Climate change - gotta love it!

I was just wondering if this tool () might be helpful to coordinate and announce activities against or .
After the report there seems to be a beginning of mobilization against in Germany. But at the moment these are small and local. They are lacking a coordinating element and a platform for announcements.
But I am not sure if it suitable for this. Might also be better on a different / dedicated instance
Haven't done any testing yet ...

There you have yet another evidence of how robust our understanding of the effect of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is.

"The spectral trends predicted by the climate change simulations identify three bedrock principles of the physics of climate change in the satellite record: an increasing greenhouse effect, stratospheric cooling, and surface-tropospheric warming."

"Although I did not enjoy the cold seasons at their most intense, I had come to agree that there was a rightness about them, that there was a natural order in such things. The absence of this order, the absence of cold when it ought to be cold, was something I now sensed as a sudden discomfort."

thank you for sharing this concept.

This applies PERFECTLY to the COP process, which should address climate change but has failed again and again to do so over 30 years.

Nice graphic. However I think an additional level is missing inside the inner circle. The origin of why we have so many greenhouse gases, land use change, etc.

At the core is overconsumption ( ) , dependence on fossil fuels and enslavement of our economies by the growth imperative. All of them endorsed by the deeply rooted cultural belief that humans are separate from, above of, and owners of nature.

This infographic shows very well he drivers of climate change, changes to climate systems and consequences.

Mmmm...just heard a radio advert imploring us to set our washing machines to 30C to save energy and money. This in a country where the current (sic) PM famously had the electrical grid connection to his home upgraded to allow his swimming pool to be heated.

Indeed, "magic" sounds right.

It's one of the reasons I stopped listening to with Neil deGrasse Tyson. The cognitive dissonance was unbearable.

No, we will not fix that with "net zero till 2050". Not even with absolute zero immediately. We screwed it up irreversibly.

I find it interesting that "making commercial supersonic flight possible" is part of NASA's mission.

The plane will be fully electric, carbon-neutral, I'm sure. It's not like scientists and engineers from NASA forgot we're in a climate emergency.

Humanitys actions are scorching the earth. Twenty twenty-three was a mere preview of the catastrophic future that awaits if we dont act now. We must respond to record-breaking temperature rises with path-breaking action. -

At this time of the year, Gulmarg Ski resort in Kashmir (Himalayas) should be covered in snow and tourists. Apparently it's the world's third highest ski area.

This year, thanks to climate change, a ski resort with no snow is just a town.

I'm not, nor do l try to be, your average communicator. That's because, your mean person, isn't your average eco-scientist (far from it). Show me a science graph, that shows the world is heating up, l care enough, to want to try to prevent it. Even if science said, the most harm wouldn't happen, until after l was dead. If the thought of being dead unnerves you & If the thought of doesn't deeply concern you, that's why l think differently than the mean person
