Nooo, can we just actually put someone useful in the position and see how that will help and improve things?

And then you can't get back to sleep after....

Well it always is down to something like that, but how depressing. I always think, just how much money do you need?

Also if you are a great business person, why not diversify in what clearly needs to be future tech and infrastructure?

Fincher, Fassenbender, Tilda Swinton and Trent Reznor on the soundtrack. How could this be a no?

Why are we still pushing for coal mines? I would have thought australia would be ideal for solar in certain places.

I think keeping it in people's minds is useful. Otherwise it's easy to get wrapped up in your day to day life. I've found that climate stories are often under reported here or categorised as another issue.

It does seem to have ramped up in the last few months especially. On a local level we are really struggling to grow food (in our gardens) due to such bizarre weather and that is a tiny example of the effect.

It does feel like that but I care in my small way, it's all we can do is make small changes and contact our representatives. I've linked a template letter you can send to your representative or MP in my comment on this post.

Some crazy records being broken this year. There is also statistically outlying Antarctica ice melt but I haven't seen that story anywhere since first seeing it.

One thing you can do is write to your MP or representative.
Here is a letter template to write to your MP if you are in the uk - you could also use the template in the US or elsewhere in the world : https://www.theclimatecoalition.org/write-to-your-mp

European researchers said Thursday that the the start of June saw global surface air temperatures rise 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels for the first time. That is the limit governments said they would try to limit global warming to at a 2015 summit in Paris.

 

What has everyone got for their dad's, who are usually particularly hard to buy for?

Also, to add a caveat, totally fine to have a complicated relationship with your dad. If this is the case, please be kind to yourself and ignore this post!

 

Unfortunately I downvoted what I thought was a bot yesterday and now the post is showing up in my profile under boost. It's not the kind of content I want attached to my profile and removing the downvote hasn't done anything.

I think it's a known issue but the boost tab in the profile seems to be a bit buggy and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas?
