    This is The Ecological Emergency as explained by 20,000 scientists. This isn't alarmism, we really are on the brink. Will you do something to help? Explain this reality to your parents and teachers, and demand they help you to do something!!

  2. Scientists accept that humans stand no chance of staying below 2C of warming. Half of humanity (4 billion humans) and all animal & plant life in their vicinity will soon be exposed to at least 20 days of *deadly* heat extremes a year. (well before 2100!)

  3. Heat waves with levels of heat and humidity that *exceed what humans can survive without protection* could hit over 1.5 billion people in South Asia within a few decades. ⚠️ Or even by 2029 if we hit 2C that early.

  4. 50% of the global population will face exposure to severe heatwaves at least once 'every 20 years' at 1.5°C. Staggering to think that 4 billion people will have a genuine reason to fear such extreme heat so soon.

  5. By 2025, half of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed areas⚠️: Today, 50% of people suffer severe water *scarcity*. 🔺3.3 billion: at least 3 months Imagine food production difficulties! How will this improve?

  6. 2019 Most people live in countries facing medium-high to extreme water stress. UN: 🔺1.8 billion people in regions of absolute water scarcity by 2025 🔺4 billion in high water stress areas by end of 2020s Probably worse than this.

  7. Average global temperature will have risen considerably in 6 years time - we're set to hit catastrophic 1.5C by 2026: 'The analysis assumes that little or no action is taken to reduce emissions'. ⚠️ There is no sign of even moderate action happening soon.

  8. By 2026, most of humanity will: 1. live with severe water stress 2. fear unprecedented heatwaves 3. be at risk from deadly diseases 4. be affected by extreme weather 5. suffer hunger/famine/starvation 6. consider relocating due to climate No, this couldn't be true. Could it?

  9. 'With habitat loss, climate change and human exploitation, newly-described plants could very well have higher rates of extinction, and some could even disappear before we know they exist.'

  10. 'They provide the oxygen we breathe and the food we eat, as well as making up the backbone of the world’s ecosystems – so plant extinction is bad news for all species'.

  11. Plant extinction is bad news for all species, said Dr Eimear Nic Lughadha. Plant extinctions can lead to a whole cascade of extinctions in other organisms that rely on them, for instance insects that use plants for food and for laying their eggs.

  12. 'overconsumption is the root cause of the destruction of nature, leading to rainforests being clearcut and rising carbon emissions'. Overconsumption by a wealthy minority, in an economic system based on overconsumption by a wealthy minority.

  13. Human pollinators: 'Pesticide use has led to a drastic reduction in the area’s bee population, threatening the fruit crop. Workers now pollinate fruit trees artificially, carefully transferring pollen from male flowers to female flowers to fertilize them.'

  14. Pollinators: 1. Bees 2. Birds 3. Butterflies 4. Beetles 5. Bats 6. Moths 7. Hoverflies 8. Mosquitoes 9. Wasps 10. Ants 11. Flies 12. Monkeys 13. Lemurs 14. Possums 15. Rodents 16. Lizards 17. Humans These pollinators are not all officially critically endangered. 🐝

  15. Up to 50% of global bee species may be threatened with extinction: 'a variety of agricultural practices are contributing to steep declines in key pollinating species' Population decline would be catastrophic enough.

  16. Extinction: 40% of invertebrate pollinator species (bees, butterflies) and 16% of vertebrate pollinators (bats & birds) are threatened with extinction. ⚠️ The causes: 🔺pesticides 🔺habitat loss due to development 🔺pathogens 🔺global warming From 2016:

  17. 83% decline in earthworm biomass under industrial agricultural methods (tillage and chemical fertilizers) as compared to agroecological methods. Earthworm numbers dwindle, threatening soil health. Herbicides - have negative impacts.
