The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years.

CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years.

But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kids’ futures.

Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.
Mind blowing that millions & millions of people have been born, lived their entire lives, & died without ever realising that the man-made system they mistakenly believe is the real world is actually the very thing destroying it.

Our kids aren’t gonna have that luxury.

The red lines will only get higher: 1.7C likely by 2027, 2C in years, 3C then 4C in our kids’ lifetimes.

Weather events will spiral. Our economy, food system & society will fall. Billions will die. & all we have to do to make sure this happens is keep on doing what we’re doing.

3 year average temp above 1.5C.

1.7C predicted for 2027.

Risk assessors, insurers & scientists warn of imminent economic derailment & billions of deaths.

Weird that The Guardian don’t mention any of this in their economic outlook for 2026.

“Mum, dad, what did you do when CO2 levels were higher than they’d been in millions of years?

When the world was hotter than it’d been in 125,000 years?

When scientists warned of 3C by 2050, & risk assessors said this would cause societal collapse & kill 4 billion people?”

When you’ve been brainwashed by an ideology you forget that there are other ways to live - ideologies that don’t cause global ecosystem & societal collapse killing billions of people.

Scientists tell us we’re headed for 2C in years, 3C in decades, 4C in our kids’ lifetimes.

Insurers tell us our world is becoming uninsurable.

Actuaries tell us the economy will collapse & billions will be killed.

Corporate-owned politics & media tell us to carry on as normal.

Without insurance our society will collapse.

Merry Christmas.

Let’s take a breath, but the gift our kids need from us isn’t under the tree, it’s us fighting to end the system doing this to their futures.

Our lives are meaningless if we’re not prepared to do all we can to stop our families slamming into this wall.

According to those climate fanatics at the UK’s Institute & Faculty of Actuaries, 3C by 2050 means 4 BILLION DEATHS.

Half the world’s population murdered within decades to serve an economic system that is destined for catastrophic collapse.

Make it make fucking sense.

The people doing this to our world are building bunkers.

Time to wake up & get furious.

Until maybe 2026 & 2027…

Though AMOC collapse would cool things down a bit.

Either way, climate extremes are the new normal, yet we keep on electing governments intent on building runways, blighting nature & appeasing billionaires right up to the collapse they know is coming.

Net Zero is little more than greenwash.

And now that neoliberal ‘centrism’ has successfully paved the way for neoliberal authoritarianism, greenwash is no longer necessary.

The lesson?

Money will always trump our children’s futures until this system is ripped to pieces.

When my son was 1 world leaders pledged to keep warming below 1.5C.

By the time he’s 13 we’re likely to hit a yearly average of 1.7C.

A childhood defined by corporate greed, political corruption, media complicity & public apathy.

The Great Betrayal.

If they knew the truth, all our kids would want for Christmas is for their mums & dads to come together & end the fossil-fueled system doing this to their future.

THERE IS SO MUCH WORK TO DO!

Governments should be subsidizing jobs that build rich, resilient, sustainable communities where our children can thrive.

Yet they’re subsidizing planet devouring industries thst rob our children of a future & make billionaires even richer.

Do things just feel a bit… ‘off’?

Might be because the last three years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years, & you live within a system that exists solely to enrich shareholders by making the planet even hotter.

Morrisons is owned by Clayton Dubilier & Rice, a shady private equity firm with $BILLIONS$ tied to fossil fuel.

We’re being greenwashed into extinction so psychopathic corporations can enrich shareholders right up to the collapse they’re knowingly causing.

The system is suicide.

Most of the jobs we do to provide a future for our children exist to perpetuate a system that is on track to decimate that future.

Seems like a recipe for widespread mental health collapse.
