8/ snip "Bill Rees is one of a number of #climate scientists who portray #climatechange as one symptom of a larger planetary problem of ecological #overshoot. In this excellent lecture (https://youtu.be/9oVTHKzC7TM) he briefly touches on: ocean acidification, freshwater contamination, #deforestation, soil #erosion, #desertification, overfishing and species #extinctions."
Key quotes:
“It’s not just mammals. Wild bird populations are also tumbling. Domestic poultry now constitute 70% of the world’s avian biomass. Average populations of thousands of monitored species of wild vertebrates, birds, fish, mammals, amphibians, have declined ~60% since 1970. Populations of #invertebrates, including essential #pollinators, are also in free-fall: Butterflies down 53%; beetles down 49%, bumblebees down 46%… All species monitored by WWF are down 68–70% in just 50 years.”"

Governments need to build resilience against extreme weather, droughts, and floods.
Intact forest landscapes and other nature areas are our safety net, protecting people against extreme weather and climate crisis impacts.
