Some crazy records being broken this year. There is also statistically outlying Antarctica ice melt but I haven't seen that story anywhere since first seeing it.

One thing you can do is write to your MP or representative.
Here is a letter template to write to your MP if you are in the uk - you could also use the template in the US or elsewhere in the world : https://www.theclimatecoalition.org/write-to-your-mp

Agreed, basically what I live off anyhow. But then it is leaf water, so unsure if the rules would allow!

In terms of crime maybe try the original 'the killing' and the remake. The bridge is also good - all part of scandi noir crime wave that took over the UK for a while. There is some obvious deption of death and murder.

I've recently just watched the silo and that was brilliant Sci fi - very distopian and authoritarian though!

I'm with you, I've started referring to it with this name. It's apt, we're in a current crisis not a situation that we will only see effects from generations from now. I talk to a lot of people who seem to think this is a next generation problem, even the current young generation.

I really hope this isn't the case but I have a feeling you might be right. Why don't we act preemptively instead of firefight (literally in this case) after the fact.

Era of global boiling sounds very reassuring. When are our policy makers going to actually start acting?

I've never understood this argument. A lot of the things we need to change will actually make life better for so many, including animals. So surely it would be a good thing even if the science didn't obviously point out the link.

I read some quote the other day saying 'we're past the point of needing a thermometer, we need a fire extinguisher'. We all need to stop debating the finer points and just get on with some actual action.

Yes it will, which is even more worrying but we have to do something. I think it's going to have to be a joint carbon reduction and capture effort

Pretty much panicking, funnily enough I'd resigned myself (still tried to life a green life) until having kids, but you've got to try and do everything you can otherwise what future are we giving them?

It's true, I don't think you'd find consensus or cooperation with the idea, but we do seem to be at an impasse that we shouldn't (but probably will) just ignore.

Absolutely couldn't agree more, we need people to make change and ideally we need people contacting their legislators and local councils. I've joined a council run local climate working group which has been useful so far.

Basically engage as much as you can.
