[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm posting from Germany, where we have just had catastrophic flooding, which was a shock: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/16/western-germany-floods-angela-merkel-horror-catastrophe-deaths-missing-search-flooding-belgium

The floods are almost certainly a result of climate change.

I do think it is too late to reverse climate change.  The horrible truth is that it is big countries with many poor that are causing most of the damage at the moment: India, Russia, China, etc.  These places just can't take the precautions we are starting to take in the EU and in the US and what we are doing isn't enough to avert what is to come.[/quote]

It is possible that governments may be hiding things, but there is plenty of data to show that we need to take action now. We need to demand it of our elected officials but also of the many corporations that are damaging the planet for profit.

Blaming Russia, China, and India is a stupid game that certain politicians want you to play. Of course those countries are doing damage but their citizens are capable of putting pressure on their own governments. Focus on demanding accountability from corporations, do not buy anything from Amazon or products produced in China (this is huge) or other superpolluter countries, including food. Buy local, reduce reuse recycle etc, but do it mindfully. And call out our politicians that are shifting blame to other countries instead of demonstrating leadership. [/quote]
