Ben See@ClimateBenBREAKING: scientists hold back tears and shake their heads sadly as they explain utterly compromised COP29 climate conference was meant to be the last chance to organise rapid and deep emissions cut...
SummaryScientists express despair over the failed COP29 climate conference, warning that 1.5°C warming is now inevitable in the 2020s and 2°C will likely occur by 2030-2050, making rapid emissions cuts impossible. The thread argues that climate change combined with biodiversity destruction driven by industrial capitalism's profit-maximization creates an extinction-level crisis that requires immediate systemic economic change.Nov 17, 20245 tweets♥ 48.3K

SummaryA climate justice coordinator in Houston placed AirTags in recycling bins to track where materials actually go, discovering that 250 tons of plastic collected for recycling since 2022 hasn't been recycled at all—it's sitting at an unapproved facility creating fire hazards. The investigation reveals a broader global problem: only 5-6% of plastic actually gets recycled, exposing the myth that consumer recycling programs work as advertised.May 9, 202511 tweets♥ 19.9K

SummaryScientist Tyrone Hayes discovered that the herbicide atrazine chemically castrates and feminizes frogs, but the chemical company responded by investigating and discrediting him rather than addressing the findings. Despite being classified as probably carcinogenic by the WHO in 2025 and banned in Europe since 2004, the EPA still permits atrazine in US drinking water at levels 30 times higher than EU standards, and it persists in groundwater and accumulates in conventional milk.Jun 4, 202610 tweets♥ 12.7K
