10,000 years ago humans and livestock were 0.03% of all land vertebrates by weight.

Today they are 96%. Just 4% of land vertebrates by weight are wild.

We have to grow more food in 30 years than we did in the last 3,000 years.

We will run out of food and water before we ever reach 100% renewable energy.

**CLIMATE**

The Potsdam Institute recently said that if our carbon budget were to increase 50%, we would only gain 10 years time to reduce emissions. Conversely, if our carbon budget were to shrink 50%, we would have to reduce emissions 10 years sooner than we hoped.

* [https://youtu.be/poHNsxbgHig](https://youtu.be/poHNsxbgHig) ( 5 min )

Then, a few days later, Michael Mann came out and said that our carbon budget for 1.5 C has just shrunk by 40%. But, Michael Mann will turn around and say we still have hope, nothing could be further from the truth.

In the last 10,000 years, humans and livestock have destroyed 98% of land vertebrate species biomass. Our green crop fields are so poisonous, they kill all birds, fish, frogs and insects that come within miles of them. There are so many poisons in the biosphere that all vertebrate species are rendered biologically emasculated, feminized and infertilized.

Mass extinction is preceding runaway hothouse chaos. Within this century our oceans will become super saturated with carbon and destroy most of the plankton on earth. In other words, earth won’t be fine without us.
