I know it's sometimes cathartic to be a doomer about #ClimateChange and to decry the UK for not taking it seriously enough.
But the reality is quite different.
Could we do more? Yes.
Should you vote for greener policies? Yes.
Is it all doom and gloom? No!

The warming ocean is leaving coastal economies in hot water

"Scientists estimate that more than 90% of the excess heat produced by human activities has been taken up by the ocean. That warming, hidden for years in data of interest only to oceanographers, is now having profound consequences for coastal economies around the world."

If we had proper news media in the US Americans would be looking at what's going on in Europe right now.
Europeans voted for their equivalent of the House of Representatives today and the first results show, as predicted, that pro-Putin, climate-change deniers, pro-life, anti-LGBTQ+ fascist parties are closer and closer to take control of Europe.
In Germany voters under 30 went "in droves" to the far right.
Same in France.
In short Europe is becoming a deep Red State and that should worry you.

I've been thinking that climate fiction that imagines a future where we actually fight the crisis, a future worth fighting for, is super subversive (and it is) but I'm coming around to thinking that encouraging folks (even ones who aren't "writers") to engage in that imaginative act--imagine the future you want and what it would take to get there--is 100% part of how we fight this.

Across the globe, insect populations have seen a steep decline.
According to a meta-analysis of 16 studies, insect populations have declined by about 45% in just the last 40 years.
The large-scale death of insects poses huge threats not only to the ecosystems they exist in but also to much of our agriculture, as insects pollinate about 75% of global crops.
Two driving causes of the marked fall off are climate change and habitat loss.
