The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

"If even the security services are gagged when they tell the government what it doesn’t want to hear, perhaps our communication style,or our modes of protest...are not, as we keep being told, the problem"

It's not a "comms" problem; it's a morality&power problem.

"106,636 years of federal work experience were lost across the 10,109 employees with Ph.D.s who departed STEM or health roles 1 January–30 November."

It isn't just the scientific knowledge but the *institutional* knowledge that's been lost. Rebuilding federal science will be a generational effort.

New study finds that emphasizing collective efficacy (people's ability to catalyze large-scale change) is very effective in catalyzing behavioural change.

As you can see from my pinned post, I'm a big fan of simple messages that can mobilize public support for climate action!

UK OFFICIAL Key judgements 1. Global ecosystem degradation and collapse threaten UK national security and prosperity. 2. Cascading risks of ecosystem degradation are likely to include geopolitical instability, economic insecurity, conflict, migration and increased inter-state competition for resources. Moderate 3. Critical ecosystems that support major global food production areas and impact global climate, water and weather cycles are the most important for UK national security. 4. Ecosystem degradation is occurring across all regions. Every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse (irreversible loss of function beyond repair). High 5. There is a realistic possibility that some ecosystems (such as coral reefs in South East Asia and boreal forests) start to collapse from 2030, and others (rainforests and mangroves) start to collapse from 2050. Low 6. All countries are exposed to the risks of ecosystem collapse within and beyond their borders. 7. Without significant increases in UK food system and supply chain resilience, it is unlikely the UK would be able to maintain food security if ecosystem collapse drives geopolitical competition for food.

US should cancel silicone valley and Wall Street!

Adults thought they made it when reach adulthood, whenever they feel it is, and stopped absorbing new information.

the fact that we're all just accepting that our attention spans are being systematically destroyed for profit is wild. like we know it's happening and we just... keep scrolling anyway

I am a climate scientist and this is correct.

As the planet warms, storms like the one today are getting stronger… and as the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the mid latitudes, it increases the risk of the “freezer door” swinging open.
