Tropical storm Ida may soon develop into a dangerous hurricane. So, after five decades of climate change warnings, how many more do we need to make the climate crisis our highest priority?
What an interesting (and sobering) article to read on a grey Sunday morning. Thank you! Definitely learned something new. Also love the music references. (Completely unrelated, I now feel like listening to Smoke on the Water - my brain does weird things)
Seems climate change research has been going on for numerous years and been ignored. It is really time for all governments to act. Storms are becoming more violent and frequent and the cost to lives lost and damage should certainly be an incentive to act. Thanks for historical perspective. Another terrific article. Thank you.
Since I published this article, now some 15 hours ago, Ida has indeed developped very fast into what may become a rare monster storm. I hope all people near the coastline can get out in time.
It's horrible....precisely 16 years after Katrina. Planetary security is a great initiative in all senses. Keep going and hopefully people will understand its importance in the nearby future. I watched your TED speech, could't agree more. Thank you Alexander.
The pending truth between facts and music lead us to the concrete and perhaps irrevocable present. From then to now, so many denials and unworried remarks of “let it go” and “we’ll see”.
How many real and catastrophic headlines will still impact our days?
We must
start with the necessary, then do what’s possible and suddenly we’ll be doing the impossible.

Not as unrelated as you would think: Smoke on the water was recorded in the Rolling Stones' studio, and in your country. :-)
And we're incredibly proud of that. Montreux does have a nice view over Lake Geneva.
Nice piece of work
Dank je, Heico :-)

Interesting but also sad reading. The system will come to an end when there will be no more clouds....

That's nice to hear, Priscilla. Thanks!
Perfect words.

This is Our Planet. Let’s keep Our Home.
yes, so true!
What a fascinating historic recall on climate change in the making. Bravo Alexander 👏🙏
Thanks, Marian!
Thank you, Lizzie!
