Why Climate Change Chicken Littles Demand Action NOW!
Britain’s Prince Charles said it: “the next 18 months will decide our ability to keep climate change to survivable levels.”There you go. 18 months.And you thought AOC was shrill!Why 18 months?Supposedly because, as Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, founder and director emeritus of the Potsdam Climate Institute, and one Pope Francis’s chief advisors on his 2015 environmental encyclical, put it, “The climate math is brutally clear: While the world can’t be healed within the next few years, it may be … [Read more...]
