We're currently seeing a global ecosystem collapse:

• plankton replaced by toxic bacteria

• study finds ocean ecosystems likely to collapse in 2020s and land species in 2040s unless global warming stemmed

• studies show drought and heat waves will cause massive die-offs, killing most trees alive today.

• multiple overlapping crises could trigger 'Global Systemic Collapse'

• 246 academics call on government to act now to avoid global collapse

• Planet's largest ecosystems collapse faster than previously forecast

World's oceans are also acidifying to a similar rate as the Permian extinction (but again in 100 years instead of 20k-60k), with an anoxic event locked in after 1,000ppm or 360 gigatons, which we will reach by 2100 at the latest. So that's whatever's left wiped out.

And here's what's currently happening with food production. Two different groups of 200+ scientists and academics, separately from each other, each warned of near-term global collapse:

News articles about projected crop failures:

• UN says passing 2C will have a 'very high projected risk' of global food supply instabilities

• UN says passing 2C would cause 'multi-breadbasket failure'

• UN says passing 2C would cause 60% of global wheat to be subjected to 'Severe Water Scarcity (SVS)' drought events

I hope this comes with the implied understanding that there are people that contributed not only knowingly, but intentional hiding the truth, to the upcoming disasters. Since this is the biggest fear I have with current trends, that people behind big corporations that caused all this will continue their lives as they are, while people like us that did their best to spread awareness and to keep at least their immediate environment in check will be forced to bare the consequences ☹️

Unfortunately, so far there are no consequences for the people responsible and there aren't any mechanisms to hold them accountable. I fear that our whole civilization will collapse before these people are brought to account for their crimes.
