1. The oceans are being killed:
Overfishing, acidification, coral & seabed destruction, plastic & chemical pollution, ocean anoxia, phytoplankton, etc...

2. Forests will soon be gone.
Over 20,000 scientists/experts fear for our forests.

'Especially troubling is...deforestation'

3. Fertile soil is disappearing.
@guardian's response to ecological collapse is to support the corporate systems doing the damage.
Awful.
So, yes, it has helpful articles, but it wants readers to trust in ecocidal consumerism.

6. Climate chaos is inevitable.
Some threads with articles to explore.
Social media, for all its flaws, is better than 'MSM' at getting scientific reality on climate breakdown out to ordinary people.

6. Climate chaos is inevitable.
Climate breakdown is not gradual and slow. What is happening is sudden, rapid, abrupt climate change. Our predicament is worsened by the exponential nature of change - ice loss is key.

Why?
State & corporate media are owned, influenced, & controlled by groups & individuals who risk losing their wealth & power if humans choose the right response to this ecological emergency: we must reassess & replace the global growth economy.
