Prof Stefan Rahmstorf says the chances of a shutdown look like “more than 50%”. We could pass the tipping point, he says, “in the middle of this century”.

So why is this not all over the news? Why is it not the top priority for the governments that claim to protect us from harm? Well, in large part because oligarchic power has championed a model of #climate impact that bears little relation to reality (..)

A catastrophic climate event is upon us. Here is why you’ve heard so little about it

Scientists say a crucial Atlantic system is set to collapse. But the billionaire death cult that steers humanity’s destiny just doesn’t do existential crises, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The Guardian
(.) A billionaire death cult has its fingers around humanity’s throat. It both causes and downplays our existential crisis. The oligarchs are not just a class enemy but, as they have always been, a societal enemy: a few thousand people can destroy civilisations. It’s the billions v the billionaires, and the stakes could not possibly be higher.

@IngridHbn Than we shall have to cut their grasping, choking fingers off of our necks.

The answer to a billionaire death cult's demand "let them drink sea water" is the same as the answer when the French monarchy was thought to have said "let them eat cake!"
