Probably as much as anyone needs to grasp halfway through the 2020s, as world hurtles ever faster towards the ecological abyss. Could we have saved ourselves? Who knows. To be honest, we never even tried.

North Pacific marine heatwaves – made more likely by climate change – blamed for the loss of 10 billion snow crabs. https://t.co/yEpvP2o83a Even abundant species can suffer catastrophic mass mortality if environmental conditions are pushed beyond the limits they are adapted to.

Storm Babet is already causing havoc in Ireland. There is a risk to life in places - residents of Brechin in Scotland have been told to fully evacuate. Heartbreaking.

Denmark, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands plan to build four artificial islands to quadruple offshore wind in the North Sea – the equivalent of 30 nuclear reactors. We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

We’re told that capitalism is all about innovation. But capital does not invest in innovations that are not profitable, even if they would dramatically improve well-being and ecology. The quality of innovation could be dramatically improved in a post-capitalist economy.

More proof that @Telegraph no longer just publishes news but also promotes propaganda. This current bout of inflation was triggered by eye-watering increases in the cost of natural gas following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The newspaper’s misinformation campaign helps Putin.

This ecocide as a continuation of Russias unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine is yet another atrocity which leaves the world lost for words. Our eyes are once again on Russia who must be held accountable for their crimes.
Russia blew up Ukraine’s Kakhovka dam wrecking havoc on civilians and the environment downstream on the Dnipro river. Russia’s army was squandered in Ukraine, so it chose to employ water as a weapon. However, this will only increase Ukraine's resolve to drive them off our soil.

If you are still mad at climate protesters, I'm not sure what to tell you. "Climate Crisis Is on Track to Push One-Third of Humanity Out of Its Most Livable Environment" https://t.co/pM7Ohjls83

Sustainable? How about calling time on unnecessary & extraordinarily polluting private jets? 😜 Rewarding sustainability is an important step nevertheless.
Do you have an idea for sustainable aviation? @WISA_UW will support up to $50,000, deadline May 15. Details: https://t.co/oMdbdwAD2P

And that's why we can't afford greenwashed neoliberalism. We can't afford the same old, same old approach of privileging those at the top of the pyramid of wealth—nationally or globally.

#ClimateChange is about consumption of the very richest people in our global society. 50% of global emissions are emitted by just 10% of the population. 90% of global emissions by 50% of the population. We need to recognise climate justice to save our planet
