The warn­ings about the cli­mate emer­gency are com­ing in fast and furi­ous, yet pub­lic aware­ness and polit­i­cal action remain at a low lev­el. The lat­est report is from the World Mete­o­ro­log­i­cal Orga­ni­za­tion, a UN agency. Its direc­tor said, The impacts of cli­mate change” are often felt through water — more intense and fre­quent droughts, more extreme flood­ing, more errat­ic sea­son­al rain­fall and accel­er­at­ed melt­ing of glac­i­ers — with cas­cad­ing effects on economies, ecosys­tems, and all aspects of our dai­ly lives.” There is an urgent need for col­lec­tive action to avoid irre­versible tip­ping points. Mean­while, The Guardian reports, fos­sil fuel cor­po­ra­tions are mak­ing astro­nom­i­cal amounts of mon­ey.” Polit­i­cal­ly, the mit­i­ga­tion mea­sures tak­en so far are woe­ful­ly inad­e­quate. Peo­ple are dis­tract­ed. They know more about the World Cup than the cli­mate crisis.
