Unintended attention due to badly worded headline - harm_less - 14-07-2025
A bit of a faux pas in wording a headline of a serious issue didn't do this study any favours, and its correction provided fodder for the climate change deniers unfortunately.

climate is always changing

We have more than enough energy beaming down on our planet and driving our weather systems (wind flows) to need extraction of fossil energy that is essentially sunlight's energy from millions of years past. Very much a case of burning our candle at both ends.

It is indeed. It might well be heading in a direction we haven't seen before though, one we as a species might find difficult to survive.
And that, with a current population of 8 billion odd is a bit of an issue, one a lot of people are pretending to ignore.

Strange interpretation there. More a case of too many humans and too many of them being oblivious to their impact on our planet.

One thing I learned with the travel I have been so lucky to do over the years. We are all foreigners once we leave home. And if we leave home permanently then we become immigrants in someone else's home.
They really are us.
(Sorry, too good not to use, lol...)
My point with the population stat though, is consider the number of corpses in the event of catastrophic climate change...
