The right-wing Climate Change deniers jump on every opportunity to twist the truth and use it to insult and criticize this young woman for being brave enough to speak up.  The viciousness and cruelty is unconscionable.  

When the shit hits the fan they’ll wish they listened to facts and reason and not the lies and propaganda pushed by greedy fossil fuel interests.

Dangerous slowing of Antarctic ocean circulation sooner than expected

Climate change-driven shifts in the circulation of waters to the deepest reaches of the ocean around Antarctica, which could reverberate across the planet and intensify global warming, are happening decades "ahead of schedule", according to new research.

The climate models initially used by scientists forecast significant changes by 2050 through the end of the century.  Current technology, information and data sets have changed that timeline to 2030, sooner than expected.  

And not only for the Antarctic.  Melting of the Greenland ice sheet, the permafrost and sea ice in the Arctic, glaciers in Europe and around the world, severe droughts, sea level rise - ALL happening faster than expected.  El Nino is expected to intensify temperature increases MAKING THE NEXT FIVE YEARS THE HOTTEST ON RECORD.  

A well-known climate scientist and activist said to put a note on your refrigerator door that says “We’re running out of food”.  Leave it there, don’t take it off.  It’s a reminder to prepare NOW for worldwide food supply disruptions due to coming crop failures.  

Global starvation and malnutrition “at biblical proportions” according to the United Nations. Hundreds of millions of people are already on the edge - double the number of people prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

World’s wheat supply at risk of a dangerous shock due to heat and drought, study warns

New research outlines a worst-case scenario in which extreme weather hammers winter wheat crops in both the U.S. Midwest and northeastern China in the same year.

Be prepared for these and other failures of basic food staples.  Stock up and don’t tell anyone.  People around the world are already at risk of starvation and climate change is going to make it worse.
