Did you know that over 90% of climate scientists think global warming will be so severe by 2038 or so that we& #39;ll hit temperatures shown to be hot enough to wreck the basic crops humanity relies upon for decent survival, or do you get your information from ad-dependent newspapers?

90% of experts predict +2°C.

64% project catastrophic 3-7°C by 2065-2095.

"Ben, what should we do?"

Learn about the Ecological & Climate catastrophe, and how to respond:

1. Investigate what Climate Justice means.

2. Consider what action suits you.

3. Will you focus on local action, global action, both?

4. Face reality.

& #39;In a sane world, if senior scientists who normally use understated academic language start warning of an ‘existential threat’ to human civilisation..news media would leap into action with huge headlines & in-depth coverage& #39;

‘Six Months To Avert Climate Crisis’: Climate Breakdown And The Corporate Media

In his classic science fiction novel, ‘Foundation’, Isaac Asimov posited a future in which ‘psychohistorians’ could predict outcomes based on past history and the large-scale behaviour of human...

& #39;scientists believe:

with medium confidence that there is high risk of heat waves and extreme precipitation at 2 degrees;
with medium to high confidence that agriculture is already at moderate risk, which becomes high risk around 2 degrees.& #39; https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/science-and-health/2017/1/9/14186328/risks-climate-change-graph?__twitter_impression=true">https://www.vox.com/platform/...

Severe droughts in large parts of Asia are set to impact regional and/or global food security by between 2022 - 2027, and continuously from then on.

"Our work surprised us when we saw that the threat to food security was so imminent"

Study: Food crisis imminent within next decade if no change to climate policy

Research released today shows that within the next 10 years large parts of Asia can expect increased risk of more severe droughts, which will impact regional and possibly even global food security.
