Rich countries are dragging their feet on producing new plans to combat the climate crisis, thereby putting the poor into greater danger.

All governments are supposed to publish new plans this year on cutting greenhouse gas emissions, but so far only a small majority have done so, and some of the plans submitted have been inadequate to the scale of action needed.

My appologies for the intrusive promo starting at 1:16 and ending at 2:48. I guess the man needs this. [how about when that enterprise goes belly-up, who will buy those very sensitive data ???]
But still the man tells a interesting story on the old giants.

The Trump administration wants more timber production out of America's national forests, which would make a significant impact on the Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests in the Blue Ridge mountains."

You know about that canary in the coal mine, right?

When a canary kept inside a cage dies, the miners need to get out immediately. They are in extreme danger.

For us, the canary is coral reefs. They are dying now, at a rate never seen in human history. We are in extreme danger.

Capitalist commerce and industry are wrecking the planet's biosphere, tampering with the food chain that keeps us and millions of other species alive.

The overwhelming majority of people in the world – between 80% and 89%, according to a growing number of peer-reviewed scientific studies – want their governments to take stronger climate action.

But at least for now, this global climate majority is a silent majority.

The current mismatch between public will and government action amounts to a deficit in democracy.

Fast ferries are real gas guzzlers. Good to see efforts to reduce emissions.

“Over the coming months Irish Ferries aims to ramp up usage of HVO as a diesel alternative to 100% on all four of the ship's engines, which would result in up to 90% less carbon emissions compared to conventional diesel.”
