Unseasonal lovely Spring in Portland...
Is it a false early summer in the Pacific Northwest?
Will a late frost kill all the blooms and buds?
Will a smoke storm ravage our landscape?

These are projections... no one can predict the future, or can we...
if you can't 'stop immigration' now, you won't be able it inthe future...
worried about the price of eggs ? It'll only get more expensive [that is.. if they're even available]
And the worst is..
Everybody plays their part... by not taking it serious, by blaming others, by not reporting it, by not panicking. Or by mocking it, denying it...
'we' know what to do but 'we' won't give up 'living as usual'.
There is still time, only preciously little of it.
"What Earth in 2050 could look like - Shannon Odell" [4:59 min]

Quote by TEDe:
"Mar 28, 2024
What could our future world look like if we continue to do nothing about climate change? Take a look at the possibilities.
While we’re already feeling the devastating effects of human-caused climate change, governments continue to fall short on making and executing emissions pledges that would help thwart further warming. So, what will our world look like in the next 30 to 80 years, if we continue on the current path? Shannon Odell offers a glimpse at Earth's possible future.

Coastal development, climate change, logging and agriculture have put more than one in six mangrove species worldwide under extinction threat.
"Mangroves cover only about 0.1 per cent of the planet’s surface. However, they can potentially store up to 10 times more carbon per hectare (ha) than terrestrial forests."
"The collapse of insect populations, almost everywhere in Europe, is the most terrifying element of the unfolding environmental crisis."

Support climate change policy. There are 27 positive feedback loops that could ramp up global heating on top of all the emissions by humans. Policy needs to shift to big-time climate mitigation.

"Global plastic waste is on track to almost triple by 2060, with about half of the waste ending up in landfills and less than a fifth recycled." We need a strong global #PlasticsTreaty to limit #plastic production and use and end the age of plastic.

Wetlands may not be as glamorous as forests, but they fulfill a vital role in the health of our water and our climate – and we need to protect them.
