Climate dystopia: Pakistan's devastating floods suggest the crossing of climate rubicon; Joëlle Gergis writes about 'Humanity's Moment'

from Climate Conversations · host Robert McLean

Joëlle Gergis writes about "Humanity's Moment: A climate scientist's case for hope" and the publication of that new book coincides, coincidently, with Pakistan's devastating new floods, discussed in the SBS story: "‘Climate dystopia at our doorstep’: Tens of millions battle Pakistan floods as death toll rises". Other climate crisis stories are: "‘Extremely dangerous’ heat will be much more common by 2100"; "Humanity's Moment: A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope"; "Major sea-level rise caused by melting of Greenland ice cap is ‘now inevitable’"; "Australia's  Black Summer bushfires were catastrophic enough. Now scientists say  they caused a 'deep, long-lived' hole in the ozone layer"; "What to Know About California’s Ban on New Gasoline-Powered Cars"; "What’s going on with the Greenland ice sheet? It’s losing ice faster than  forecast and now irreversibly committed to at least 10 inches of sea  level rise"; "Drought around the world, August 2022, in dramatic images"; "Plibersek has power to stop mega-projects of coal and gas"; "‘It’s not radical’: Push to ban old polluting trucks from capital cities"; " "7-star housing is a step towards zero carbon – but there’s much more to do, starting with existing homes". Enjoy "Music for a Warming World".
