when you think about the inevitable climate catastrophe and collapse of global food supply in the next 30-50 years. i.e in our lifetime or that of our children.

What action are you going to take? 💭

Buying land: #116
And planting a lot more trees.
Is exactly what I want to do.
The sooner the better!

“I wasn't worried about climate change. Now I am.”

To be clear: this is just the title of the video by a prominent physicist YouTuber. I, Nelson, am not “worried”. I know exactly what to do about Climate Change. I’m just stuck shouting into the void … 😢

Nothing to see here ... 🙈 🙃
Let's all just continue burning non-renewable fossil fuels ⛽ 🔥
that took hundreds millions of years to form 🦖 ⏳
and dump all that CO₂ and other toxic gasses into our atmosphere 😷
I'm sure it will all be fine ... 👌 🤐

The Tipping Points of Climate Change — and Where We Stand | Johan Rockström | TED: https://youtu.be/Vl6VhCAeEfQ

One day you will look back on burning non-renewable fossil fuels for leisure 🚤 ⛽ 🔥
And think: how incredibly myopic and selfish! 🤦‍♂️
We need to be doing something to fix the problem, not pretending it doesn't exist!

Note: I still maintain, that I don't "fear" climate change: #142
Fear paralyses people into "anxiety" and inaction. We need action!!

Probably doesn't help that Zim politicians are of the most corrupt in the world ... 🤦‍♂️

It's always the most vulnerable in society that suffer the most ... 😢
Be thankful you can walk up to the tap in your home and just expect it to give you clean water. 🚰
But don't be complacent because it won't be that way for ever ... ⏳

So ...? Don't live on flat land near a river? 🤷‍♂️ 💭

[carolrmc]

Flat land near a river is usually a flood plain and in times of heavy rain it is inundated, so building there is not safe Dad and I witnessed the devastation it can cause with loss of lives and lively hoods. In fact, building anywhere on a water course no matter how dry or ancient, is unwise
