Everyone I know who has sought to understand climate science experiences deep and profound grief.
Grief for all of our children, grief for the natural world.
From that grief comes the knowledge that the next step is real action & societal change.

Correction: This is the 2nd time that mass mortality of corals has occurred in the same summer on both the east and west coasts of Australia.
The 1st time was in 2016.

Australia formally misses UN climate deadline, only one country makes pledge close to 1.5°C
Australia, as expected, has missed the official but largely symbolic deadline for its 2035 emissions targets. Only one country submitted a target close to 1.5°C goal.

Everyone needs to know that these fires were made possible by global heating, which is caused by the fossil fuel industry, which has lied and blocked action for half a century. And that this will all get much, much, much worse until we end the fossil fuel industry

A reminder that Los Angeles had its hottest summer in history last year. Southern California has received just 2% of "normal" rainfall during the current "rainy" season.
These fires are a direct result of a warming & drying atmosphere caused by burning fossil fuels.
We are in a climate emergency.

Dug up in Australia, burned around the world – exporting fossil fuels…
Our research found Australia’s coal and gas exports were responsible for 1.15 billion tonnes of CO₂ emissions in 2023. An additional 46 million tonnes of CO₂ were emitted domestically in the process…
