“The latest U.N. report is another reminder that we are still just throwing cups of water at a raging inferno,” Jamie Henn, director of Fossil Free Media, wrote on Twitter. “It’s past time for [U.S. President Joe Biden] to declare a climate emergency and use every power he has to get us off fossil fuels.”
Worth keeping in mind that the history of climate change predictions has been that things keep happening faster than expected.
Great point, crazy that even if accurate 78 years isn’t all that far down the road. Maybe if we listened to one of the many reports starting back in the industrial revolution regarding green house gases, we’d be in a less dire situation.
Yeah, it’s incredibly disturbing to see global scale climate disasters happen multiple times a year now and most people don’t seem to even be worried. What exactly does it take for people to realize we’re in a crisis.
As I was told countless times growing up; how loud does the message have to get before you learn the lesson?
