Meanwhile, Congress dithers over a few trillion dollars that could begin to change our nation's emissions course and help save us all from a flaming nightmare While Republicans dependent on fossil fuel and other billionaires in the "Koch Network" continue to deny even the existence of man-made global warming, the
IPCC just came out with their first report to say that there's
absolute certainty that much of the extreme weather our planet is experiencing is caused by our burning fossil fuels into the atmosphere.
There is no longer any doubt that global warming is here and wreaking havoc, the report says; the science is "unequivocal." Over 14,000 different peer-reviewed studies were used to compile this report, and its results are stunning.
The Secretary General of the United Nations, António Guterres said this moment represents "a code red for humanity" and adds, "There is no time for delay and no room for excuses."
Meanwhile, Congress dithers over a few trillion dollars that could
begin to change our nation's emissions' course and help save us all from a flaming nightmare.
But instead of CO2, methane and nitrous oxide emissions declining, the report points out that global emissions of all three continue, and the rate of emission continues to increase. As a result, we're close to hitting an absolute ceiling of 1.5 degrees Celsius that, if passed, will turn the world into a hellscape for humans and most other animals and plants.
