Why aren't Australia Institute live tracking:
1. how many deaths are caused by not leaving that gas in the ground?

What areas in your life are you in the top 10%? Maybe the top 1%? You can probably name a few.

"The #world will exceed 1.5°C of #warming above preindustrial levels by 2050. Despite some success in reducing the trajectory of #global #emissions, achieving the 2015 Paris Agreement "stretch goal" of 1.5°C is no longer plausible. Limiting #temperature rise to 2°C will be extremely challenging and requires additional policy effort."

Remember - Jim Hansen is forecasting 1.7 degrees of warming during the 2026-7 El Nino

Face à l'État, le ressentiment des gouvernés

Pourquoi, en France, les gouvernés s'en prennent-ils autant à l'État ? Le sociologue Alexis Spire montre que cette défiance n'est pas un caprice : elle se nourrit, au contact d'un État qui promet et abandonne. Il est rejoint par l'écrivain Bertrand Guillot.
