Climate scientists comment

jeudi 31 août 2023 à 13:48

The Guardian convened 45 climate scientists to consider whether global heating is already unstoppable. Their conclusion is, not yet, but without strong steps starting soon, it will be.

They reported that overall global heating so far fits closely with predictions, but the models don't predict local extreme weather very well, and some of that has been surprising.

Since local heat waves and disasters cause a substantial part of the damage, I surmise that damage is rising faster than predicted. That includes food shortages.

Conclusion: *Dramatic climate action needed to curtail "crazy" extreme weather.*

Cop City protesters targeted

Atlanta is systematically intimidating activists opposed Cop City by jailing them without valid grounds, then after release labeling them as "terrorists" so they will be harassed in various ways.

I urge everyone to learn not to feel shame for being persecuted. This can help help you stand up to hate campaigns from whatever side.
