Mass media refuse to report that scientists fear the current economic system won't prevent extinction catastrophe and water & food insecurity horrors for billions by the 2030s. 🧵

1. A food crisis already threatens a record number of people around the world with more than 1/3 of a billion at acute levels of hunger and nearly 50 million people on the brink of famine.
Climate is just one factor.

2. We can expect 1.5/2°C of global warming by the 2030s.

Climate is just one factor.
1.5C: 1.5 billion face moderate/high levels of risk in 2 or more of the water, energy, food & environment sectors
2C: 2.7 billion
3C: 4.6 billion

3. Economic growth means 1.75/2.25°C by the 2030s/2040s/2050s looks more or less unavoidable.
1.5°C and rising implies a planetary catastrophe of (mass) extinction. Ecosystem collapse is already underway.
A rapid shift to >2°C is expected.
System change!

The rate of climate change could soon exceed 0.4°C per decade which would quickly destroy all ecosystems.

Expect "faster than expected", like all climate-breakdown related? Some suggest the looming El Niño might temporarily raise the global mean temp to +1.5°C. I don't understand the "temporarily" bit, because with feedbacks kicking in where is the cooling effect gonna come from?

You are contradicting yourself, 2C of warming will increase the growing period in all the northern hemisphere so if there is food shortages then warming is what we need

Additional CO2 in atmosphere has boosted farm yields over past four decades. It is most beneficial in hot, arid climates, where subsistent agriculture is practiced, such as in the Sahel.
