Meanwhile the earth is burning

“The Amazon Rain forest is effectively dead, as it no longer has the capacity to renew itself.”

I would dispute this. Latest research suggests that rain forests can regenerate to 78% of their old growth status within 20 years.

Ironically one of the reasons given for the rise in sea temperature around our southern coasts is the fall in particulates being emitted from shipping in the Channel into the atmosphere along with a fall in dust from the Sahara - both of which reflect the sun's rays back towards space.

I belong to the Earth Holder Community, XR, Greenpeace and support Sussex Wildlife. I believe that we need to live our own lives in an ecologically aware way and to talk to others about this situation in order to be able to cope psychologically with it.. I also read Positive News Magazine to keep track of some good news stories from around the world.. we can only act responsibly and continue to put pressure on Government and the Big Industrial Industries through on-line petitions etc or we will become overwhelmed with grief with this rapid decline in our beautiful planet.. be aware and act mindfully

Interesting viewpoint nanna8. Time will tell I suppose but we won't be around to see it. Fingers crossed for DGSs.

Well they will be able to grow stuff in the Arctic and Antarctic then and you can look forward to a great grape harvest in the UK. It is certainly not getting warmer here, colder every year. I think it is more climate shifting round and the cold countries becoming warmer. Definitely changing but not as straight forward as everywhere getting warmer.

So worrying and yes people seem uninterested and dismissive. Honestly I don't know what can be done . Why can't people see it , and do they care

Parts of the world are now going to regularly see temperatures at or above 50c, which is no longer inhabitable to life.

All the hype about AI being an existential threat to humanity is so ironic, when the climate threat is staring us in the face.
