Stephan: Humanity, represented by the various governments in the world, doesn't seem to get it, to realize what climate change is going to do to the earth, and the people of their nations. Humans, on the basis of this evidence, just can't seem to think long-term and prepare a strategy they actually implement, to deal with an on-rushing catastrophe. So what is necessary is for individuals who are capable of long-range thouht to do what is necessary to prepare themselves. In SR I have published literally hundreds of articles, reports, and papers, designed to help you -- if you are one of those individuals capable of long-term thinking. Go to the SR archives and search on "climate change." It is becoming very clear to me that this is the one option still available.

Countries around the world are failing to live up to their commitments to fight climate change, pointing Earth toward a future marked by more intense flooding, wildfires, drought, heat waves and species extinction, according to a report issued Wednesday by the United Nations.
Just 26 of 193 countries that agreed last year to step up their climate actions have followed through with more ambitious plans. The world’s top two polluters, China and the United States, have taken some action but have not pledged more this year, and climate negotiations between the two have been frozen for months.
Without drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, the report said, the planet is on track to warm by an average of 2.1 to 2.9 degrees Celsius, compared with preindustrial levels, by 2100.
That’s far higher than the goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) set by the landmark Paris agreement in 2015, and it crosses the […]
I have read many articles who talk about the drought conditions out west and almost none of them even mention the words: “Climate Change” even though that is the major cause.
