In this I share insights from the latest reports by the WMO, UNFFFC, UNEP and others.
The message: We are completely off track.

Finally! The truth is spelt out officially.
“Let’s recognise our failure.”
“The truth is that we have failed to avoid an overshooting above 1.5C in the next few years. And that going above 1.5C has devastating consequences.“

Local media is dropping the ball (again) by mostly failing to connect the extreme weather we've been experiencing to climate change, accelerated by methane and carbon emissions.
In NZ, the biggest source of pollution is agriculture and specifically the dairy industry, followed by transport.
The current government is failing to address this issue, and quite the opposite, making it much worse by bowing to the industry.
This connection needs to be made explicit.
Things will keep getting worse, infrastructure will need to be rebuilt over and over again, homes will be lost, and lives will be broken until we take meaningful action to rework our economy, energy and transport.
The climate crisis is here and our heads are still in the sand.

Sometimes the juxtaposition of two stories in the news' homepage tells you more than either of both stories by themselves.

I highly recommend this episode of https://overshootpod.com/
This episode is about "what it really means to prepare for a world above 1.5°C, and why governments are clinging to fantasy preparation plans."
The latest report that CO2 jumped last year, indicating that natural land and ocean carbon sinks might be weakening should be the front page story of every major newspaper, should be dominating newscasts the way 911 did. We are losing control of the little control we have over the biosphere that sustains us and we are barely mentioning it.

This should scare the crap out of us at 423.9 ppm CO2

Climate goal.
Climate goal.
National's watering down of methane limits has rightly attracted international condemnation for its ignorance and its complete disregard of climate change.
Naturally farmers are ecstatic that their right to pollute for another 25 years has been preserved. Sure, the climate is getting wilder and that might lead to an extinction event, one day. But short-term profits are more important. Right?
Wrong.
Today's ODT editorial describes National's dirty moves as "a loss for sensible policy making." On a positive note, they suggest this bad legislation is unlikely to survive a change of government.

"I've realised, far too young, the decisions of today echo loudly into tomorrow”
That’s quoting Buller High School student Zabeel Scanlon, speaking at this week’s Adaptation Futures conference at Te Pae Convention Centre in Christchurch, NZ.
Their town, Westport, will be flooded off the map with global warming and the Buller District Council has been trying to plan a retreat inland to a new site. That plan has been controversial with some local residents, which was reflected in the recent local elections.
