“The scale of change we are witnessing should be a wake-up call for every policymaker at this conference.”

This quote from Dr James Kirkham at the Bonn climate conference in Germany could well extend to every inhabitant of our planet. The new assessment dramatically changed the Paris Agreement goal of some 8 years ago, based primarily on the progression of melting glaciers and ice sheets.

Each new conference and report is evidence of our continuing failures to take the action necessary to sustain a livable planet. Policymakers are distracted by pressing social and political matters or beguiled by the charms of special interest money that buys their votes. When 3.5 BILLION people are in imminent danger of losing the homes, countries,lives how can we not act and act immediately?

Thank you for bringing this report as deeply distressing as it is.

I would like to welcome this new challenging group AMI who’s serious affirmation is based on events and highlights “new findings on the global impacts of melting ice sheets, glaciers, and permafrost” .

This AMI group, as you write: … “exemplifies the approach we should embrace, refusing to give up, is bolstering their case with compelling evidence from esteemed scientists, and rallying nations with divergent interests around our shared objective of safeguarding our only home: Earth.”

Thanks to you and them.

If only developed nations could react to the climate crisis as quickly and effectively as they did in developing a covid vaccine! We know it is possible, we just need the willpower.

I hope you will keep us informed of the AMI Groups’ consensus and recommendations as they will likely be drowned by the hysteria of the warring factions as the MSM suck up the oxygen and profits while speculating at this point the future of Trumpism and the man himself in the USA.
