#NewAbnormal: The disturbing fact that puts everything in perspective is that this summer will likely be among the mildest summers that you and I will experience for the rest of our lives.

Harsh, doomy, but not wrong article about the inter generational injustice of climate change impacts. “In the U.S., the richest 10% produce 40% of the country's global warming pollution. Another study concluded that "a billionaire emits a million times more greenhouse gasses than the average person."” https://mastodon.social/@br00t4c/111115631499073725

#ClimateDiary Our current experience of the #NewAbnormal here in #Eastbourne #Sussex #UK: Day after day of rain (soo much rain now!) dark oppressive skies, and endless wind. I know of course that we are the lucky ones - no heatwave or floods - but even here you can feel just how unsettled everything is. We all feel it, the whole family. Plus all the news from elsewhere. Hard to get on with normal things.

#ClimateDiary like others i usually plead for #ClimateNews to be given more urgency and prominence. The #Guardian does this now, with #heatwave live updates. And even my determinedly optimistic father now sends me climate worries. Paradoxically, it’s making me feel deeply miserable: i guess somehow everyone else’s denial was actually enabling me, too, to cling on to an illusion of normality. Now it’s all the #NewAbnormal, to quote Michael Mann, and surprsingly hard
