Global warming :: is it just a 'chinese hoax' like trump told us or is it serious?

Human-caused climate change -- generated by carbon, methane and
other greenhouse gas emissions from industry, transportation, and
agriculture -- has led to a "new normal" with more days of extreme
temperatures than in recorded history. The studies published AUG 26
provide more evidence that both hot and cold extremes can be deadly.

This year has already seen hundreds of deaths related to an historic heat wave in the US West.
By the end of the century, more than half of the global population is projected to be exposed to weeks of dangerous heat every year.

We get your point. 

You believe there is a problem. Now discuss how you would like to see the problem solved. 

moe than likely next year will be another ewxtreme year for heat          and unprecedented deaths bcuz of  it

Yes,  I see they are already predicting this.

HHS Establishes Office of Climate Change and Health Equity

Protecting Americans’ health and well-being has always been at the heart of fighting climate change, and now for the first time, its importance is being elevated at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). HHS is establishing the Office of Climate Change and Health Equity (OCCHE) in response to President Biden’s Executive Order Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad.
This is the first office of its kind at the national level to address climate change and health equity. The Office’s mission is to protect vulnerable communities who disproportionately bear the brunt of pollution and climate-driven disasters, such as drought and wildfires, at the expense of public health.

good move by hhs 

How will the Office of Climate Change and Health Equity be protecting vulnerable families from climate change? 

Is this *finally* the moment
we wake up to the climate crisis?

Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large

Record flooding in Philadelphia and New York City.
Tornadoes in New Jersey.
Fires burning through California and Nevada.
Everywhere you look, extreme weather.
Weather the likes of which even meteorologists and other experts say
they  have never seen before.

What's perhaps more remarkable is that we know why all of this is happening:
Our changing climate. As the Earth warms, more extreme weather becomes
more of the rule rather than its exception.

In April, the World Meteorological Organization released a report detailing
a five-fold increase in the number of extreme weather events over the past
five decades.
The WMO, which is part of the United Nations, estimated that those
extreme weather events have left more than 2 million people around
the globe dead and cost $3.64 trillion in total losses.

There is no debate within the scientific community that we are currently
living through the first major impacts of the warming planet -- and that,
unless critical changes are made soon, things will get significantly worse.

"Bottom line is that we have zero years left to
avoid dangerous climate change, because it's here,"
said Michael E. Mann, a lead author of the United Nations'
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report on climate,
which came out in mid-August.

scary stuff

our negligence & arrogance ( includes all countries ) in pursuit of almighty buck at the expense of the air we breathe is bad enuf but it has even graver consequences than that     rising sea levels   extreme weather killing many thousands now and soon millions     flooding that destroys crops we need and property

almost every rightwing media paying no attention to this at all

of course

50 years, 2,000,000 lives, $3 trillion, for the entire world … is that a lot? 

Costs can increase exponentially as global temperature rise and remain high longer.  Multiple studies found the benefits of fighting climate change exceed the costs of inaction eventually in the long term.

The cost of “fighting climate change”… 

Whats the definition of “fighting climate change”? 

Where does the money come from? 

exactly

except that paying now would interfere with republicans making mega profits so it wont ever happen until the dems win the wh and also have large filibuster-proof majorities in both chambers of congress

which is never

happily i likely wont b around to witness the catastrophe and massive suffering when it happens bigly in 20 - 25 yrs

Our planet is on a 'catastrophic' global warming path,
new UN report shows

By Rachel Ramirez, CNN

(CNN)The planet is careening toward warming of 2.7 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels -- far above what scientists say the world should be targeting -- according to a report on global emissions targets by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Scientists have said that the planet needs to slash 45% of its emissions by 2030 to reach carbon neutrality by mid-century. But under current emissions commitments from countries there will be a 16% increase in emissions in 2030 compared to 2010 levels, according to the report.
That would lead the planet to warm to 2.7 degrees above pre-industrial levels, the report says.

*BAD NEWS

every day   it gets worse

Billionaires contribute more to the Democratic Party than to the Republican Party. 

Gates, Bezos, Branson and Bloomberg in billionaires’ club to mine raw materials in Greenland

Prediction: billionaires will use their influence to make you believe their is a problem and then magically, they’ll be selling the solution to that problem 

Scientists have said global temperatures should remain below 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels to stave off the worse consequences of the climate crisis. A UN report in August showed global temperature is already around 1.2 degrees of warming.

The planet is on a 'catastrophic' global warming path,
new UN report shows

By Rachel Ramirez, CNN

In a statement about today's report, UN Secretary-General António Guterres called the planet's current path "catastrophic."

"This is breaking the promise made six years ago to pursue the 1.5-degree Celsius goal of the Paris Agreement," Guterres said. "Failure to meet this goal will be measured in the massive loss of lives and livelihoods."
