The devastation on its way is unimaginable - like nothing humanity has ever witnessed before - and everyone will wish they had been climate activists and ‘hysterics’ when they had the chance. We are in a moment of unprecedented stupidity

A reminder that 2024 was the hottest year ever recorded on Earth, and yesterday a group of food industry insiders warned that UK food security is in danger and food shortages are on the way. I imagine the football scores will get more media coverage. news.sky.com/story/march-...
March hottest on record in Europe - with warnings of 'harsher heat waves and wildfires' this summer
March was not just warmer than average, it was a lot warmer, the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service has found.

Here we go. The establishment are terrified of Gary Stevenson because hes connecting to millions in a way that rarely happens. They'll try and do anything to undermine him and will make stuff up, no doubt. Don't believe the billionaire owned press. They are not your friend.

Melting glaciers have caused almost 2cm of sea level rise this century alone, a study has revealed.

The world’s glaciers lost an average of 273bn tonnes of ice every year – the equivalent of 30 years of water consumption by the entire global population.

‘Dangerous climate breakdown has arrived.’
The President of the USA doesn’t accept it.
The party leading in U.K. polls doesn’t accept it.
The media never treats it like the threat it is.
It barely trends on Twitter etc.
Humanity is not fit for purpose. news.sky.com/story/danger...
'Dangerous climate breakdown' warning as hottest January on record shocks scientists
Temperatures last month were 0.1C above the record set in January 2024. And it comes after a year in which temperatures topped 1.5C, the target for climate negotiations, for the first time.

I am stunned the world is not reacting to this. I think the more people like me talk about it, the more people write it off.
Seems we are so broken that sliding into unimaginable calamity is the only way people will even look at the situation honestly.
We are lost.

This massive and urgent report tells the truth about what is actually happening inside our government now.

The upshot: it is not our government anymore.
Elon Musk’s DOGE—Now the “USDS”—Is a Dangerous Shadow White House
Donald Trump has quietly ended DOGE—as such—but only so he can give Musk far more power over the United States than he would otherwise have had. Musk is now, through the USDS, America’s co-president.

Climate change doesn't just make it hotter and wetter.
It makes extremes more extreme.
It causes climate chaos.
