Last decade was Earth's hottest ever as CO2 levels reach an 800,000-year high.

Last year was the hottest year on record, the top 10 hottest years were all in the past decade and planet-heating carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is at its highest levels in the last 800,000 years, a report Wednesday said. #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming

You couldn't write a dystopian novel with a grimmer plot than what we are witnessing in reality.

Here's how the story goes: Capitalism cuts down all the forests in search of profits, strip-mines the Earth in search of profits, pollutes our air and our water in search of profits... and now, what's left?

Oh, wait, say the capitalists, we haven't dug down into the deep sea yet in search of profits, er, um, minerals. And guess what, we can pretend we're doing that for the sake of the climate and environment!

Yeah, that's the idea. We need those minerals to make electric cars. So it's a win-win. We'll make billions more in profits, AND we'll make ourselves look good by promoting Green Growth! 😃

In essence, politicians are abandoning the responsibility to reduce pollution for their own childrens, & children's children future (as they are the unsustainable business as usual culture, including farming agricultural animals for meat)

But, that's a sign of the times #Plutocracy

@EUCommission I don't say hello as long as these #dataCenters lead to an immense climate-damaging footprint (water consumption/electricity), can even increase electricity costs for inhabitants of such an area. As long as there are no ethical guidelines. As long as these things scrape everything without restraint, appropriate copyrighted content and thus massively harm the #authors. I say: we could use the money for urgently needed social and climate projects!

It turns out billionaires like Bill Gates care more about themselves and their money than about maintaining a livable planet for the rest of us.

Are you surprised? I’m not.
___________________________

In decades past, as the effects of climate change slowly became undeniable, some people looked to the super-rich for solutions. By the early 2020s, a few billionaires had positioned themselves as masters of climate change policy, taking advantage of their great fortunes to become indispensable to environmentalism.

Now, however, many of those same billionaires are pulling their support at an alarming rate. Microsoft founder Bill Gates, the sixth richest man in the world, is the latest among them. Breakthrough Energy — Gates' climate change nonprofit — has locked the doors on its policy and advocacy office, laying off dozens of employees throughout Europe and the US.

Ever since billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump won his second presidential election, tech barons like Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Sundar Pichai, and of course Elon Musk have made no bones about shedding their progressive skin and embracing the new administration.

Gates, too, is cozying up to the returning president. In early January, the Microsoft founder spent three hours dining with his fellow billionaire, telling the Wall Street Journal he was "frankly impressed" by Trump's grasp on the issues dear to him.

Though many no doubt feel betrayed by what seems like a sudden rightward turn, billionaires like Gates have always behaved like wolves in sheep's clothing, prioritizing their fortunes above all.
