Janet, thank you for representing those of us who see the world as it is -- tipping ever more rapidly towards global mass extinction (humans most definitely included!). Given that the government has been totally captured by special interests who can't see past their monumental greed to be wealthier tomorrow than they are today -- until the bubble bursts into chaos. My only hope is that AI will soon take over and provide the singularity of purpose required to mobilize everybody and everything to reverse the global energy balance from heating at an accelerating rate, to actually beginning to cool.
At 86 and increasingly crippled with arthritis I'm too old and slow to be an effective activist, but I still follow the science closely (even when it is too depressingly final to write about it). Perhaps we can get together sometime when you are in Melbourne.
Thank you for taking a risk to help remind everyone of the importance of taking climate change seriously. I just learned today that in the town where I work, there used to be regular ice fishing derbies in the winter in the 90s and that the Connecticut River used to regularly freeze with thick ice. That doesn't seem to be the norm anymore. It is a cultural loss for people as well as an environmental loss.
