Life 'as we know it',
& what 'we thought about the future' &
and how it might have been with more &
more climate weather changing severity
and frequency
,is now uncertain.
Lets thanks each other later and
make this appropriately opportune stand for
Earth and everyone in, on and orbiting it.
Then maybe, just maybe the approxm
~ 150 Thousand babies born at time of writing
+8b total@8077913632
might actually get to express gratitude for
intervention on behalf of their futures.
Allowing continued resource exploitation
>> that directly worsens climate change <<
amounts to gross negligence
of planetary proportions.
Population majorities absoluely reject
> continued ignorance of these
destructive environmental machinations,
spurned by economic hording without consequence.
Life on a fast-paced 'pre-heat to roast'
temperatured planet???
and the 'roast-ride' so far? fact
~ 35 degrees C and sweating
fails to cool human physiology ~
*43C in Sydney yesterday..
Climate changing much???>
People changing >>
Industry changing >>>
Species Survival >>> Future Secure
adaptation is imperative not choice

Seriously, have care and belief that
fellow humans deserve an inspiring prosperous life

"Planetary crisis -
The planet has endured a string of
record-breaking temperatures and
intensifying storms and heatwaves,
with efforts far off track on an
ambition set at the 2015 Paris
summit to limit warming to
1.5 degrees Celsius above
pre-industrial levels.
"1.5 is not negotiable, and that means
an end to fossil fuels," said Tina Stege,
climate envoy for the Marshall Islands,
which like many low-lying ocean nations
fears its very survival as
melting ice brings up water levels.
A negotiator from a country in favour
of a fossil fuel exit said the Arab group
of nations was the only one to take
a strong position against a phase-out,
although cracks were seen with
Arab states that do not produce oil.
A person working for
the summit president's office
played down objections by Saudi Arabia,
saying it was normal for
nations to push hard at the end."
"I don't feel that we're at that point
where one is sticking their head above
the parapet and being the troublemaker,"
the person said on condition of anonymity.
