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.

Nature puts food on our tables.
Nature filters the water we drink.
Nature cleans the air we breathe.
Nature protects us from natural disasters.
Nature powers our livelihoods.
Nature protects our health.

And now, nature needs us.

Collapse of critical Atlantic current is no longer low-likelihood, study finds Scientists say β€˜shocking’ discovery shows rapid cuts in carbon emissions are needed to avoid catastrophic fallout

www.theguardian.com/environment/... The AtMOC is a major part of the global climate system. It brings sun-warmed tropical water to Europe and the Arctic, where it cools and sinks to form a deep return current. This is apocalypse. (Picture walking from England to Ireland on a new ice sheet. )

The war in Gaza has killed or injured 170,000.

Children are starving to death.

Trump is encouraging the ethnic cleansing of 2.2 million people.

Why is there no discussion in the US government about why we are spending billions of taxpayer dollars starving children in Gaza?

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Martin Crawford's food forest is a small jewel, a gleaming vision of a hopeful and peace filled future. Its preservation is a gift to the future, its loss would be a notable lament. Please, take a moment to let the land owners, the Dartington Trust, know how important a cultural heirloom this is.
