Two hands Distractions

To read about a strange leader in a country riddled with Covid or watch impotently as Brazil looks to overtake the USA.

Why when I’ve never been to Brazil and I’m not about to change how the US runs itself.

More CO2 was emitted here this year in a single bushfire season than Australia emits in an entire year.

80 percent of the Blue Mountains protected area were burnt areas that have clung on since the age of the dinosaurs.

National conversation about climate change never happened.

We remain in suspended animation waiting for the Covid health crisis to pass.

Meanwhile a group of Australian scientists have made an alarming revision of temperature increases with the dire implications for the feasibility of achieving the Paris agreement.

They are now forecasting average global warming of 4.5C by 2100.

The worry is not that these estimates are wrong – but that they may be right.

2C increase maybe reached in 20 years time.

We may witnessing planetary collapse far sooner than we once thought.

Best to focus on what these two hands CAN do and today.
