The Climate Waits for No One
Thirty years ago, a friend of mine got into the green energy business and tried to pull me into it. I asked him what for, it isn’t serious. He said, “You have no idea how much money is being poured into it. Everyone wants in on it, politicians, financiers, businesspeople, the lot.” He was right, of course. Yet, no one wants to promote green energy in order to save the planet, but only to swell up their pockets even more. The declarations, therefore, remain in the assembly hall where they are stated, necessary actions are ignored, and the climate waits for no one: It will keep deteriorating.
This week in Glasgow, Scotland, the 26th UN Climate Change Conference is taking place. Officially, it aims to “bring parties together to accelerate action towards the goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.” In reality, the countries plan to do the exact opposite. This year’s UN Production Gap Report, which tracks the discrepancy between governments’ planned fossil fuel production and actual global production levels, states the following: “Despite increased climate ambitions and net-zero commitments, governments still plan to produce more than double the amount of fossil fuels in 2030 than what would be consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C [2.7°F].”
Energy sources and technologies do change, but not according to what is best for the planet. It changes according to the interests of politicians and money moguls, and it never benefits the planet or the majority of its inhabitants, namely all of us.
Since the climate waits for no one, eventually, it will catch up with us. Earth is a closed system, and in a closed system, there are consequences to exploitation: it hurts the abuser as well as the abused.
I don’t know when or at what cost, but eventually, we will all have to realize that we cannot take beyond what we need. We cannot keep exploiting Earth selfishly and thoughtlessly because it will turn against us.
Earth is like a submarine: there is only so much oxygen on board. If some crew members take more than their quota, the rest will not have enough, they will die, and the submarine will sink along with those who exceeded their quota.
We need constant reminders that we are one system, and we are all dependent on each other. We need to genuinely grasp that selfishness hurts us just as being exploitative hurts others. If we constantly remind ourselves that we are interdependent, we will behave with more consideration, and we will avoid the punitive impact of climate change.
The other option is to keep working as the UN’s Production Gap Report states that we are planning to work, and suffer nature’s unforgiving response. I hope we wise up in time because everyone will pay the price for this mistake.
Why did every Florida House Republican vote against additional disaster aid yesterday? Why are they and DeSantis taking private donations instead of public trackable ones so we know they aren't misusing the money? 22 billion left from COVID relief. Why is DeSantis not using it?
There had to have been a safeguard Incase a outrageous enemy seized critical position's in our government! Why is the current illegitimate enemy government allowed to destroy America? Is this God's plan to fulfill the prophecy of Jesus Christ?
Great that they got to meet again. 👌👍❤️
Brave man

She could have walked out by herself
Great story, and good job. But why was she trying to goto work in the middle of a hurricane?
There are good people in this world.

HURRICANE IAN – 2022 $
Hurricane Ian hit like an atom bomb
Consuming the helpless in it's path.
The waters of the deep surged forth
Flooding everything with it's wrath.
The best of the brave was seen by man
While rescue crews were helping others.
They risked their life and laid it on the line
To save our sisters and brothers.
May heaven show mercy upon the lost
Never to love, laugh, sing or cry
God bless every man, woman and child
Who before their time had to die.
Tears are the raindrops of the soul
Shed by all who cry
Though the eyes are wet and swollen
With time and patience they dry.

This reporter should be awarded for his actions..Period..
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎PEOPLE ARE HAROLED “HEROES”. TOO EASILY THESE DAYS! WHAT HE DID IS WHAT ANY NORMAL
PERSON WITH A HEART SHOULD
DO. ITS JUST BECAUSE HE IS A “REPORTER” and it was caught on film. I’m certain lots of nice acts were performed in the hurricane and nobody else Is on the news because of it. NAH. Not a hero to me #MyOpinion….
