Bill McKibben -The Crucial Years: Is $38 trillion a lot?

Because that's what we're throwing away

A new study released today in Nature examines data from 1,600 regions of the earth for the last forty years, and concludes that by 2050 #climate change will be causing economic damage worth $38 trillion every single year.

If those numbers seem impossible to comprehend, then let Bloomberg break it down for you, “planetary warming will result in an income reduction of 19% globally by mid-century, compared to a global economy without #ClimateChange .”

Food waste is a global tragedy.

Not only is this a major development issue, but food waste continues to hurt the global economy & fuel the climate crisis.

Ahead of #ZeroWasteDay, check out the new #FoodWasteIndex report: https://unep.org/news-and-stories/press-release/world-squanders-over-1-billion-meals-day-un-report

If you are aged 30 or more, then 50% of all human fossil fuel emissions happened during your lifetime. (by Neil Kaye)

World „leaders“ and decision makers know we live in a finite planet, right?

Right?

was für ein 19.-Jahrhundert-Quatsch ist eigentlich ein DORF wegbaggern für KOHLE, gleich wieder Telegramme verschicken, Monokel tragen und für den Kaiser irgendeinen Krieg gegen Frankreich anfangen

es kann doch unmöglich jemand mal gedacht haben „wir sollten unser Gesundheitssystem auf komplette Gewinnmaximierung ausrichten“ und das wirklich für eine gute Idee gehalten haben, das klingt wie der Plan eines Bösewichts dem Batman aufs Maul haut
