Irreparable damage alert!

"...even pretend to target the 80% emissions reductions by 2050 scientists say will be needed to avoid irreparable damage."

And you wonder where the alarmists are?

I'm an alarmist.  Exponential melting of ice caps, glaciers, methane hydrate sea floor ice, and tundra ice entrapping methane.  

There's your alarm, that's an alarm.

The USA is in denial, because y'all live in the Northern Hemisphere, and your turn to really bake has yet to come.  The north has a very large land mass compared to the south, but the ice in your half is melting faster..... all it all when y'all really realise what is happening, your lot will be a pillar of ice !  The coming Ice Age will bury all of the USA..... eventually

So denial is backed by your surroundings, you don't see really pressing problems (except productivity loss).... until you all freeze solid.

Y'all do not care what happens to the Southern Hemisphere, you don't live there, let alone know where it is.

And the greenhouse gas science presented to the public is just total Big Oil fabrication, and many people intuitively know this.

So no wonder confusion is the order of the day.

It looks like Republican fave Roger Pielke Jr. will not be testifying this Thursday. The Republicans extended the invitation and then took it back.

Oddly enough, the four people who will testify are all -- gasp! -- REAL scientists. What a novel idea. Not just professors who play scientist on their blogs. But actual people with stature and peer-reviewed publications.

Still, the House Science Committee hasn't yet removed Pielke from the invite list.

It can be discouraging to hear politicians of all stripes continue to deny humanity's role in creating the climate crisis that we are facing.  But you know what? Politicians generally only "get it" when they realize that public support for a political solution is overwhelming. It's often the only way to overcome the influence of big-money interests that continue to hold sway over both major parties.

We are experiencing a surge of grassroots activity in response to climate change in cities throughout America. We can all play a role in this effort by reducing the greenhouse gases for which we are individually responsible and urging our cities, workplaces, schools, and religious institutions to do the same. If we do (and is there any doubt that we must?), the politicians will follow. They always do.

>> We are experiencing a surge of grassroots activity >>

The voice crying out must be coherent, must shout the correct reasons, and then other sheep will bleat along
and maybe some action will be brought about.

I doubt there is enough time for this world to play these games.

Money and lifestyle has blinded almost everyone, even the convinced.

LOL
