Show Notes

Over the past few days we have seen extreme temperatures in the USA along with Wildfires A large Heat Dome bottling in the heat. Canada too has had extreme temperatures along with Siberia and northern China. These have all been record breaking. In contrast some of Europe and  China have had record breaking rain leading to vast flooding and loss of life. China's floods were caused by a once in a 1000 year rainfall when 20cm in one day. Europe had this in three days.

With the Heat and the wildfires in Siberia, the Permafrost is also melting releasing 10,000 year old biological matter into methane and Carbon Dioxide.

Much of the world is experiencing global climate change now. The time to act was yesterday. We don't need to cut the rise to 1.5 Celsius, we need to reduce by 1.5 Celsius.
