沉痛哀悼在最近的中国北京暴雨中死难的百姓。以及所有系统性灾难的受难者。

对气候问题的讲述已经陈词滥调令人生厌,但事实上其中有效部分并不多。您知道为什么吗?

为什么改良派会占据主流?为什么新闻头条的环保运动注定失败?
尤其是,在这种情况下,我们可以怎么办?

🧬推荐三本书:《当又一轮暴雨袭来 …》

In the year preceding the devastating LA county #wildfires, big oil fiercely lobbied to kill a “polluter pay” bill that moved through the California senate and would have forced major fossil fuel companies to help cover the costs of #ClimateDisasters

Report:

"

WMO’s State of the Global Climate report confirmed that 2024 was likely the first calendar year to be more than 1.5°C above the pre-industrial era, with a global mean near-surface temperature of 1.55 ± 0.13 °C above the 1850-1900 average. This is the warmest year in the 175-year observational record.

WMO’s flagship report showed that:

Atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide are at the highest levels in the last 800,000 years.
Globally each of the past ten years were individually the ten warmest years on record.
Each of the past eight years has set a new record for ocean heat content.
The 18 lowest Arctic sea-ice extents on record were all in the past 18 years.
The three lowest Antarctic ice extents were in the past three years.
The largest three-year loss of glacier mass on record occurred in the past three years.
The rate of sea level rise has doubled since satellite measurements began.

Gardeners spewing gasoline fumes into the air next door for leaf blowing. At least it's not the leaf blowing that was going on here when we had 50-70mph winds 😬

(Gripe: we're in a freaking climate crisis--cities burning down--and gasoline powered leaf blowers, a major source of pollution due to the inefficiency of two stroke engines, are not yet outlawed here.)
