The United Nations — founded by and controlled by the world’s most powerful capitalist countries — will NOT save us from climate and environmental collapse.
All we’ll ever get from them and our so-called leaders is a lot more “blah, blah, blah.” Words, not actions.
What our biosphere will get is more chemicals poisoning the land and sea, more plastic waste, more cars, more roads, more forests chopped down, and more droughts...

The Amazon Basin is responsible for around 15% of all fresh water discharged into the oceans and 13% of the planet’s biodiversity. But the rivers in the world’s largest tropical rainforest are drying up. Their waters have dropped to record lows this year.
This is all happening, scientists warn, at a point when the biome has lost 18% of its forest cover, reducing its capacity to absorb and store carbon. The Amazon is now approaching the point of no return, while global temperatures are set to break the annual heat record for the second consecutive year.

River levels have reached record lows in what is usually one of the planet’s great sources of freshwater, another sign that the vast rainforest basin is slipping toward a point of no returnViviane Zandonadi (SUMAÚMA)
