89% of people all over the world want their governments to take stronger climate action but the governments do the opposite – what else can I conclude as that any appeal to obey governments, appeal to them or work with them is propaganda of the most dangerous kind. We can't afford to wait for governments, leaders that base their supposed "legitimacy" on being democratically elected, on being the voice for the populace and then do not only the opposite of what we want, but the opposite of what we need too. Because turns out we're not a bunch of short-sighted, bumbling fools, we know better than the lobbyists, climate-killers, fossil fuel oligarchs and politicians how important it is to actually DO SOMETHING. Solutions do exist. It's not too late. It's never going to be too late to do something as long as a single human is alive. We can dispossess the climate killers, we can share food, medicine and housing fairly so that everyone has their needs met and their potential to help heal the earth is freed up. We can restore ecosystems, plant forests, swamps and savannahs (depending on where we are) that restore soils and hydrological cycles WHILE ALSO feeding us and wildlife, providing building materials and regenerative fuels, medicine and habitat for endangered species. Sequestering carbon in roots, soils, swamps, trees, biomass. #ClimateChange #ClimateDenial #anarchy #ClimateJustice #AnarchyForClimateJustice

«…This collapse could be a result of global heating. “It’s not that much of a stretch to think, yes, we’re seeing one terrible ramification of human-caused climate change,” he says.…» ".…could be.…" and ".…not that much of a stretch.…"??? Could we even possibly make this accusation any more feebly? Was anyone predicting glaciers would melt before climate change? They were formerly the kind of long-term fixed thing no one expected to change all of a sudden. Remember the phrase "moving at a glacial pace"?? That didn't arise because glaciers were prone to visible change in a short time. But then climate scientists did their job and carefully worked out a lot of detailed consequences of physics, predicting that glaciers would be melting more and more everywhere, and that floods and mud slides and ultimately drought would be the next thing we'd see. It doesn't take a complex analysis to attribute this to climate change. It takes a conspiracy of denialists, and the people that work for them, to suppress credence about the science if you want to tamp down anything so painfully obvious. This is not a case where something happened and people said "what a surprise. we'll have to figure out the cause", like when a building burns down that no one expected to. This is a building that had a blaze burning in the front yard already and someone was positioning a large fan to assure the flames went toward the building in a known-to-be-dangerous way and then the building burned down and people are saying "hmm, we'll have to see what the cause might have been". We need to stop reporting these events in isolation and report them as part of a coherent whole. Climate scientists' "a priori" predictions need their due. Predictions were copiously made in advance that the climate dice are not random but loaded, that bad things were about to happen. This is not a time for an "a posteriori" analysis where we pretend we thought the dice were fair and that sometimes bad things just happen randomly. «Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds? Captain Renault: I'm shocked! Shocked to find that gambling is going on in here. [a croupier hands Renault a pile of money] Croupier: Your winnings, sir. Captain Renault: [sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much.…» Source: IMDB #climate #ClimateDenial #nepal #mudslides #glaciers #GlobalWarming #GlobalHeating #meltinghttps://www.newscientist.com/article/2586497-a-glacier-collapse-is-most-likely-cause-of-the-nepal-disaster/

Gizmodo: ‘This Is Absolutely Crazy’: Antarctic Temperatures Hit a Record High This Month https://gizmodo.com/this-is-absolutely-crazy-antarctic-temperatures-hit-a-record-high-this-month-2000771232 This is bad news. This is evidence of #ClimateChange . The longer we as a #HumanFamily take to seriously address this #problem, the more drastic remidiation efforts will be required. #wakeup #ClimateCrisis #ClimateAction #ClimateJustice #ClimateEmergency #ClimateScience #ClimateDenial
