I just get tired...Tired of hearing that 1.5°C is a "target" or "goal". IT IS NOT. It is a limit. The only real goal is 0°C. And not bad 1.5°C, when we LIKELY tip GIS, WAIS, Tropical Coral Reefs and Abrupt Boreal Permafrost, and get more floods, droughts, heat, disease, storms.

We must be brave, braver than we have ever been before, pushing past our old timidity and social restraint, standing up to those who wreck our living planet, confronting our own desire for a quiet life of consumerism and complacency.

As horrifying fires devastate large tracts of North America, Siberia, Greece and Turkey, have we already stepped over the brink? We're seeing the kind of escalating disasters some of us warned about for decades, as ecosystems are pushed past their tipping points. Thread/

Ye 20s & 30s, don’t feel pressured by society’s deadlines. I’m 38. I don’t own a house, I prefer renting, less stress. I got married at 33. I don’t have kids. And I am happy. I couldn’t be arsed what anyone thinks. Live YOUR life, not one of society’s expectations, but your own.
