New Scientist says that the past seven days were the hottest since instrumental records began in the 1850s. The last time Earth was this warm was in the Eemian interglacial period, around 120,000 years ago. Professor Peter Stott, who leads the UK Met Office’s climate monitoring and attribution team said this week “If a few decades ago, some people might have thought climate change was a relatively slow-moving phenomenon, we are now witnessing our climate changing at a terrifying rate”.
Our scientists are terrified, and we are doing nothing. I encourage everybody to write down on a piece of paper what it will take before you do something radical. When will you act? When there is no food? When floods wreck your house? When all the birds are dead? What will it take?
This is why we must support organisation like Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil. It's approaching a point of no return for our global existence as a species. Government's have to act... Now!
