@breadandcircuses That’s because not enough Americans have passports and when they do use them sometimes never leave the resort, or never go shopping for food in neighborhoods. Get away from the hotel, go buy some fruit or snacks in a corner store and try new things, not American style food you can get anywhere. Even a big box store like a Carrefour is an experience to see the cheese section, the fresh seafood on ice or an aisle of chocolate bars. Educate your tastebuds.

I've taken the liberty of editing a graphic that compares the impacts of global heating from 1.5°C up to 4.0°C above pre-industrial levels.

The first image shown below [original source in comment that follows] states that heating of up to 2C is what we can expect by the year 2100. As for 3C and 4C, those impacts will not be felt until "Hundreds of years from now."

Which is plainly ridiculous. So, in the second image, I added warnings about the actual observed rate of global heating and the probable increase in temperatures during the next several decades.

I certainly *wish* that 3C and 4C were hundreds of years away, but they're not. In reality, 1.5C will likely be upon us before we know it, and we'll hit 2C by 2040, if not sooner. On our present course, 3C is almost a certainty this century, and 4C or even higher cannot be ruled out.

When did calling a liar a liar become a greater offense than *actually lying*?

I warned people years ago in my Tedx talk. There will be climate-change related FAMINES in places that never knew them before.

"After the news of historic anticipated wheat failures in Kansas, farmers in Alberta, Canada, are now warning of "zero wheat production." Soil moisture is so low, crops are dying in the ground. "It’s something that we’ve never experienced before."" https://globalnews.ca/news/9761043/dry-spring-southern-albertan-farmers-zero-production/

Extremely dry spring leaves southern Albertan farmers on the road to ‘zero production’

With little to no precipitation since mid April in areas south of Calgary,  some farmers are already predicting crop losses.

#Farage, a far right extremist who wants to privatise the whole of the #NHS, is given screen time by the BBC to spit his bile across the airwaves. Our licence fee shouldn't be used to spread poison. #RejoinEU #ToryCorruption #ToryGaslighting
@davidallengreen It’s all your fault. Or maybe someone else’s. Definitely not his.
