Climate change – more extreme weather on the way.
The climate is changing and fast, it seems much faster than we had predicted. This weekend will see RECORD European heat.
Recent BBC articles on various serious issues. Heat over 40c has proven deadly to humans, it can destroy crops, water systems etc.
We still want to mine deep see minerals,. warnings about this ignored, and due to people not making agreements deadlines pass to stop this happening. We don't need to mine for new tech, we don't need new phones ever year, we need to consume less, recycle more and change the way we live our lives to more sustainable models. The fact the ocean floor is teaming with unstudied life, means if we start mining, we will most likely destroy this fragile ecosystem and wipe out species we don't even know about.
While at the same time there are still posts denying all these problems spreading on some social media platforms.
If you want to have proper discussions on all this I suggest you join a Fediverse instance such as qoto mastodon or Science Forums.
I have since added another link to an article about land temperatures hitting 60 degrees C.
