We at This Spaceship Earth have long thought that two things are critical for humanity to slow and then stabilize global warming: actions and a deep sense of urgency.

COP 28: Hypocrisy, Failure and the Triumph of Fossil Fuels

David Houle - Futurist
12.12.2023

 

Once again… a total failure. As I have written several times, I expected it would be. If the first 27 COPs had been successful, there wouldn’t be a need for the current one in Dubai.   The reason it is a failure is that its purpose since 1995 has been to lower GHG emissions, particularly […]

Human-driven global warming has long been a divisive issue in the U.S., thanks in part to decades of polarizing messaging from industry, political figures and others. As the world experiences extreme heat and other climate change-driven events with increasing frequency, people’s views on what’s happening still vary widely, but they are changing.   The political […]
