Well Andrew, that advice about contraception to address climate change was very helpful. Just as helpful as the Nigerian bloke who emailed me a few weeks ago offering me half of $50 million…

Incredible really. Scientists and organisations like NASA spend millions on collecting data on anthropogenic climate change and scatterbrains employ all manner of self-deception to deny what is in front of us.

Hardly surprising but. There are entire communities in the US that deny evolution and opt for something called Creation Science. Morons.

The current atmospheric CO2 level is approximately 120ppm above pre-industrial normal (280ppm) that allowed current economic-social arrangements to develop, and is approximately 170ppm above the 800,000-year long-term average (230ppm) that fostered humanity.

Additionally, atmospheric methane (with a global warming potential over 100 times that of carbon dioxide for time frames that matter) is now approximately 2000ppb, three times the baseline level.

The gross geochemical imbalance that currently exists will continue to be exacerbated by continued burning of fossil fuels throughout most of the world, and the commensurate destabilisation of permafrost etc.

Sea level rise (already gaining pace) will ‘go exponential’ over coming decades, as will the climate chaos associated with ever-higher levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

No government will do a thing to prevent the burgeoning catastrophe, and will actually do everything they can to accelerate the meltdown, the wants of money-lenders and corporations coming before people or a living planet every time.

The disease that is industrial civilisation has much in common with cancer; the full effects will be witnessed after the initial ‘infection’.

Climate change denier have much in common with those who visit a person with terminal cancer and say: “See, he’s still alive.”

Cheers Leonie thanks for the support

Yeah I always know when I accidently land on the ZB station because there is always some loud as white commentator saying horrible racist/classicist/sexist… things. Why ZB thinks it is ok to give these types of people a platform is beyond me.

Hey Robert I can have a read tomorrow morn just working a double today

Kia ora I have sub editors but they do miss typos, it happens. I find people who pick on spelling because they are unable to really engage in any meaningful conversation in response to what I have written.

Guy had to get into this conversation somewhere, especially as he counsels us that given the future we’re heading into we need to act with “compassion, courage, and creativity.”

Thanks for that, BP. I’ve shared it with a FB group I belong to.
