August 1st is #EarthOvershootDay - the date when demand on our planet’s resources surpasses its capacity to regenerate them.

Earth Overshoot Day is getting earlier and earlier in the year. mostly due to our wasteful lifestyles.

If everyone lived like the USA or Australia, we need 5 Earths for sustainability.

If the world lived like Japan, China or most European nations, we need 3 Earths.

We have only 1 Earth

We have reached Earth Overshoot Day today, on 2 August 2023.

This is the day when we have used all of resources that the Earth can bear for the whole year. This means we would need 1.7 Earth planets to sustain our current resource use.

We are on course to face mass extinction in seas similar to those experienced roughly 250 million years ago,when 90% of marine species went extinct due to massive release of CO2,says article just published (under paywall😤) in @ScienceMagazine@twitter.com👉 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abe9039 1/

In Copenhagen, Denmark, the street in front of the Climate Ministry was blocked by 40 people, half of them scientists, holding posters of scientific papers and reading the IPCC report. 3/

In The Hague, Netherlands, over 50 scientists took part in a march giving speeches, calling for emergency action. Scientists blocked an entrance to the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy and read from the IPCC report; 7 were arrested. 4/

In Berlin, 14 Scientists chained and glued themselves to the street blocking the Kronprinzenbrücke bridge for 4 hours in the centre of Berlin. 5/

In Italy, the premises of @eni were occupied for 10 hours, with over 10 scientists locked-on. The activists demanded a public meeting with ENI CEO on ENI decarbonisation strategy. At the end of the day, the meeting was denied. They left, but the campaign will carry on. 7/

In Bern, Switzerland, 18 Scientists marched to the capital Bern to paste parts of the IPCC report and other climate science on the walls of the Federal Palace, and were stopped immediately by the police. The scientific community cannot let science be ignored anymore! 6/

In Quito, Ecuador, a group of young scientists demanded that the Ministry of Environment stop expanding oil exploitation. 8/

In Washington DC, USA, scientists chained themselves to the White House to demand action on the climate crisis from @POTUS and politicians. 10/

In Los Angeles, USA, scientists occupied the entrance of a Chase Bank. Cops shut down access to the building, with dozens deployed to arrest the scientists who locked themselves to the bank, including @ClimateHuman. 11/

This disproportionate show of force is a disgusting response to scientists fighting for a livable future. But from LA to Madrid, governments and the cops that serve them continue to arrest protestors instead of making the changes we need to survive. end/
