I no longer think #hurricanes are the most terrifying of #storms; not even close.

Because we #humans have pumped so much #CO2 (and #Methane) into the #atmosphere, we'll be seeing more storms like this, in more places.

"This is not planet #Earth as we found it. This is a new place—a #fire planet we have made, with an atmosphere more conducive to #combustion than at any time in the past 3 million years."

This is the beginning of the that decades of inaction regarding not mitigating ecological degradation is causing.

However, people will naturally react more to real-time events (rather than to scientific warnings aimed at preventing those climate heating-related events).

Therefore, we should encourage any politician or business person that is now reacting & aiming to mitigate climate change (better late than never). And it's never too late. Though later - has made mitigating climate change a more urgent challenge.
