You'd rather be surfing waves than social media.

The Siberian Traps erupted 252 million years ago, spreading huge volumes of lava across a region as large as Europe. It also burned buried fossil fuel & injected colossal quantities of CO2 into the atmosphere.

The planet couldn’t cope, sparking the worst mass extinction in Earth’s history.

As Peter Brannen describes in this piece, humankind’s voracious appetite for energy is again overwhelming our planet’s capacity to recycle CO2, sending us in the same direction.

‘A climate of unparalleled malevolence’: are we on our way to the sixth major mass extinction?

Churning quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere at the rate we are going could lead the planet to another Great Dying

The Siberian Traps erupted 252 million years ago, spreading huge volumes of lava across a region as large as Europe. It also burned buried fossil fuel & injected colossal quantities of CO2 into the atmosphere.

The planet couldn’t cope, sparking the worst mass extinction in Earth’s history.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/aug/19/a-climate-of-unparalleled-malevolence-are-we-on-our-way-to-the-sixth-major-mass-extinction

Peter Brannen warns us:

'the rate at which humans are now injecting CO2 into the oceans & atmosphere today far surpasses the planet’s ability to keep pace. We are now at the initial stages of a system failure. If we keep at it for much longer, we might see what actual failure really means'.... will the Earth's sixth major extinction event be driven by human activity? Look like it will.

We know we're wrecking our home, but a better response is needed

the System activists have sliced the electricity cables that control the gas supply at JP Morgan’s London office & superglued the cabinet that houses them shut – making a quick repair impossible

In short, an act of sabotage against the single largest fossil fuel funder in the world. Researchers say that over the last four years, JP Morgan has pumped an eye-watering $192 billion into the industry

Oh dear, activists cut either power or telecommunications to JP Morgan, Allianz and Barclays on Monday.

Still, those companies are key players in the $7,900,000,000,000 invested in the fossil fuel industry so Shut The System are justified in doing it.

Eighty years of ‘Animal Farm’: Why we keep reading Orwell https://english.elpais.com/culture/2025-08-18/eighty-years-of-animal-farm-why-we-keep-reading-orwell.html
The British writer was satirizing Stalinism in his novel, but the story is a warning against any form of totalitarianism and a defense of independence, intelligence and, above all, humanity

80 years of George #Orwell's "Animal Farm"

Unlike "1984": potent searing foresight but unfortunately twisted and weaponized by the right and thus its true lessons muddied, "Animal Farm" slips under the radar because it's seen primarily as an anti-#Stalinism polemic

That's a shallow understanding

It's true power is as an anti-#fascism work
