Climate change: how bad could the future be if we do nothing?

I developed this table of impacts for my book 📕 ‘Climate Change: A Very Short Introduction’ based on the @IPCC_CH 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022 reports

Beyond 1.5°C #ClimateChange impacts gets worse and worse

Observation: It is increasingly difficult for the general public to understand current infectious disease threats here due to well-organized disinformation campaigns, misinterpreting & over-interpreting of data by some, overconfidence, meaningful debate & general uncertainty.

@Kayne_AA @CBCTheNational Sorry you feel that way. Paul was given more leeway & more salary than any other leader and still complained. Most people don’t know the facts.

RWingers more interested in exercising control over non-RW electorate, fearing novelty & change. Like Iranian mullahs.

@SoniaFurstenau Physicians eliminating patients from their practice for
"personal and professional reasons", adding to the million BC citizens without a primary care doctor.

Warning to all people in Ontario: Ford is punching down to take away the Charter rights of the lowest paid education workers. Whose rights is he coming after next? #onpoli

Here are some key facts to help understand today's tribunal ruling: 1) the Tribunal ordered Canada to pay 40K in human rights compensation back in 2019 2) that order was upheld by the Federal Court in 2021 3) Canada said it wanted to give victims more money via a class action...

I am not a partisan, but the leader of the BC Green Party, @SoniaFurstenau, asked an excellent question of @adriandix this morning:

In light of recent revelations, "How can we trust his word and the word of the Provincial Health Officer?"

Mr. Dix did not answer the question.

I very much enjoyed this conversation with Nigel Beale about George Orwell

Our #forests are being logged faster than they can regrow, turning a supposed sustainable industry into a #carbon-emitting bombshell. @bsaxifrage writes for @NatObserver. https://t.co/b2JLUWVeZF #bcpoli #nbpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli #forest #nspoli

Electoral reform can save Canada from Pierre Poilievre's politics https://t.co/PQxrp4G5cA via @NatObserver

Petro Peter and the PCs ain’t interested in democratic reform when the present system delivers a false majority with 35% of the popular vote.

@j_pedneault @ElizabethMay @AmitaKuttner You just lost my donation. Instead of putting this incident in perspective, you have let this manufactured crisis overshadow the really important issues faced by the country and the planet. Very disappointing.

[Dave Charles @BCBiketrekker]

@sarmcbride @j_pedneault @ElizabethMay @AmitaKuttner A “teaching moment” lost.

@Goddessonloose Sorry to loose you but feel that only a masochist could continue to lead such a dysfunctional group.
