This has always been clear: plant-based meat alternatives are better for the planet and, at least compared to red meat, better for your health. That this is not widely accepted is the product of meat industry disinfo, science illiteracy, and some very stupid journalists.

Eating this ultraprocessed food may be good for you and the planet, experts say | CNN

Plant-based meats have been viewed at times as ultraprocessed and possibly unhealthy. But some experts believe they deserve a second look.

Earth’s energy imbalance has more than DOUBLED in 20 years.

Earth’s boiling on the stove.

The lid’s on the pan.

And ‘leaders’ are still cranking the heat higher & higher & higher with $7,000,000,000,000 in yearly fossil fuel subsidies.

Without fungi we will all die.

Yet 90% of fungi biodiversity hotspots are unprotected & threatened with destruction.

Once again we see there are no sane arguments for continuing with this system that can only be sustained by killing everything on the planet, including us.

Earth’s underground network of fungi needs urgent protection, say researchers

Study finds that only 9.5% of fungal biodiversity hotspots fell within existing protected areas

You have to be expected to die within 6 months. That's not disabled. That's terminal. You can live your whole life being disabled, end stage cancer is something else

Fair enough...BUT

2C will almost certainly be breached well before 2050

According to UK Institute of Actuaries this will = 25% drop in global GDP + 2 billion dead

1954: the fossil fuel industry knows it’s obliterating our futures.

1970 onward: the industry makes $3,000,000,000 in profits EVERY DAY.

2022: world governments gift the same industry $7,000,000,000,000 in subsidies.

The people you think are in charge are not really in charge.

‘Smoking gun proof’: fossil fuel industry knew of climate danger as early as 1954, documents show

Documents show industry-backed Air Pollution Foundation uncovered the severe harm climate change would wreak

We reached an #unique point. We are the first generation to torture most animals that are alive for their entire lives. 90 billion individuals cannot move, fly, see daylight and live & sleep in their own excrements. Peak pain and peak fear in the history of life on Earth.

60% of all mammals and 70% of all birds are #food animals. They can't move or fly. Not once. They live in their own poop.

For the first time in the history of life on Earth, most animals alive #suffer peak #pain 24/7 for their entire lives.

Pain & suffering on Earth is a marker for #collapse

The more we discover, the worse it gets. Now we learn the water companies wrote the guidance ensuring sewage sludge is not tested for the vast majority of contaminants before being spread on farmland. They gave themselves a free licence to dump hazardous waste. 🧵
