Leute, bitte! Unterstützt die E-Petition zur #Kindergrundsicherung auf der Petitionsplattform des Deutschen Bundestages. Verbreiten ist auch hilfreich. Es bleiben 5 Tage und ca. 25.000 Menschen haben bereits gezeichnet. Und wenn ihr jetzt meint: Nützt eh nichts mehr. Sag ich euch: Doch. Die Debatte muss im Petitionsausschuss weitergeführt werden und eure Stimme zählt. #petition #petitionsausschuss #kinderarmut

"There was general agreement by more than two thirds in either country that the cost of #climate action ultimately is much smaller than the cost of #damages from #ClimateChange if no action is taken, with a slightly higher proportion agreeing in #Germany (74%) than in #France (69%)."
Landing people on the moon took political will, #science & technological know how (AKA the appliance of science)
Comparing the success of a moon landing with ecological sustainable success may appear like a false dichotomy, because, for example, mitigating #ClimateChange is a more complex challenge & involves all areas of science.
However, mitigating climate change will also require a general political will, science, for example, #ecology & technological know how.
Im' sitting looking out of the window at the continuing #rain & thinking of the people suffering from the #heat in Southern Europe.
The problem with the designation 'global warming' is that it never really captured how the #ClimateCrisis was going to shift #weather patterns.
The deniers are whispering 'see there's no great changes, we've always had this weather from time to time'... without looking beyond their garden, or caring about how others are suffering.
We need to get real & fast!
I just boosted another climate alarm bell.
Please do not let this feel like doom.
Please do not miss this paragraph from that link:
“[The paper] also makes a moral case for immediate and aggressive policies to prevent such a change from occurring, in part by showing how unequal the distribution of pain will be and ••how great the improvements could be with even small achievements in slowing the pace of warming.••”

As conditions that best support life shift toward the poles, more than 600 million people are already living outside of a crucial “climate niche,” facing more extreme heat, rising food scarcity and higher death rates.
OMG. This is the cutest thing I have seen in quite some time. 😍
