A normal diet. The UK is so fucked up with ultra processed fast food shite - and it's an island that eats only cod!

“Some are saying we’ll have a 10% GDP loss at between 3C and 4C degrees [of global heating], but the physical climate scientists are saying the economy and society will cease to function as we know"

Damn right we are saying this

We are in deep, deep, sh*t

Most people are worried about climate change - but most don't hear or talk about regularly.

That's why I started my free newsletter Talking Climate. Every week I share good news, not so good news, and what people can do.

If you aren't a reader yet, see below. I have 6 different ways to subscribe!

Anthropogenically-accelerated climate change is ultimately leading to a warmer Earth faster than is natural, but the process is one of chaos and instability, like our recent deep-freeze and snowfall in the U.S. and Canada.

Can global warming increase snowfall? Greater evaporation from warming oceans increases atmospheric water vapor. More water vapor increases total precipitation during many kinds of storms, including winter storms. Read our newest feature story for more. Link in comments.

Copernicus maps help improve sit. awareness before, during and after emergencies.

Last January authorities in Mozambique and South Africa received 37 maps showing #flood impacts over 17 areas. In the same month, 10 other countries requested assistance too.

⬇️GHG emissions and ⬆️ adaptation are key.
