The climate crisis goes from a drought to deluge in just years

Climate Conversations

As a former newspaper editor my instinct is to simply give you as much news as I could and then trust that you a the reader had the necessary "smarts" to filter those stories to determine what was important to you, your community and what wasn't so important.

I believed that no story was correct and no story, by contrast, was incorrect - they all has their place and each was important to someone, somewhere.

So from going from a point of just a few years ago, maybe five, of struggling to find anything about the climate crisis in the general media, it's now overwhelming and so it almost embarrasses me to see so many stories slipping by almost untouched by Climate Conversations.

Not to worry (or at least that is what I tell myself) for I do what I can from where I am.

The Conversation carried an interesting story about heat being pushed into the Southern Hemisphere at the rate of an "atom exploding every second of every day' in the story "Shifting ocean currents are pushing more heat into the Southern Hemisphere's cooler waters".

The issue of the world's carbon budget was discussed by Professor Michael Howard at the the recent BIEN2022 Congress in Brisbane.

And on EcoWatch Olivia Rosane tells us that the wealthiest ten per cent of people are responsible for nearly 50 per cent of carbon emissions.
