“Here’s the truth about America:
Our country is racist.
Our economy is rigged.
Our health care system is broken.
Our government is controlled by corporations & billionaires.
And when you fight back and challenge the status quo you’re labeled “divisive.”
KEEP FIGHTING ANYWAY.”

Not only is it unacceptable to profit from the suffering of the non- rich, but it is also unacceptable to be the ones inflicting the suffering! - WOW

“Three Americans create enough carbon emissions to kill one person, study finds
The analysis draws on public health studies that conclude that for every 4,434 metric tons of CO2 produced, one person globally will die”
“We don't talk enough about how cutting consumption (especially in rich countries, like the United States) is a necessary part of cutting emissions. Here's an interesting analysis:
"The research, published in Nature Communications, illustrates the vast disparities in the emissions generated by people’s consumption in different countries around the world. While it takes just 3.5 Americans to create enough emissions in a lifetime to kill one person, it would take 25 Brazilians or 146 Nigerians to do the same, the paper found.
...
The measurement calculates the damage caused by a ton of emissions, factored with the ability to adapt to the changing climate."”

At +4C only 10% of the planets would survive – yeah, the richest 10%.
“Carbon emissions may continue to rise, the polar ice caps may continue to melt, crop yields may continue to decline, the world’s forests may continue to burn, coastal cities may continue to sink under rising seas and droughts may continue to wipe out fertile farmlands, but the messiahs of hope assure us that all will be right in the end. Only it won’t.” — Chris Hedges
“Yes, the Climate Crisis May Wipe out Six Billion People
Creator of the ‘ecological footprint’ on life and death in a world 4 C hotter.”
Jack Lindbald\Arctic news preface:
“Edging closer to reality. We are inexorably on track for an 80% culling, defining extinction, of hewmans and of all life on Gaia.
"Prominent climate scientist Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, director emeritus of Germany’s Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, argues that, in these circumstances “a trend towards ‘erring on the side of least drama’ has emerged” and “when the issue is the survival of civilization is at stake, conventional means of analysis may become useless.”
Exploring this argument, policy analysts David Spratt and Ian Dunlop conclude, “Climate policymaking for years has been cognitively dissonant, ‘a flagrant violation of reality.’ So it is unsurprising that there is a lack of understanding amongst the public and elites of the full measure of the climate challenge.”
It seems that in mainstream scientific publications and official reports, the truth about climate change and the fate of civilization may be buried deeply between the lines.
Fortunately, there are other contexts in which experts are not quite so reticent and whose assertions echo Roger Hallam’s. As much as a decade ago a climate symposium organized to discuss the implications of a 4 C warmer world concluded, “Less than a billion people will survive.” Here Schellnhuber is quoted as saying: “At 4 C Earth’s... carrying capacity estimates are below 1 billion people.” His words were echoed by professor Kevin Anderson of the U.K.’s Tyndall Centre for Climate Change: “Only about 10 per cent of the planet’s population would survive at 4 C.”
And that would be the richest 10% the rest of us are welcome to die.

“Observational evidence that cloud feedback amplifies global warming”
“Confirmation that cloud feedbacks amplify global warming, putting climate sensitivity up to 3.2C from 3C. Low sensitivity excluded, but still highly dangerous significant possibility of much higher sensitivity. This makes 1.5C not feasible and 2C impossible without immediate rapid global emissions decline. Our governments are instead pushing global fossil fuel emissions up, which is an even more certain evil death sentence for humanity. “
