Hi all together,

The US President considers this topic as not serious. Here in Germany there it's taken very serious, made a lot of words, but little action.

As far as I am reading now - written here quite clearly ... [1] N.Y. Times - loosing earth or as video with the current state of scientific data from the campgain XR here: [2] XR - Heading for Extinction, there had been roughly 40 years since the first urgent warnings widespread in the media. Forecasts had been overfullfilled. More extreme weather phenomena are rising in terms of draughts and floods and others. Nevertheless CO2 emissions had been rising for the last 40 years.

Science states the consequences of different levels of temperature rises. If the world and most countries would fulfill the goals which were agreed upon an avoidance to global scale temperature rise up to 2 degrees can be achieved. A mark where catastrophes will be mostly bearable for major areas in the world.

Since there had been done mostly nothing in the last 40 years it is unlikely that limitation of 2 degrees will be achieved. In higher levels of temperature rise additional tipping points [3] Tipping Points in the Climate System come into play in zones of temperature rise(melting of ice sheets, massive forest dieback,...) which will cause further acceleration to the situation.

What do you think about climate change?
Is it a joke/fake/not serious enough/lobby driven campaign for you?

Regards,
stomp
