiriting and disconcerting as if we’d already come to accept the inevitability it extended nuclear war- because that is the scale of devastation the rising oceans will bring.”
“Every return flight from London to New York costs the Arctic 3 metres squared of ice.”
“For every half degree of warming, societies see a 10-20% increase in the likelihood of armed conflict”
“Global plastic production is expected to triple by 2050, by which point there will be more plastic than fish in the oceans.”
WE AREN’T STOPPING THIS EITHER:
“We are now burning 80% more coal than we were just in the year 2000”
“The big problem is the must caster number of people and governments who acknowledge the true scale of of the problem, and still act as if it’s not happening.”
BUT WE HAVE THE POWER TO AVOID THE WORST OF WHAT’S TO COME:
“A carbon tax and the political apparatus to aggressively phase out dirty energy; a new approach to agricultural practices and a shift away from beef and dairy in the global diet; and public investment in green energy and carbon capture”
These are all relatively straightforward to put in place, but we need governments to help, and they’re not going to listen unless we kick up a hullabaloo with protests in every way shape and form.
The Youth Strikes for Climate are taking place globally- so attend your nearest one in support. See fridaysforfuture.org, or if your from the uk, the picture below, for your nearest strike. Anyone can attend, just remember it is the youth leading the strike so if you attend as an adult come in support of the youth, not with your own agenda. Remember- it is the youngest generations who are most likely to suffer most from the impacts.
Shout about it on social media and to all your friends and colleagues.
Write to your MP or local government representative about it.
Don’t ever be silent until we have done worldwide all we can do to prevent major catastrophe.
