Climate Emergency: Compelling evidence WE ARE IN an emergency

This short (5-minute) film is worth watching;

Stop climate disruption before these 7 tipping points change earth forever:

Yes, we ARE experiencing a CLIMATE EMERGENCY!  Climate disruptions have moved us close to 7 “tipping points” with feedback loops that could change earth forever.  The article I linked below is very informative.  It explains the problems well so anyone can understand.  It has sections on SEA and ICE and LAND.

The article is long, but informative and really necessary for more people to understand.  Keep scrolling down – and keep learning more in this powerful, easy-to-understand article.  I read the whole thing, and I learned a lot.  The facts are truly frightening, but the public – and the media and politicians – need to learn about this.  Instead of merely scaring people with these hard realities, we must pair up this information with truly bold actions that local, regional, national and global entities can take to significantly slow climate disruption.

SCIENTISTS ARE ALARMED AND DEMAND IMMEDIATE ACTION: Climate Crisis after Disappointing COP 25: “The Science is Screaming!

Grossly inadequate actions have occurred since this December 2019 article about scientists expressing alarm and demanding immediate action.  Now (a year and a half later) I’m posting this to my blog but very little has been done.  See this article:

New report from the UN warns: Cut greenhouse gases immediately or face catastrophe:

How many crucially important and alarming reports can our federal, state and local governments ignore?  How many political campaign contributions have brought us to this extreme emergency?  How long will governments and people allow fossil fuel businesses to continue killing Mother Earth?  Here is the article about an URGENT report from the United Nations, but very little has been done since the UN issued this report in 2019:
