You may believe climate disruption is arriving sooner than we were told. You are right. Three power-house scientists have published a warning: “Global warming will happen faster than we think.” They explain three emerging threats that combine to bring climate danger out of the year 2100, and right into the next decade.

There was a flurry of prescriptive books about bright-green mitigation 10 years ago. Things like Hot, Flat, and Crowded. Nobody cared. They hunkered down with the recession, then bought SUVs and elected Trump.

Do you have ANY information that his data leading to his proclamations of end of civilization are any more right today, then they were the other times when he was wrong?
The truth is really hard to take. I resisted it for years, but now am becoming one of those who see things as they really are, unfortunately.

Revi wrote:I have been watching the videos, and seeing the talks by Peter Wadhams as well. Very scary. I wonder when we will listen? I think we loved scientists when they were telling us we could have flying cars, but not so much when they give us bad news. Very hard to get the message out at all. That's why I like Extinction Rebellion. They seem to be able to get people to listen a bit...
