from Climate Conversations · host Robert McLean
Here at Climate Conversations we are unable to comprehend why it is many people can't understand the threats implicated in climate change - is what we are seeing wilful ignorance or actual ignorance?

And The New York Times tells readers "Europe’s Scorching Summer Puts Unexpected Strain on Energy Supply". Other climate links are: "Gas giant Santos accused of 'greenwashing' clean energy claims, in Federal Court case"; "‘One of the most progressive and environmentally conscious legal texts on the planet’: Chile’s proposed constitution and its lessons for Australia"; "The age of ‘the car is king’ is over. The sooner we accept that, the better"; "Satellite images, pictures reveal 'climate-induced humanitarian disaster of epic proportions' in Pakistan"; "Australians want green public transport options, and fast"; "Spring to bring fire and flood risk to Victoria, and a new warning system"; "Yackandandah installs first public electric vehicle charging station".
