Some of the 'prophets of doom' of the 60s whose warnings went unheeded assess the current environmental fragility. The effects of climate change were already being felt as far back as the 1960s, but scientists who linked fossil fuels with climate change were labelled “prophets of doom”. This episode traces the trajectory of climate change over the past 60 years and examines how and why – despite the stark warnings – we failed to halt the climate catastrophe we are currently experiencing, and why it appears politics and science are at odds when it comes to this issue. Years of propaganda and greed from oil companies created a world where profit trumped the health of the planet, the consequences of which are now being felt today. Lost Futures explores the effects of corporate greed. In Louisiana, we see firsthand how small coastal towns will succumb to the devastating effects of years of drilling from oil companies, and what this means for a generation which has had little to do with causing the devastation but is forced to live with its consequences. #planetaryhealth

🎭Introducing one of my favorite comedians: Nate Bargatze🎭 My social media algorithm presents Nate's short clips every once in awhile, often focused on marital humor that my spouse and I enjoy and relate to. This short clip came across my feed this past weekend, and while it gave me a good laugh, it also made me think about a very real issue we face today: climate change denial. Nate attempts to compare Earth to his research on the progress of other planets to which he names Earth as the clear front runner with nothing to worry about... It’s funny, right? But here’s the thing – climate change is no joke. This misconception is dangerous and hinders our efforts to combat the very real and pressing issue of climate change. Let’s use humor to break the ice and start conversations, but let’s also ensure we follow up with facts and actions. 🌱 #ClimateChange #Sustainability #ClimateAction #ComicRelief #Earth https://lnkd.in/ey9vKrUZ

The rise in Anthropocene has seen human beings alienate themselves from nature placing themselves at the top of the hierarchy, ethically superior imposing instumental value to other species. Climate change, Pollution, loss of diversity are some of the major effects we are seeing of this humanity hubris. There is however light at the end of the tunnel, with change in attitude and values and the ideologies that people have with nature. #climatechange.

Climate change  United Nations Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.

Tomorrow is earth’s day. GDP “growth” and Big Oil devastating our planets lungs, 🫁, the coral 🪸 #reefs and setting our land lungs🌳 on fire 🔥 destroying our crops 🌾 and flooding people’s houses. We are now in a global coral #bleaching event, this documentary is 2 years old but 2023 and 2024 have registered world 🌍 highest temperature on the world oceans 🌊 causing a new global bleaching.

The tagline on the Earth Archetypes website is "Find your path from climate anxiety to community action." As I wrote this week’s 3 Step Reciprocity Cycle blog, I feel like I found a path from common anxiety to community action. Amazing how similar those two phrases are.

THE ARCTIC ISN'T MELTING! 🌊 Yeah it is. If you've got 9 minutes for something interesting, give this a listen! https://lnkd.in/ePaUFJHX You might recently have heard climate skeptics yabbering about increased artic ice. 🤔 Whenever someone confronts you with novel data (or "data" 🙄) it can be easy to feel concern for your knowledge or position on a subject you know to be complicated (if you're a rational-minded person, anyway). This short episode of More-Or-Less looks at that sea ice story in particular, and highlights the importance of using complete, long-term data in climate science while being wary of cherry-picked data. 👍
