Al Gore on recent extreme weather events.

The most recent edition of NYT's Climate Forward newsletter included excerpts from an interview with Al Gore. The newsletter is available for subscription here: https://www.nytimes.com/newsletters/climate-change

From the article:

“Every night on the TV news is like taking a nature hike through the Book of Revelation,” Gore said.
...
“Fossil fuel companies are desperately trying to use their political and economic networks and their successful capture of policy in too many countries to slow down this transition,” he said. “They don’t disclose their emissions. They don’t have any phase-out plan. They’re not committed to a real net zero pathway. They’re greenwashing. They’re performing anti-climate plotting.”

Gore is particularly livid about the fact that fossil fuel companies continue to play a major role at the annual United Nations climate change conference known as COP (full name: Conference of the Parties to the United Nations climate convention).
...
“The climate crisis is in the main a fossil fuel crisis,” Gore told me. “If the world is not permitted to discuss the phasing down of fossil fuels because the fossil fuel companies don’t want the world to discuss it, that’s the sign of a very flawed process.”

Meanwhile the media on @RealPlanetEarth devotes half of its current "news coverage" to whether TFG should eat a jaywalking ticket for acts of treason, fraud, rape, etc.

Thank you, Hay Rick, for posting Al's dose of the Inconvenient TRUTH.

Far too many ignore this instead of trying to conserve and asking governments to help.

The huge truth: we're over-populating the planet.

3. The problem starts with overpopulation.

Overpopulation creates overconsumption and over-depletion of resources. The "solution" will involve reducing the population and/or reducing the carbon footprint (and other environmental costs) per person until we get to a sustainable equilibrium. Unfortunately, our delayed and hitherto insufficient response will be paid mostly in avoidable misery and death.

The 3 S’s Solution: Simplicity, Sharing, Service.

5. And mandating only one or...

At most 2 children per couple. I think China's one child per couple is best.

It's either that or have these offsprings die too early. Too grim to contemplate? Yes, but it will definitely eventually happen if we do not cut back population increases. Our planet just cannot support this many people.
