@WxNB_ May 31:
Hard to believe I’m even writing this.
Meteorological summer hasn’t even begun, yet Paris, France has already logged more days above 32°C (89.6°F) than its annual average.
@ryankatzrosene:
Thinking about this chart while reading lukewarmers say “relax, it’s just a heat wave”
@ClimatePNowak:
Very alarming. To me, seeing Paris exceed its annual average before summer begins highlights just how urgent the climate crisis has become.
@FundamentalLack:
Heard an unfun fact today that if current Anthropocene trends continue, the ambient temperatures will reach 100•C in 400 years
@BergvikJohnny:
Half the trees are gone. It’s so easy to look around in our modern world and falsely believe that this is how it’s supposed to be. Asphalt and concrete are not natural parts of our biosphere, nor are cars, trucks and industrial machinery. Our biosphere is, in truth, collapsing.
@nonviolence.bsky.social:
Our argument: Don’t worry, the branch will grow back.
We are vastly overpopulated.
Too many
- Humans
- Livestock animals (food for humans & pets)
- Animal eating pets
Not enough
- Primary forests
- Wildlife
Getting worse by the second.
Man’s best friend may be nature’s worst enemy, study on pet dogs suggests

It’s hard to seperate more humans from more “selfish humans” and less “other species”.
We have more dog & cat biomass than all wildlife mammals on land.
Every human child we add destroys the last habitats and wildlife animals. Every animal we eat destroys the last habitats and wildlife animals…
@race2extinct.bsky.social:
Since European colonization, North America has lost 9–11 billion birds.
- ~5–6 billion before 1940
- ~1–2 billion from 1940–1970
- ~2.9 billion since 1970
The quiet collapse of abundance is how the Sixth Mass Extinction is playing out: fewer wings, fewer songs.
@amyastro.bsky.social:
I took an Ornithology class in college in 1976. We did a lot of birding walks in nearby National Forests. Lots of species that were abundant then are now rarities. Or gone completely. Humans suck.
@race2extinct.bsky.social:
Yup. The disappearance is accelerating.
@cynthiasax.bsky.social:
We should also be asking ourselves why we need to leave our homes to find peace, to connect with nature.
Cities and towns have become too noisy and toxic, even small hamlets like Rosebud with population less than 100, is too noisy. Vehicles with noise enhanced engines and mufflers removed, choppers touring rich people, planes spreading cancer causing and brain damaging glyphosate, diesel buses that never get turned off, snowmobiles, idiotic leaf blowers, lawn mowers, drones, toys, games, frac and drill rigs, endless roaring compressors, and more, and now, the invasion of AI data centres (fake boom to make the billionaires richer)
Perhaps the endless expanses of perfect green lawns aren’t giving us that.
@race2extinct.bsky.social:
Fertilizer and pesticide laden lawns don’t seem to be enough.
@ryankatzrosene:
From HeatMap: Judge finds Trump admin’s efforts to dismantle Climate change research center amounted to actions that were “arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law.”
