Understanding the health impacts of the climate crisis
and imagining a positive future

"Climate change is the greatest threat to human health now."

"Climate change is already causing significant shifts in weather patterns and an increase in extreme weather events around the world, including droughts, heatwaves, wildfires, storms and floods."

"The major cause of pollution is the burning of fossil fuels, further motivating action on reducing GHG; adverse weather events, such as heatwaves, can acutely amplify pollution impacts."

#Fossil #fuel companies will continue to seek profits and damn the consequences (and most of us on their way).

This needs to be controlled and taxed - at the moment it is subsidised enormously, holds back #renewable development and as the people in #Scotland have found out, is used as a rod for their backs (renewable power is sacrificed by linking costs to gas and we pay more than anywhere else in Northern Europe - England included for our power).

Faithless - Mass Destruction lyrics

With a long range weapon or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction

Whether your stowaway's son or BBC 1
Dis-information is a weapon of mass destruction

You could a Caucasian or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction

Whether inflation or globalization
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction

My dad came into my room holdin' his hat
I knew he was leavin', he sat on my bed told me some facts son

I have a duty, callin' on me
You and your sister be brave my little soldier, and don't forget all i told ya
Your the mister of the house now remember this
And when you wake up in the morning give ya momma a kiss, then I had to say goodbye

In the morning i woke momma with a kiss on each eyelid,
Even though I'm only a kid, certain things can't be hid
Momma grabbed me, held me like i was made of gold, but left her in the story untold
I said, momma it will be alright, when daddy comes home, tonight

With a long range weapon or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction

Whether your stowaway's son or BBC 1
Dis-information is a weapon of mass destruction

You could a Caucasian or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction

Whether inflation or globalization
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction

Whether Haliburton, Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction

We need to find courage, overcome
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction

My story stops here, lets be clear
this scenario is happenin' everywhere
and you ain't goi'n to nirvana or favana
You comin' right back here to live out your karma
with even more drama than previously, seriously
Just how many centuries have we been waiting for someone else to make us free
And we refuse to sleep, the people overseas are just like we
Mad leadership, amigos, unfettered and free
They feed one the people they're supposed to lead, i don't need it
We need to pray away, for the lord to make it all straight
Its only now we do it right, 'cause I don't want my daddy, leavin home tonight

With a long range weapon or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction

The dispute — along w/ #inaction at the #FEC & #Congress — could leave #voters w/limited federal #protections against those who use #AI to #mislead the public or mask their #political msgs…. New #generativeAI technologies have already proved capable of creating uncannily realistic images.

“AI has the potential to be very influential in our #elections, & right now, there’s a total vacuum of #regulation on this issue,” said Ellen Weintraub, the Democratic vice chair of the FEC.

Malgré les menaces que l’humanité fait peser sur son environnement, le gouvernement tient des discours déconnectés du réel et pratique la course de lenteur, fustige un collectif de 260 scientifiques, dont le climatologue Jean Jouzel.

« Nous observons depuis des années, comme nombre de nos concitoyens, le clivage entre annonces et (in) action publique. A force de désillusions, nous prenons l’habitude de nous méfier. »

Will Australia's new environment draft laws stop deforestation and extinctions?

"Top environmental groups say some of Labor’s new laws could take conservation backwards."

Graeme Samuel "said the government would be accepting “the continued decline of our iconic places and the extinction of our most threatened plants, animals and ecosystems” if it shied away from the fundamental reforms he recommended."

“Australia’s extinction crisis is continuing unabated...We urgently need strong new nature laws that put protection of our unique wildlife and their habitats at the forefront.”
