According to the Secretary of the UN, António Guterres, and the worldwide majority of climate scientists, Armageddon is already on its way. In the next three years, global temperature will have risen over the danger line of a 1.5 degree increase. A lot of people battled by mainstream and social media are looking the other way, just hoping someone will fix it. The disaster could be prevented, but climate crisis denial is being sponsored by many, very wealthy sources. Our Government is simply greenwashing. The opposition majority isn’t much better. As a Nobel prize-winning poet (guess who) wrote, LET US NOT TALK FALSELY NOW, THE HOUR IS GETTING LATE.
