Climate Central vice-president for science Andrew Pershing said the figures illustrated the “huge burden” the burning of fossil fuels imposed on people around the world

“Australia didn’t have a particularly interesting summer this year, but in Africa it’s just day after day after day of climate change just beating down on that continent.”

      I am sure we won’t get out of this.

      You’re in good company with that line of thinking

      DANIEL KAHNEMAN is not hopeful. “I am very sorry,” he told me, “but I am deeply pessimistic. I really see no path to success on climate change.”

      Kahneman’s views are widely shared by cognitive psychologists. As Daniel Gilbert of Harvard University says: “A psychologist could barely dream up a better scenario for paralysis.”

      Thay said, I keep my emisisons low, vote green, but plan for the worst while hoping for the best.

      LoL yeah. People getting upset because has prices are inconvenient.

      Wait till they see what’s around the corner with this ecological disaster. Gas prices will be the least of their worry.

      Can’t grow crops when the whole soil is too dry and the air is too hot to grow anything. Or when there’s flash floods all the time. Or extreme weather conditions and your home has been destroyed.
