“War and climate collapse are not separate disasters. They feed each other, locked in a cycle of destruction. Climate stress fuels conflict and conflict accelerates climate destruction. This is not just about emissions targets or energy policy. This is about survival.” #climatechaos #climatecollapse

Ever heard of hypochlorous acid? I hadn't either, but it might be just the thing you need to get through the next #pandemic (not to mention the current one). Great info from @jessicawildfire.bsky.social

This enthusiastic response is despite the fact that currently, rewilding land means giving up any chance of receiving farm subsidies. Can you imagine the huge uptake if farmers had the option of being paid to rewild, just they are to farm or grow tree plantations? Why is this STILL not happening??

We are reaching multiple climate tipping points. This is what it looks like. Note that we've already reached 560 ppm CO₂ equivalent (total greenhouse gas forcing of about +4 W/m² above 1750).

Another day witnessing the collapse of everything ... At 21.043°C, the global sea-surface temperature is now ranked officially as "gobsmacking bananas." This temperature is now less than 0.13°C from being in "uncharted territory." Stay tuned for more bananas!

Media needs to stop tap dancing around reality. No quotations are required around the word Nazi below. It IS a nazi salute. @theguardian.com Also, it's not a "controversial gesture." The sieg heil is a universally despised symbol of hate.
