Stop Fixating on Kate's Photoshopping and Pay Attention to This Unaltered Reality: 365 Consecutive Days of Record-Breaking Global Sea Surface Temperatures.
Stop Fixating on Kate's Photoshopping and Pay Attention to This Unaltered Reality: 365 Consecutive Days of Record-Breaking Global Sea Surface Temperatures.
Both graphs I used are deeply worrying, and it makes me wonder why we have all seen dozens of photos and articles about Kate's photoshopping while you haven't seen these charts in your newspaper.
Extremely disturbing news that was not prioritized by the click bait media. Thank you for refocusing our attention on things that are existential and informative. You mention our descendants asking what did you do? Would you share ideas as to how to be useful in these tipping points? The planet 🌍 is dying and we worry and focus on political theatre and trivia, nonsense, Oscar dresses and such. How very ludicrous. The lack of foresight is an abomination.
In our world where information of all kinds (scandal press, political, economic press, major press report...) intersect and telescope at an incredible speed, the latest information often erases the previous one in the minds of readers... caught in the grip of the media flow.
This article was very complex to structure and write!So Thank you Alex for the choice of this very prominent subject and the clarity of your words 🙏👌
Are the media (any medium combined) involved?Or is it the readers who can no longer select?Are loybings at the origin of the minimization of crucial information concerning the future of our world ?
Do the commercial interests of some presses prioritize what sells like the « Kategate »?
Do they make "populism" their new rules by neglecting the ethical principles of journalism: knowing in their publications, distinguishing the essentials from what is very incidental...
In the search for what could be of interest to the majority of their readers: don't they also have a major role in raising awareness, alerting (without erasing all daily information...)?
Raising readers' awareness on a permanent and regular basis would surely lead to a real awareness...
Certainly expert journalists and specialists have the right to speak!
And they are increasingly didactic, educational, to be assimilated by the greatest number of readers 👍
But is the place that the media stratosphere does it leave sufficient space and visibility for these latter?
And, why also, and for example, not start teaching at school the fundamental principles of respect for our environment?
Like civic education?
It is also, I believe, a whole education that must be built to move from awareness to the involvement of readers from "7 to 77 years old".
And this with the aim that this fight for the protection of the environment remains present in our minds, without the latest information (even terrible, like the current wars), erasing what should be transmitted through reading, education, heredity ….
and perhaps even one day, in the futur, by our genes ?
But to answer your final question... l see that so many elements are at stake and fit into each other, that it will be difficult for a father or mother to answer her child: but why?
Especially if his child has not been educated, in a positive way, from his youth to the basic rules of protecting our environment.
Again, Alex, brilliant!!! I have ENTIRELY ignored the Princess’ photoshopping debacle, but the news cycle so obviously refuses to move on! This beautiful and heartbreaking piece, hooks with humor, and shatters w/the truth!! 🙏🏻🤩
Absolutely! Indeed! Amen! Thank you! Sheesh the things we find more important are freaking astounding!

Rather than examining Princess Kate’s photoshopping skills, how about we focus on this:
“One of the world's seven natural wonders is dying, and most of us haven't even heard of it!"
Where are our priorities when we place tabloids fodder above the livability of our planet and the creatures on it?
Thank you, Alex,for having your priorities straight and helping your readers to also.
