Babies are suing the South Korean government over weak effort to combat #climate change. “It will send a message: all countries need to take action in order to tackle this global crisis, and there are no exceptions,” https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-01457-y
LOL -- not laughing at Texans predicament -- and our own -- but the thoughts here that the insurance costs in Texas are linked to "inflation", and not to billion dollar disasters piling up end-to-end in the state. I wonder if they wrote this article before Houston last week. 🤔 #Texas#Insurance#disasters#climate
"The winds that roared out of a supercell thunderstorm Thursday night leaving a deadly trail across Houston are on the rise in a warming #climate, though researchers are still teasing out the exact relationship between a rapidly heating planet and relatively small-scale weather patterns."
The urge and drive and commitment to act, to push harder, to move directly to solutions on CLIMATE chaos, has never been higher.
And frustration has never been higher. Are we moving forward, how can we tell, where is the OAR I can pull, which direction do we shove.
Stopping climate collapse IS ending the injection of CO2, by REPLACING Carbon energy utilities and devices. Building the new wind and solar energy.
Now.
@MorpheusB when the proposed solutions are always decades away, this justifying ‘transition fuels’, it stinks like extending fossil fuels rather than solving the problem. We have technologies now that can help, but no, let’s delay the solution. #auspol#climate#fossilfuels
Lethal heat will make Australia's north 'unliveable'

This group of climate activists aims to pressure Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz into issuing a government declaration about the dire concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the importance of shifting course.

If you got upset at me for pointing out that more people died of Covid under Biden than Trump, in large part because Biden rolled back common sense restrictions that were in place under Trump...
Then you'll hate me pointing out that Trump introduced a 25% tariff on Chinese EVs, and Biden is upping that to 100% tariff.
Until we can call out #humanrights violations anywhere, I think we'll continue to fail to address either #climate or historical injustices. Giving one country a pass because they produce more #EVs or have more solar panels is merely kicking the can down the road.
