Recent reports and tweets from various sources including ClimateBen and major news outlets like BBC News and Reuters highlight a critical environmental crisis. The reports emphasize the dire situation of global warming, projecting impacts far more extreme than previously expected, with adaptation becoming increasingly impossible. Warming is expected to reach 2°C by the 2030s and potentially 4/5°C by 2050-2125, with significant biodiversity loss and the majority of species facing extinction risks. The UN has reported that 44% of the world's migratory species have declining populations, and 97% of fish species that migrate are in danger of extinction. Additionally, it's noted that the world's biggest oil and gas companies are projected to spend €857 billion on new oil & gas fields by 2030, further exacerbating the crisis. Moreover, more than one in five of the world's migratory species are at risk of extinction.

⚠️ ONE IN FIVE OF WORLD'S MIGRATORY SPECIES AT RISK OF EXTINCTION - UN REPORT (Reuters) More than a fifth of the world's migrating species are at risk of going extinct as a result of climate change and human encroachment, according to the United Nation's first-ever report on… https://t.co/998dAU5qRs

The world’s biggest oil and gas companies are projected to spend €857 billion on new oil & gas fields by 2030. This is an Extinction Economy. 🧵
“Failing to adapt often means extinction.” * 10- 20% of species now critically endangered * 75% of land species and 90% of ocean species face extinction risk * adaptation for species like humans likely to become impossible in next couple of decades 🧵 https://t.co/abxU7WEPPn
Will species like humans really be able to adapt at 1.5- 2°C of global warming? We need the political and economic systems changes urged by scientists in consensus IPCC and IPBES documents that mass media refuse to report on.🧵 https://t.co/0fxZYlGXjs
2°C impacts are far more extreme than previously expected making adaptation impossible. Warming is accelerating. We're heading for 3 or 4°C, not 2.5°C. Climate sensitivity and feedbacks are about physical reality, not luck. Warming can increase 0.5°C when/if emissions stop.🧵 https://t.co/OgRtErHDxX
The very dire situation is more dire than ever: * the biodiversity annihilation crisis is as bad as climate change * 4/5°C impacts are now expected at 2°C which it now turns out is beyond human adaptation * massive fossil investments herald 2°C by the 2030s, 3/4°C by 2050-2125 https://t.co/3Spt6WTggy
