Her homie, Mr. Pickels:

18:33

Right..

But like in the Bible…

Luke 18:33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.

SCOURGE HIM

PUT HIM TO DEATH

AND HE SHALL RISE AGIAN

I can already see it now. Forget the hurricanes for a moment:

-Hay isn’t growing at the right time. Last year, no one got good hay where I live, because the weather (which has been in the same pattern during hay season for as long as I’ve been alive) was whacked out.

-None of my animals grew coats correctly, because the weather is just all wrong, and they don’t know what season they’re in.

-We’re getting new temperature records globally; basically, all weather is starting to change already

-Where I live, there are always two weeks where we see echidnas everywhere, and then we don’t see them the rest of the year. that is, until last year, when we barely saw them, spaced throughout several months. 

-Let me reiterate, the animals cannot tell what season it is because climate change is altering weather patterns that have been here for as long as anyone can remember

-We also have more acidic rain due to all the gasses, which is why we’ve got so many statues and whatnot corroding even though they haven’t changed for thousands of years

-We had a tornado start to form in Melbourne. That’s unheard of.

We have the technology to slow down climate change. If we want to survive for more than 50 years, we need to act now. NOW. We need to put in place all the technologies we have, and pour money into more scientific research.

i just recently sat in a climate change presentation and the physicist who gave the presentation talked about how if in the next 30 years we (not just Americans, but humans all over the world) do not cut down on carbon emissions (and this honestly boils down to policy changes that MUST be made amongst industrialists in “developed countries” but that’s a whole other conversation) climate change will ultimately become irreversible. 

Recycling etc. and cutting down your carbon print is great, but it’s not going to help. Just 100 corporations are responsible for 71% of global CO2 emissions.

Similarly, looking to your elected representatives to grant change from above will be too little, too late.

Get involved in grassroots community organising, before it’s too late to build the sort of world we could be proud of, nobody else is going to do it for you. And by you I literally mean anybody reading this. Here are some helpful groups:

Extinction Rebellion

Earth Strike

Food Not Bombs

Food Not Lawns

Demand Utopia

The twelve years thing refers to our immediate target: specifically, we have to cut carbon emissions by 45% by the year 2030.

After that, we have to completely cut carbon emissions by the year 2050.

If we succeed, we still still see horrific impacts of climate change, BUT because the warming will be limited to 1.5 degrees C rather than 2, it will then reverse itself and drop back down to liveable, safe levels again without so many extinctions that the overall effect is irreversible.

The IPCC have laid out four pathways to do this, each of which will have different targets. But all of them have the same three things in common:

We need to reclaim a fuck of a lot of forest

We need an electric-powered mass transit alternative

We need to universally adopt carbon capture and storage technology.

_¿bendystraw? uhlala Mr. French

_then how do you say?

Feeling jealous of your friend’s art isn’t anything to be ashamed of. It happens to the best of us. But you should never lash out about it. Or make them feel like a threat. They’ve done nothing wrong. Instead, you should use that jealousy as motivation. And ask them for tips.
