Wow How stupid is humanity Extinction stupid
-
💯! Smart enough to see the cliff. Stupid enough to keep accelerating.🤬🌎
-
This truly makes me sick to my stomach. Destruction of trees is so horrific. I can't watch or listen to one being chopped down. I adore trees. They're magical. 💔
-
None of that is true. El Niño HAS started, although it hasn't yet reached full strength, and there is no 'edge' beyond which the climate is 'beyond repair'. There's everything to fight for, every fraction of a degree matters. Doomerism is as much an enemy of the planet as climate denialism.
-
Unfortunately we passed the edge this year. Our climate now is beyond repair. And El Niño hasn’t even started.
-
Reminded me of the Haiti/Dominican Republic border ugliness.

Maniacal governments, incompetent leaders, religious fanatics, compromised lawmakers, greed, climate change, AI… what could go wrong?
-
Brazil … you can stop it . It’s not about feeding yourself or the world, it’s about short term greed for a few. The good that nature gave you , has been taken away by those few. We are all connected, and we as a people need to change. Otherwise, we cease to exist . Stand up Do your part 
-
There is no planet B. Not even for billionaires.
-
The shit for brains regime here wants to clear our old growth forests THAT WILL NOT REGENERATE. Turnip's EO says killing endangered species is no longer a concern. I say we send all these miscreants to a few states and wall them off. They are unsuitable for society.
-
This planet is our mistress, our master. We act the fool, we think we control her? Can use her anyway we wish. She can snuff the human race out, reboot the planet and start over. How many times has she done this? Time don't mean a damn thing to her.
-
Shocking. Humans are locusts, we swarm and we destroy.
-
PEOPLE ARE MORONS! They choose not to listen to scientists. Making money is much more important! Humans have known about the destruction humans cause for several decades, but have continued with the same behaviors. Americans elected a complete FOOL who thinks coal is great.
-
The Amazon = the lungs of the planet. Question: Can you live without YOUR lungs?
-
It's being cut down to plant palm oil plantations (to sell to junk food manufacturers) & to create more area for beef production. Also, for biofuel. Please check grocery item labels for palm oil & don't buy. Please reduce or eliminate beef from your diet. You can help with reducing the damage. 💙🌍

And forever wars!🤬 What could possibly go wrong? 🤬 Apparently, we're determined to find out—with humanity strapped to the hood.🤬🌎
-
🔥Heat records shattered 🌊 Seas rising 🔥 Wildfires 🧊 Ice disappearing 🌳 Amazon near tipping point 🌪️ Extreme weather 💧 Water supplies under pressure 🌾 Food systems vulnerability 🐝 Ecosystems collapsing It's a countdown to the future apocalypse. We can still change the trajectory. Act NOW & save 🌎!🙏🇨🇦

Haiti is fucked all because of some French debt? Generationally fucked because of something great grandpa did?
-
We had a fire 8 years ago in my country, biggest one yet and it took our biggest forest. It took them 6 years to start replating. With all the voluntary work organization did, it was not enough without support. Now, every year we have a huge storm that destroys all trees and stops regrowth.
-
Wrong question. The right one is: Do we have the will? Many people don't see or understand the problem, partly due to poor communication. Many more can't afford to care. Corporate interests care only about money. Politicians only care about money & votes; trees don't vote.
-
The rainforest used to be known as the lungs of the earth, so vast they would control certain weather patterns. perhaps this is the main reason why the rain is dropping in different places and the weather patterns have been so messed up.
-
Trump will buy more meat just ensure more forest is cleared -surprised he hasn’t made a joke about that yet
-
Folks who are aware of this but not vegan blow my mind! What exactly are you waiting for?
-
The world needs to shift to a plant based diet if we expect to survive.Animal products R unsustainable&also horrific for human health.Most of all, they cause immense torture,abuse,pain&suffering to the innocent animals who did nothing to deserve the torture.We treat baby rapers better than animals.
