Blame it on global warming.
Blame it on climate change.
These events are to bring about His return.
Believe it or not.

during the lockdowns emissions drastically decreased. some ppl wnat to say productivity will suffer- well for thousands of us, driving 2-3 hrs in traffic every morning, then again in the afternoon is not my idea of productivity. but u see those who making the decisions that affect everybody probably live 5-10 mins away from the office

also we need to subsidize radiant barrier insulation while we reduce the subsidy on electricity- we obviously not using heat- so it have to be AC usage and very inefficient use of AC that is driving that power consumption. those who use the most should also pay higher rates than they are paying now once a certain threshold is passed.

The solutions that have been studied so far are more complex than that.

the rest of the Caribbean more energy efficient than we i sure- they doh have the subsidies we have on electricity

Interesting .Why they not being detained for 30 days extra, seeing that they were actually caught in the act?Dizzy28 wrote:Climate campaigner Greta Thunberg was detained alongside other activists on Tuesday during protests against the demolition of the coal village of Luetzerath but the entire group will be released later in the day, according to police.
"There is no reason to hold them for days. It might take hours or they will go immediately," a spokesperson for regional police in Aachen said, speaking about the whole group of demonstrators.

‘The climate time-bomb is ticking’: The world is running out of time to avoid catastrophe, new UN report warns

Updated 10:12 AM EDT, Mon March 20, 2023
The world is rapidly approaching catastrophic levels of heating with international climate goals set to slip out of reach unless immediate and radical action is taken, according to a new UN-backed report.
“The climate time-bomb is ticking,” said António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, in a statement to mark the launch of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s synthesis report on Monday. “Humanity is on thin ice – and that ice is melting fast,” he added.
The report draws on the findings of hundreds of scientists to provide a comprehensive assessment of how the climate crisis is unfolding.
The science is not new – the report pulls together what the IPCC has already set out in a cluster of other reports over the last few years – but it paints a very stark picture of where the world is heading.

UN report on climate crisis confirms the world already has solutions -- but politics are getting in the way
“This report is the most dire and troubling assessment yet of the spiraling climate impacts we all face if systemic changes are not made now,” Sara Shaw, program coordinator at Friends of the Earth International, said in a statement.
The impacts of planet-warming pollution are already more severe than expected and we are hurtling towards increasingly dangerous and irreversible consequences, the report says.
While the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above preindustrial levels is still possible, the report noted, the pathway to achieving it is rapidly closing as global production of planet-heating pollution continues to increase – emissions grew by nearly 1% last year.
Concentrations of carbon pollution in the atmosphere are at their highest level for more than two million years and the rate of temperature rise over the last half a century is the highest in 2,000 years.
The impacts of the climate crisis continue to fall hardest on poorer, vulnerable countries that have done least to cause it.
“Our planet is already reeling from severe climate impacts, from scorching heat waves and destructive storms to severe droughts and water shortages,” said Ani Dasgupta, president and CEO of World Resources Institute, in a statement.
