Temperatures are about to reach 30°C in the whole Siberian permafrost-area during the next 2 weeks.
Unprecedented for such a long period, this early in the summer.

On a besoin d'aide pour faire connaître notre projet #Mobilizon. En gros, si vous trouvez que ce n'est pas génial d'utiliser Facebook ou Meetup pour vous rassembler, vous organiser et vous mobiliser, aidez-nous à faire connaître ce projet.

Vous connaissez des personnes susceptibles d'être intéressées (manifestant⋅es, militant⋅es, activistes, etc.) ??? Partagez auprès d'elles ces informations ! On vous remercie beaucoup fort ❤️

To change everything, we need everyone. It is time for all of us to unleash mass resistance – we urge the adults to join us. On September 20th we call for a global general strike. #FridaysForFuture #ClimateStrike https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/may/23/greta-thunberg-young-people-climate-strikes-20-september

Mobilizon, the upcoming open federated alternative to Facebook Events, has reached its first crowdfunding goal of €20k:

https://joinmobilizon.org/en/

This covers development of the events software itself.

The next goal, €35k, adds federation through ActivityPub, which will let people on the Fediverse share and join events. This could be crucial to helping many more people leave Facebook 👍

You can donate at the link above, and follow them on here at:

France's largest free software organisation @Framasoft has just launched a crowdfunding campaign for an open federated events tool, Mobilizon:

https://joinmobilizon.org/en/

Mobilizon would replace Facebook Events and similar closed services.

It would use ActivityPub, so people would be able to organise events on the Fediverse.

You can also follow its Mastodon account here:

Anomalously hot day on the coast of Arctic ocean: Arkhangelsk, Russian just recorded +29°C (at 11.00 UTC). That's only 500 km east of Finnish border.

“The EU uses up almost 20% of the Earth's bio-capacity although it comprises only 7% of the world population.
This means 2.8 planets would be needed if everyone consumed at the rate of the average EU resident.”

Place the IPBES report next to the IPCC 1.5 C report and you have a full picture of a Planetary Emergency. Science cannot be more clear. The World needs to Transform.

”The biomass of wild mammals has fallen by 82%, natural ecosystems have lost about half their area and a million species are at risk of extinction – all largely as a result of human actions.” #ClimateBreakdown #EcologicalBreakdown https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/may/06/human-society-under-urgent-threat-loss-earth-natural-life-un-report

Yes, there's a sudden drop in temp and snow/hail in May, after an almost summer like April in Sweden. But look at the bigger picture.

Large warm areas in the Arctic pushing cold air southward.

And still, lowest sea ice record ever.

NEW STUDY: Researchers find that "permafrost collapse" in the Arctic is accelerating and could release 50% more carbon than previously thought, making "massive cuts" from human emissions "even more urgent".

It's official: Cyclone Kenneth is now the strongest storm to make landfall in recorded history in Mozambique -- and in the entire African continent.

DO NOT allow this disaster to go unseen.

Happy #EarthDay !
This is what’s needed to stay below 1,5°C of warming.

Note that this doesn’t include the aspect of equity, feedback loops or additional warming hidden by toxic air pollution.

Sorry to bother but it’s time to act.
