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.

Line graph shows levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide over the past 800,000 years. After a steady and predictable range of ups and downs, suddenly in the past century the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere shot off the charts.


Chart showing "Monthly averages of atmospheric CO2 as recorded at Mauna Loa in Hawaii."

Amounts of CO2 rapidly climb from ~325 ppm in 1960 to ~418 ppm in 2020. 

Graphic also notes when various meetings were held and agreements were made to limit or reduce carbon emissions. None of this has had any effect.



This article is sickening to read. It perfectly encapsulates the disgusting horror of consumer capitalism at its very worst while presenting the stark difference in reality between the Global North and South.
