Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are skyrocketing at an unprecedented rate, with officials sounding alarms at levels beyond anything humans have ever experienced. The data coming in from NOAA, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and the University of California San Diego is pointing to a grim reality – a reality that we have been aware of for decades but have failed to act upon effectively. The hottest year on record, hottest ocean temperatures, and a slew of extreme weather events are all indicators of a planet in distress.
The surge in carbon dioxide levels is a direct result of our continuous burning of fossil fuels, with the past two years showcasing the largest jump ever recorded in CO2 levels.… Continue reading
Trump’s recent dealings with Big Oil Execs are alarming, to say the least. The notion that he is willing to dismantle crucial climate regulations put in place by the Biden administration in exchange for a mere $1 billion is not only disheartening but morally reprehensible.

It is a stark reminder of the corrupt nature of politics and the lengths some individuals will go to in pursuit of power and wealth.… Continue reading

The consequences of the AMOC collapse are dire, especially for Europe. Without this critical ocean current, the region will experience a drastic drop in temperatures.… Continue reading
