1. 'COP15 aims to achieve an historic agreement to halt and reverse nature loss, on par with the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. What is adopted in Montreal will essentially be a global blueprint to save the planet’s dwindling biodiversity.'

2. It's not just 1.5°C. Emissions are rising as capitalism ends the world by creating a 2/2.5°C global warming hell on Earth.
Emissions should have peaked immediately this year (2020 - 2025) to avoid 1.5C, 2°C, or 2.5°C.
A few scientists remain hopeful..

3. 'Environmentalists have compared the accord to the landmark plan to limit global warming to 1.5C under the Paris agreement, though some earlier warned that it did not go far enough'
Only economic system change may limit the damage.

4. Here is the stark reality:

The historic 30x30 agreement is based on an unscientific and racist logic and is the worse possible outcome from #COP15, argues @LongoFiore. africanarguments.org/2022/12/why-30

5. It's no coincidence that corporations like Shell and Nestlé are happy with the 30x30 UN deal. Indigenous peoples and local communities flourish alongside and in harmony with species; big business can pnly mean extinctions and ecosystem collapse.

Confirmation from a highly knowledgeable climate scientist:
Yes, emissions must peak immediately (2020- 2025) for 1.5C, 2C, and even 2.5C.
The IEA projection doesn't include land use change so a peak of total emissions by 2023/2024 isn't impossible.

8. Climate change is about to increase extinction risk enormously, but the whole global economy of industrial agriculture and deforestation, logging, pesticides, pollution, etc, is what is destroying biodiversity.

60% of primate species are threatened with extinction, 75% are declining.
Main threat: habitat destruction due to logging/agriculture.
Hunting, road construction, oil & gas extraction, mining, pollution, disease, and climate change are also key threats. theconversation.com/60-of-primate-

9. It will only take a few years of 2°C to create impossible conditions for countless species and ecosystems.
Industrial capitalism is ending the world.
We can, of course, still try to limit the damage by organising for economic system change.

3. This is one of the most horrific pictures of likely future warming I've seen. What makes it worse is that the idea of overshooting a given temperature target and then quickly coming back down again is such a fantasy.

10. We can take action to shift away from the current destructive high energy economy.

We can't build our way out of global ecosystem catastrophe. So how about a 10 year slowdown? Shift rapidly away from today's ultra-destructive, high energy, high emissions global economy? Give societies time & incentive to create local supply chains? Let vital species flourish?

If shell and nestle are happy with the deal, it means that they will be able to continue business as usual, which is not good for planet, biodiversity, or indigenous people.
