When we think of climate change, it is often termed trying to keep it less than 2 degrees of change. We are at 1 (or 1.5) right now. ONE degree of change doesn’t seem like much (even 1 Celsius, which is about 2 in real degrees).
But those numbers are averages. AND as you move the averages, the extremes move even more. The graph below explains it.
And, those are world wide averages. Greenland has seen days in winter soar 50 or 70 degrees above normal for a week or two. Alaska is having massive wildfires, and they have no way to handle them. Permafrost - that is defined as ground frozen for thousands of years - is being thawed out. It ruins roads, land, homes AND releases a ton more greenhouse gases (trust me on this).
I did love in the DEM debates, someone suggested moving to high ground now. Funny. And unfortunately, true.
(From On Tyranny) 2. Defend institutions. It is institutions that help us to preserve decency. They need our help as well. Do not speak of "our institutions" unless you make them yours by acting on their behalf. Institutions do not protect themselves. They fall one after the other unless each is defended from the beginning. So choose an institution you care about -- a court, a newspaper, a law, a labor union -- and take its side.
