Here’s what’s currently happening:

• defaunation
• humans just 0.01% of all life but have destroyed 83% of wild mammals
• humanity has wiped out 60% of animal populations since 1970, report finds

We’re currently seeing a global ecosystem collapse:

• study finds ocean ecosystems likely to collapse in 2020s and land species in 2040s unless global warming stemmed
• studies show drought and heat waves will cause massive die-offs, killing most trees alive today.
• multiple overlapping crises could trigger ‘Global Systemic Collapse’
• 246 academics call on government to act now to avoid global collapse
• Planet’s largest ecosystems collapse faster than previously forecast

World’s oceans are also acidifying to a similar rate as the Permian extinction (but again in 100 years instead of 20k-60k), with an anoxic event locked in after 1,000ppm or 360 gigatons, which we will reach by 2100 at the latest. So that’s whatever’s left wiped out.

And here’s what’s currently happening with food production. Two different groups of 200+ scientists and academics, separately from each other, each warned of near-term global collapse:

News articles about projected crop failures:

• UN says passing 2C will have a ‘very high projected risk’ of global food supply instabilities

• UN says passing 2C would cause ‘multi-breadbasket failure’

• UN says passing 2C would cause 60% of global wheat to be subjected to ‘Severe Water Scarcity (SVS)’ drought events
