Climate News: Personal experience illustrates that if we feel something is important and needs to be attended to, we should act now - 'later' is simply too late

from Climate Conversations · host Robert McLean

It doesn’t work anymore";"In the Trump era of America first, scientists fear for the future of Antarctica";"More than $9 billion in renewable energy projects fast-tracked in two years";"Scientists Warn ‘Garbage’ Models Underestimate Risk of Economic Collapse From Climate Crisis";"Abbott, Boyce and Trump – three ways to deny a warming world";"Making polluters pay could fix Australia’s climate problem – and its budget";"Chance of El Niño forming in Pacific Ocean may push global temperatures to record highs in 2027".
