But, of course the climate cultists will continue to use Russia invading Ukraine to push their cult doctrine
Climate change demands same kind of attention, collaboration as war in Ukraine
Three serious dangers have confronted the world in recent years: COVID, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and climate change. Although the COVID death rate worldwide remains over 5,000 a day, international efforts to control it have met with considerable success. But the other two threats are rapidly worsening and need immediate and continued attention.
On Feb. 28, while the world was horrified by the brutal invasion of Ukraine by Vladimir Putin’s military forces, the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was published.
Hoesung Lee, chair of the IPCC, described it as “a dire warning about the consequences of inaction. It shows that climate change is a grave and mounting threat to our wellbeing and a healthy planet.” United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres called the report “a damning indictment of failed climate leadership.”
Unfortunately, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has largely crowded out other news in most of the world. The invasion, following the long, divisive battle to control COVID, has left people with frayed nerves, too burdened with worries to think about climate change. But the radically worsening climate cries for our immediate and continued attention. (snip)
The unwillingness of many Americans to do their part in controlling COVID raises the deeply concerning possibility that too many of us may also refuse to do what’s needed to stop the world’s temperature rise and the increasingly catastrophic weather events it causes. But our failure would allow a transformation of the world into one that humans have never known and in which we were not designed to exist.
Well, you know, cultists could be as intense as they were with Wuhan flu, wearing their masks everywhere when not required, double masking, going Karen on people Not Complying, and stop using fossil fuels. Make their own lives carbon neutral. They won’t, of course.
Working together, we can preserve much of the world’s climate that we have known, the range of temperature, precipitation, and dryness in which we evolved to best exist and flourish. We must admire Svitlana Krakovska’s unwillingness to surrender to Putin and share her hope that the world will also not surrender in building a climate-resilient future.
Humanity has survived warm periods, cool periods, even a glacial period. A minor uptick of 1.5F since 1850 is no big deal.
