Completely different climates.

Sesame Street be like

I wonder at what point the scramble to save our kids will happen. Will there be a frenzy of apologies - for what they are worth... I wonder what that looks like: for a society to face it has condemned its young. I guess there will be mass denial of responsibility, and blame.

I don’t know how you’re meant to listen to this expert scientist and just act like everything is going to be OK.
The late and much missed Dr Will Steffen of the Australian National University.

Is it possible to survive the coming collapse of our agricultural civilisation? We won't know because we're not even trying to survive it.

Regardless of whether the all time temperature has been beaten, daytime temperatures of 50C and nighttime in the high 30s is simply not survivable for an extended period.

No Tory MPs voted positively on climate issues since party took power, study finds… the only people the tories hate more than voters are our children. We can’t afford to live in their fantasy world, such disgusting contempt for young people. theguardian.com/environment/ar…

Drought in Mexico & C America is off the charts. Extreme in dark red.
This is making a long term water shortage much worse, turning it into an acute emergency. Mexico City is running out of water and some say their Day Zero is only a month away, unless heavy rain comes. 1/

Temps up to 132F (55.5C) may not materialise but people need to prepare for it. We are entering completely different climates globally.

The planet is hotter than ever in recorded history and almost every media outlet I look at or listen to is talking about utter drivel.

Loss of particulate air pollution produced when burning fuels intensifies rainfall. Fewer nuclei for water vapour to condense around means that more droplets grow big enough to fall as rain.

In Mexico City, more and more residents are watching their taps go dry for hours a day. grist.org/drought/mexico…

Design for cooling towns - one of many interesting issues raised here is that councils tend to have separate budgets for development than maintenance, so a fear of future operating costs is often a barrier to creating profound change.

One billion tonnes of CO2 weighs the same as 3,000 Empire State Buildings.

1,100 billion tonnes of human CO2 weighs more than everything on Earth built by humans.

1,100 billion tonnes of CO2 heats the planet to 6C. The other GHGs add a further 4C.

Vastly more GHGs are released
