The State of the Cryosphere Report 2024 warns that on a trajectory toward 3°C of warming, many regions will experience sea level rise and water resource loss beyond adaptation limits this century.

Geoengineering is not a plan. Decarbonisation is.

The 1960’s were traumatic on many levels…as were the Great Depression & WWII years. If we factor in #ClimateCrisis, however, your ranking may be correct.

An interesting perspective:
Our Civilization's Disease Has a Name: Windigo

"...A Silent Malignancy Feeding on Itself

What makes this system so difficult to confront is that much of its violence is concealed. In earlier eras, domination was often direct and visible. Today it’s frequently structural, embedded in the normalized architecture of everyday life. The smartphone in your pocket carries within it the suffering of child miners and exhausted factory workers continents away. The tax havens of the ultra-rich quietly drain public wealth from schools, hospitals, and essential infrastructure. Land grabs displace traditional communities while luxury developments flourish in their place. Democracy itself is captured by networks of concentrated power that operate behind the reassuring language of governance and reform...."

Indigenous wisdom offers a diagnosis of what ails our world — and understanding it is the first step toward a cure.

IOWA FARMERS is as big a myth as “The Silent Majority”.

Wall Street and its capitalist cartels killed family farming. if family farmers aren’t indentured to banks thru mortgages, their land most likely is now owned by an investment group.

IOWA FARMERS is an euphemism for #ClimateCrisis #ecocide causing #FactoryFarming. the kind of farming that kills ecosystems and depends on #agrochemicals as the #petromafia depends on #oil

"IOWA FARMERS" IS CAPITALIST PROPAGANDA

State of the Global Climate 2025

WMO’s State of the Global Climate report 2025 confirms that 2015-2025 are the hottest 11-years on record, and that 2025 was the second or third hottest year on record, at about 1.43 °C above the 1850-1900 average. Extreme events around the world, including intense heat, heavy rainfall and tropical cyclones, caused disruption and devastation and highlighted the vulnerability of our inter-connected economies and societies.The ocean continues to warm and absorb carbon dioxide. It has been absorbing the equivalent of about eighteen times the annual human energy use each year for the past two decades. Annual sea ice extent in the Arctic was at or near a record low, Antarctic sea ice extent was the third lowest on record, and glacier melt continued unabated, according to the report.For the first time, the report includes the Earth’s energy imbalance as one of the key climate indicators.

Explosive New WMO Climate Report

The volume of #coal used by #china continues to grow even as the percentage of primary #energy declines.

China leads the world on renewables, but it's still addicted to burning rocks

Coal still accounts for 56 percent of its power, and new plants keep coming online.

However, according to FracTracker, it's actually $760 billion annually in subsidies, tax breaks, and unpriced externalities.

IMF estimates that global fossil fuel subsidies (incl unaccounted costs of climate change, pollution-related health issues, and environmental damage) reached $7 trillion in 2022, (U.S. share being 35% of the global total).

It will be sad to watch California be washed away first since they have put in so much more effort than the central states.
