Unfortunately we were locked out of our account earlier today, and as a result have "lost" our list of people & bodies that we're following! We're trying to get it back, but in the meantime, please be patient with us - we haven't forgotten you! RT please 🤦‍♀️

When Notre Dame was burning, the world's media covered every moment of it and billionaires rushed to restore it. Right now the Amazon is burning, the lungs of our planet. It has been burning for 3 weeks now. No media. No billionaires. #PrayforAmazonas

We have so much to lose with the #Amazon burning 🐆🌳💧 and yet not enough action is being taken to stop its destruction!😱 It is crucial that we urgently agree to a #NewDealForNature and People, so moments like these won't go unnoticed - and unanswered. RT to spread the word!

There was worldwide outcry when the Notre Dame cathedral was on fire. Why is there not the same level of outrage for the fires destroying the #AmazonRainforest?

Scientists warn that losing another fifth of Brazil’s Amazon will trigger the feedback loop known as dieback, in which the forest begins to dry out and burn in a cascading system collapse, beyond the reach of any subsequent human intervention or regret. interc.pt/31V1DUa

“Vast stretches of Earth’s northern latitudes are on fire. Hot weather has engulfed a huge portion of the Arctic, from Alaska to Greenland to Siberia. That’s helped create conditions ripe for wildfires, including some truly massive ones burning in remote parts of the region”

Every six months or so, Indonesia hands me a tropical fever that knocks me flat on my back. I find myself asking "why this place?" while daydreaming about doing research in Paris, eating baguettes in cafes where there are no tropical diseases. But then I try to look around...

Where are the breaking news? The extra news broadcasts? The front pages? Where are the emergency meetings? The crisis summits? What could be more important? We are failing but we have not yet failed. We can still fix this. But not if we continue like today. Not a chance.
George Monbiot@GeorgeMonbiot

The biggest and worst news humanity has ever received - the collapse of life on Earth - was revealed by the #IPBES report yesterday. Only two UK newspapers (Guardian and Independent) carried it on their front pages. As for the rest ... you've guessed it. Thread/
