A week after the IPCC report
A recent interview about the latest IPCC report on climate change
Last week, when the IPCC report came out, I had an interview of about ten minutes on A News. I often share the link on social media later on the same day, but I didn’t receive it and forgot about it. Now I coincidentally found it on Facebook, so I will add a button that directly links to the interview for those of you still interested.
Have you noticed how climate change was only briefly the main item in the news? This is what I said about that in the interview last week:
“It is difficult for the mainstream media to present climate change as a long-term issue that needs to get attention every day. But if you look at the importance; it is the future of our world, of our lives, of our children, and their children that is at stake.
There can’t be anything more important than preserving the planet that we are living on.“

Your words in the interview could not have been more prophetic!
Just as you stated, within days the very ominous climate report is pushed aside by other news & forgotten by most. As horrible as the current news is, the climate emergency is still the most important. History will record the events of this week but unless the climate crisis is given the urgent attention it demands, there will be no more history.
This is a great & timely interview with unequaled importance. As always, your insights & keen perceptions of this monumentally consequential mandate is exactly what we need to hear.
Well done!
It’s exasperating how the media does not focus on the climate crisis (not “change”). They cover only the breaking news of the day that quickly changes minute by minute or hour by hour. The climate crisis affects all aspects of our lives. Alex, I appreciated your thoughtful, well informed and defined words.
