One is a billionaire who is selling all of his books, the other one is a quite-broke human who has the courage and decency to provide her book online for free. Trade-Free. No ads, no data collection, no subscribe-here-to-read bullshit.
That's the world in which we live. The ones who make a fortune are trained and incentivized to not even share their "must read" books for free, despite having so much wealth.
Oh look, Bill Gates released a book about "How to Avoid a Climate Disaster"! It must be important.... so it is worth 18$ to read.
Grab @Sasha 's book from here https://www.bigworldsmallsasha.com/book/ - she also talks a lot about Climate Change, solutions, and a new kind of worldview.

Global #warming has exceeded 1.5C across an entire year for the first time.
source: https://plantbasednews.org/news/environment/worlds-first-year-long-breach-limit/
This year-long breach does not mean that the world has broken the #Paris #Climate #Agreement #limit, but it does bring it closer to doing so in the longer term. The 1.5C limit is a legally binding 2015 treaty with 195 signatories to set out a path for dealing with climate change.

Do the right thing.
It may not always be clear at first what the right thing is. For example, recycling is fairly easy but accomplishes much less than something more difficult such as changing your diet or giving up your car.
Learn the differences, and do the right thing. 🤗

Expedia CEO Peter Kern has led the online travel agency for three years, from its pandemic nadir to the post-COVID surge in travel. With that experience, one trend he says he doesn’t see changing anytime soon is people traveling like there’s no tomorrow. What’s more, he says, people talk a good talk about climate change angst but are not modifying their behavior much

“Net Zero by 2050" Get the Joke? - Lannie Rose - Medium

The priority should therefore not be to replace every car with its electric equivalent but rather to rethink mobility in general
It’s true that fully electric vehicles do not emit waste products but the batteries that supply energy to the vehicle are made of minerals like lithium and cobalt which have an impact on climate change.
And those mines have incredible environmental and health impacts in the places that they exist

Why tech companies are wrong to think electric cars are a solution to climate change
To fight climate change, carmakers want to sell us ever more technological and ecological vehicles. For Paris Marx, this approach is wrong.Thomas Duthois (Euronews.com)
This is not planet Earth as we found it. The world we’ve known all our lives is vanishing in front of our eyes.
Human civilization was built upon the certainty of a stable, predictable climate allowing consistently reliable agriculture producing decade after decade of steady economic growth and allowing huge, thriving coastal cities.
But now we're seeing what happens when human industry pumps a *trillion* tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in only a few decades, when we warm the oceans to levels never seen before, and when we threaten the survival of everything that makes our lives possible.
The past is gone. Continue to hope and work for the best, but *prepare* for the worst.

In what is already one of the most expensive states in the US, the #climate emergency is driving up the cost of living. Extreme #weather, #drought and drastic swings in temperature, all fueled by global heating, are affecting utility costs and #insurance premiums, exacerbating housing shortages and causing food prices to go up.

…of billionaires to wreck a planet.
They don’t need to have a majority, or anything even close to a plurality. All it takes is a few thousand sociopathic billionaires — the population of a village — to take full control of everything and then completely ruin our livable biosphere while further enriching themselves.
The scale on the image below is NOT exaggerated. In less than two centuries, and especially just within the last 30 years, capitalist oligarchs have burned so much coal, oil, and gas that our climate system simply can’t handle it.
It’s almost out of control now. But the people who are to blame have names and addresses.

Fossil fuels are impoverishing us
IPCC released another climate report. How dire a warning must there be for us to do something about global climate change?cayala (The Hill)
TITLE -- "Biodiversity: State of Emergency"
Key points:
◘ By 2050, 38-46% of animal and plant species could be wiped out from the planet.
◘ Of particular concern are Central and South America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia, which are more vulnerable to soil impoverishment.
◘ Within 30 years, the number of people living in arid regions could rise from 2.7 to 4 billion, increasing the risk of migration crises.
◘ Land degradation and climate change, leading to declining crop yields and social and economic instability, are likely to force 50-700 million people to migrate by the middle of the century.
