Hey #booksky #booklovers!
Did any of you get an e-reader for Christmas? 📖
Do you know anyone who did? 🎁
Wondering what to read that's a bit different? 🤔
10:59 is still only 99p and FREE on Kindle Unlimited! 😃

Spotting these bird prints conjured a lovely image of 2 neighbours stopping for a quick chat...
Tit: Hey! How are ya?
Finch: Good thanks! You?
Tit: Yeah. Cold enough for ya?
Finch: I'll say! The missus accused me of getting fat. I told her, I'm just fluffed up!
Tit: Haha, you & me both, mate.

Our environment is rapidly deteriorating as politicians increasingly deprioritize action in favor of short-term nationalist interests. Past predictions that we are heading for global societal collapse suddenly don’t seem that unlikely. Is there still hope?

Are the End Times upon us? Can we still chart a better path?
Our environment is deteriorating fast while political leaders are pursuing short-term nationalist interests. Are we near collapse and is there still hope?

We're watching an increasingly deranged bully retaliate & threaten over any perceived slight to his insatiable ego.
This one man could all too easily lead the world to war. And anyone who survives to pick up the pieces will know that those who saw it coming and who could have stopped him... didn't.

What I’ve learned since I did this post over a year ago has led me to conclude that microplastics ARE unquestionably a greater threat to complex life on Earth than climate change.
Roughly 2/3 of all microplastics are generated from clothes and tires. Microplastics may be an even greater threat to complex life on Earth than climate change. 🙁

Car tyres shed a quarter of all microplastics in the environment – urgent action is needed
Tiny flakes of plastic, generated by the wear and tear of normal driving, eventually accumulate in the soil, in rivers and lakes, and even in our food.

We've added 4.2 million new humans since 01.01.2026 🎉
A single human needs 1,000-4,000m2 for #food depending on diet (vegan to Standard American Diet).
4.2 million X 2,000m2 = 8,330 km2 or 833,000 ha in 19 days.
There isn't much primary #forest left and yet we break new deforestation records.

The more his unchecked power goes to his head and the further he descends into madness, corruption and senility, the question becomes: how far will he be allowed to go and how long will this be allowed to continue before those in a position to stop him say "enough"? It's already too far & too long.

Hundreds of thousands of species are already gone.
Millions more are in the extinction pipeline.
Sophia Pineda Ochoa’s new documentary “Greenwashed” exposes that truth with rare honesty.

So, are we going to aid & abet the fossil fuel industries & the capitalist billionaires to keep lining their pockets today? Or are we going to take action to ensure that our children have a habitable planet tomorrow? This isn't alarmist journalism. This is what it all boils down to. Time to choose.
Fun fact: This latest UN report doesn't just confirm overpopulation as the main driver of destruction (like the IPCC did in 2022).
It also uses the term "inevitable collapse" three times.

Is this a serious question? Access to birth control works but we deny and do not acknowledge & accept the predicament.
Lyle has no children despite wanting some. 1st step: Be honest.
"All the environmental crises were worsening as the global population grows and required more food and energy"

Humans kill 100m sharks every year. 73% have their fins chopped off & are thrown back into the sea to die slowly & painfully. Wtf is wrong with us? 🤬
"Mankind"... what an oxymoron. Let's hope there are some other species left when our reign of terror on Earth comes to a messy and inglorious end.

Seems to me that every year the outcomes of COP are the same: disappointment & no meaningful changes. What's the point? How do we re-think the conference & switch things up a gear? Why do our world leaders care so little that tipping points are being passed? Should it be renamed COP-out???

COP30 overpromised, underdelivered, empowered distractions, backtracked on issues and once again gave big oil and big ag a free pass.
Unfortunately, the suspicions of climate scientists (here in Brazil and abroad) were confirmed again.
