If global temperature levels are the easiest way of understanding the pace & seriousness of climate change, then its pretty clear we've not been dong a good job of trying to arrest global warning.

Already weather has become increasingly erratic & the effects of climate change are ever more obvious... looking at the incline on this graph can only lead you to conclude that we are not doing anything like enough!

The problem is our political leaders see it otherwise...

#climate #GlobalWarming

@ChrisMayLA6 let's face it, our political leaders, at least in democracies, are our leaders because we elected them.
The American voter elected a felon, who says that #ClimateChange is a hoax, but believes that legal immigrants from Haiti eat cats and dogs and are illegally in the US. This is what just was elected ... Don't tell me that it's politicians who don't take decisive action against the looming #ClimateBreakdown. It's the majority of voters who think cheaper groceries and white supremacy are worth electing a climate denying, demented, pathological liar and con man into the White House. That is who is not doing nearly enough #WeThePeople ...
@RulesBuster @ChrisMayLA6 Well, roughly a third voted for him. And another third didn't care. But that does mean a third voted against him.
In the UK likewise, although Labour won a "landslide", they did so with a near record low number of votes.
So it's not true for everyone that their leaders are who they voted for. In fact it's a characteristic of many democracies that generally *most* people get the leader they didn't vote for.
@RulesBuster @ChrisMayLA6 (It's a bit different in countries like France which have run-off elections, combine that with compulsory voting like they have in Brazil or Australia and you could argue that at least half of people would get the leader they'd voted for, though in practice the result doesn't seem much better…)
