Climate notes for April 13th 2024
I'm trying to keep things balanced on this site. It gets a weird amount of traffic given the tiny nature and absolute lack of promotion I do for it. But I don't want everything here to be doomsayer stuff. Which can be difficult, to be honest. I tend to read various sources and think about climate through my week. But my god, most of it is just news of how we've blasted our way through some tragic milestone or some animal is going extinct. Any graph I see bears no good news. COP is basically a freakshow for startups pretending to care and governments genuinely don't care. In a year of global elections, I'm not hearing anywhere near enough about climate.
