What we do now will be the difference!

We’ve made a mess of this planet and we need to stop thinking it’s not our problem, that it’s up for debate or it’s just too hard to fix. Sticking our heads in the sand or thinking it’s up to the tree huggers just isn’t an option anymore.

Everybody keeps saying that climate change is an existential threat & the most important issue of all & yet they carry on just like before.

In this passionate call to action, 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg explains why, in August 2018, she walked out of school and organized a strike to raise awareness of global warming, protesting outside the Swedish parliament and grabbing the world’s attention. “The climate crisis has already been solved. We already have all the facts and solutions,”

When a child is doing the job of someone in power, we need to re-think who is in power.

There has never been a period like this in the history of humanity. In a sweeping report delivered by Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), the world’s top scientists warned that up to a million species could go extinct in the next few decades.

THERE ARE UP TO 200 SPECIES GOING EXTINCT EVERY FUCKING DAY

There are an estimated 8 million species of plants and animals on Earth. Amphibians are among the hardest hit by human activities with an estimated 40 percent under threat. But no groups of plants or animals are in the clear. The report warns a million could be wiped out if humanity keeps delivering blows to nature.

Overall, humans have now directly altered three-quarters of the globe and the rate of global extinction is estimated to be hundreds of times higher now than at any prior moment in human history.

These declines mean the world is almost certain to miss meeting biodiversity targets set up by the United Nations.

With the global population at 7 billion & set to rise to 9 billion by 2050 we seriously need to make some massive changes or else we are all simply fucked! The report definitively shows that inaction is no longer an option and time is running out to avert the worst impacts of biodiversity loss.

Now it’s up to us to speak up & pressure the policymakers to take the report’s findings & implement the solutions.
