This brilliant piece proves why you are an important voice & top influencer on this critically important matter. It’s comprehensive & relatable even for those of us with far less knowledge.

After all the terrifying data & scenarios, you end with these words, “ We have two tasks; to stop the heating and help each other prepare for the impact. That requires solidarity amongst all of us on this small heated planet.”

Let’s all work towards that.

Well done, thank you!

I could have written more about it, but climate change and inequality are closely linked, we have to solve both of these problems (and another handful) at the same time.

Il y a du contenu en français sur la page ippc qui pourrait t'intéresser:

Cependant, la majorité du contenu n'est disponible qu'en anglais.

I'm just assuming that you translated the article into French based on your name. I apologize if that's not the case.

Hello Evelyne, and thank you for these details.

Of course, I only use the translation on a strictly personal basis, to allow myself a better reading and good understanding.

I would not allow myself to distribute translations of the articles of Alexandre Verbeek !!…

But I retweet his newsletters, always very interesting !!

And only with the fonction « share ».

🙋‍♀️🇫🇷

Well spoken, Alexander. It is hard to believe that current politicians do not get nervous when getting really aware of our common situation!

Thank you, Heico. Yes and it is shocking that they are not really aware of the seriousness, nor are they aware of the solutions

If not politicians have a dot on the horizon, who has?

Thank you for putting all this together. Scary!

The paragraph about telling our grandchildren - that's exactly it. You always read about how much serious climate action would cost, but doing nothing costs so much more. Better to spend the money now that we still have a chance.
