The most meaningful thing people could do right now is to protest the media
and journalists and demand they tell the public the full truth about the magnitude of the threat of climate change @bbcnews @skynews @itvnews @DailyMailUK @MailOnline @TheSun

Grim situation in Chiva, west of Valencia tonight, where 430mm of rain have fallen today, with a scarcely believable 340mm of that falling in 4 hours!

NEW 🚨: The call to prosecute companies like @Shell @Equinor and @BP for their role in driving the climate crisis is getting stronger.
These companies have been fuelling climate breakdown for decades and are STILL hell-bent on drilling for more oil and gas. They must be stopped.
ALT Screenshot of a Guardian article titled " New York officials call for big oil to be prosecuted for fueling climate disasters" The image description reads "An ExxonMobil refinery near Joliet, Illinois. In 1982, an official at the oil major issued an internal report that found the global heating tied to fossil fuel emissions could ‘cause flooding on much of the US east coast’.

"We need an exit ramp off the highway to climate hell.
We have control of the wheel.
The 1.5 degree limit of global warming is still possible.
But we need to fight harder. Now." @antonioguterres

BREAKING: mass extinction media journalists stay silent on how the doom-growth economy is rapidly annihilating 32-70% of species this century.
(Watch how they casually chuck in an obligatory "It's not all bad news though!" right in the middle of describing planetary cataclysm.)

For a long time there was a popular view that at some point the costs of climate change would become so immense and obvious that we would be forced to take action.
That view looks increasingly naive.
