I learned to ski when I was 6 in the glory of the snowy Alps.
Now a resort in France has been dismantled because there’s no snow left. The villagers who built the lifts by hand stood crying as they were cut down.

One Australian gas project — just one — will cause 0.00039°C of extra global heating.
That’s 516,000 more people exposed to deadly heat.
Every project like this writes another thousand names onto humanity's mass grave.

Coral reefs are already gone, the Amazon is dying, and Atlantic circulation will follow.
The result? “Mass mortality and forced displacement become likely.”

Their female-led, cooperative societies challenge everything capitalism taught us about “survival of the fittest.”
Now they’re on the brink, and so are we.

Experts say it’s time to update the hurricane rating system. 🌪️⚠️
The 1–5 scale hides the real dangers — floods, blackouts, debris, and distance from help.

US wastewater treatment emits 47 million tonnes of CO₂ a year — as much as Hungary or Ecuador.
A Nature Water study found methane and nitrous oxide emissions 41% higher than government estimates.
Even our sewage systems are heating the planet.

Here’s my friend, a sewing rebel in the truest sense — stitching resistance into fabric.

UK seas boiled in 2023 — 2.9°C above normal for over two weeks. 🌊🔥
Scientists say it was “unprecedented, but not unexpected” — a 1-in-10 yearly event in today’s climate.
The ocean is losing its balance, and with it, so are we.

Not all “green” solutions are saving us. 🌲⚠️
A new Nature Communications study found many carbon removal projects fail or even worsen warming — 1 in 8 darken the Earth’s surface, trapping more heat. Half deliver less than promised.
Climate action can’t be a PR stunt. We must stop fossil fuels!
