About as much use as a chocolate fireguard What is the point of climate negations if they cannot even mention fossil fuels?

No better feeling? Surely there are one or two better? 😋

The 2025 state of the climate report: a planet on the brink We are hurtling toward climate chaos. The planet's vital signs are flashing red. The consequences of human-driven alterations of the climate are no longer

In our Climate Report my coauthors and I say: We are hurtling toward climate chaos. The planet's vital signs are flashing red. Consequences of human-driven alterations of the climate are no longer future threats but are here now. Read report here doi.org/10.1093/bios...

Great news congratulations James

The tiny grey sliver is remaining carbon budget for the mythical 1.5 degrees. Heads in sand we March on as if there is no tomorrow

Do the Math | Using physics and estimation to assess energy, growth, options—by Tom Murphy One of the most common reactions is that abandoning agriculture is tantamount to committing many billions of people to death, since the planet can’t support billions of hunter-gatherers—especially given the dire toll on ecological health already accumulated.

Yeah The Conversation is slipping badly I see more and more of this rubbish, such a shame

Have a great break come back recharged

Something even more obvious is reducing consumption rather than trying to propup the utterly unsustainable wasteful lifestyles of the wealthy 10% responsible for > 50% of emissions and 75% of non-renewable material consumption

This is supposed to be ironic?

As Europe swelters, scientists warn things are going to get HOTTER Scientists say the extreme heat gripping Europe is only the start, with climate change set to make heatwaves more frequent, longer, and even more deadly.

Me again... "If we do not quickly end the burning of fossil fuels then by the middle of this century the heatwave that is currently subjecting millions of people across Europe to crippling heat and humidity could be happening every other year." www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/...
