Eighty of Australia's top academics have written an open letter declaring an "urgent need for deep cuts" to Australia's greenhouse gas emissions following the current unprecedented bushfire crisis.

The group of Australian Research Council (ARC) Laureate Fellows describe Australia as "ground zero for both climate impacts and climate policy uncertainty" and warn that without strong action on climate change, the world may not support human societies "in their current form and maintain human well-being".

They say research has identified what policies and technologies are needed to address the solution but "what is lacking is the courage to implement them at the required scale".

The letter calls on Australian governments to "acknowledge the gravity of the threat posed by climate change driven by human activities" and "reduce greenhouse gas emissions in time to safeguard against catastrophe".

Of course, being academics, the parcel of shonky lawyers and businessmen who make up our current government will ignore them...

Microsoft has announced it aims to remove more carbon from the atmosphere than it emits by 2030. Plus, the company hopes to have removed enough carbon to account for all the direct emissions it has ever produced by 2050.

Also of note is Britain's plan to cease sales of new petrol and hybrid cars by 2035. In Australia we'll still be commissioning new coal mines at that point.

Yebbut, you'll be dead from PFAS poisoning, so why should you care?

Climate change: Loss of bumblebees driven by 'climate chaos'

"Climate chaos" has caused widespread losses of bumblebees across continents, according to scientists.

A new analysis shows the likelihood of a bee being found in any given place in Europe and North America has declined by a third since the 1970s.

Climbing temperatures will increasingly cause declines, which are already more severe than previously thought, said researchers.
Bumblebees are key pollinators of many fruits, vegetables and wild plants.
Without them, some crops could fail, reducing food for humans and countless other species.

Dr Tim Newbold of University College London (UCL) said there had been some previous research showing that bumblebee distributions are moving northwards in Europe and North America, "as you'd expect with climate change".

He added: "But this was the first time that we have been able to really tie local extinctions and colonisations of bumble bees to climate change, showing a really clear fingerprint of climate change in the declines that we've seen."...

...according to scientists...

That's automatically fake news to Cunt...

Weird academic suggests a radical solution to the climate crisis.

A good presentation on the very real phenomena of climate change from one of the most affected hot spots.

Yeah you have to keep scrolling it..nothing happens till you do.

For the third time now:

Remember a few decades ago when we were going to run out of food?

No.

After that, we were going to run out of trees.

Don't remember that either.

The story started out WAY back in the day, being called 'Chicken Little'.

Here are a couple recent chapters...

That Time magazine cover is a fake. It's been pointed out to you not so long ago, but I suppose you're just into full-on trolling mode.

OK, but I still have doubts. They start with the phrase 'climate change'.

It's nonsensical. It really is the same as saying 'daylight change'.

The climate has been changing - unstoppably - forever.

I don't want to grant an angry teen the power to stop 'climate change'. I would be happy if 'climate change alarmism' was outed as dangerous though.

By the way, is Patrick Moore credible? I'm looking for criticism of this silly notion that you might accept...
