When published its update "April 2024 was warmer globally than any previous April in the data record" I heard it in a casual radio message, followed by an update on football. Even though I have to deal with professionally, the realization that we are in an uncharted climate territory does not make it any less mind-boggling. Casually mentioning this unfolding threat to our civilization in between the really relevant news and sports borders with denialism.
"New Orleans" by David Rovics, about hurricane Katrina. I'll never forget meeting the new students at school that came from New Orleans after the storm, our very own climate refugees. "Preparations must be made, they said
Now is the time
It was years ago they shouted
Inaction was a crime" "Thousands and thousands of people
Abandoned by the state
Abandoned by their country
Just left to meet their fate" "And the people died
And then they died some more
They drowned inside their attics
An army of the poor" "And now the city is in ruins
A massive toxic sea
Scattered through the nation
Half a million refugees
Here we are
In the richest country on the earth
Where the color of your skin
Determines what your life is worth
Where oil is the king
Where global warming is ignored
Where the very end of life
Is the place we're heading toward
Where it's more than just a metaphor
The flooding of the dike
And if we don't stop this madness
The whole planet will be like New Orleans, New Orleans, New Orleans" In addition, Mexico is undergoing major droughts and the water supply of Mexico City is under never before seen stress.

Plant trees and save the planet. Incorporating Climate Change and Climate Policy into Macroeconomic Modeling: Proceedings of a Workshop. A stark illustration of the poorer parts of the world grappling with climate change and the pivot from fossil fuels. From my privileged position, my immediate thought was, "why don't they just put solar panels on their houses and do everything on electricity" Of course a PV installation would be way beyond their lifetime budget. The cow poo would soon be atmospheric methane anyway - lesser evil to burn it to CO2.

New poll at bottom. In my last poll () nearly 60% of people who voted for Labor at the last election said they did so believing that Labor would not take effective action re climate change. Moreover, over 10% indicated they did so believing Labor would do stuff to make climate change worse. I'd really like to understand what people's motivations for voting this way are. To those over 70% who voted for Labor despite knowing they would do nothing or act to make climate change worse, did you do it because, Leanpub book LAUNCH!
