[MCN] 3 quick examples of telling the climate crisis like it is : I recommend riding the link to Kate Marvel's "sending our children"

[Lance Olsen]

"But the scale of climate change engulfs even the most fortunate. .... The world we once knew is never coming back.

Kate Marvel, physicist, associate research scientist at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies and Columbia University’s Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics

An ecologist must either harden his shell and make believe that the consequences of science are none of his business, or he must be the doctor who sees the marks of death in a community that believes itself well and does not want to be told otherwise.”

Aldo Leopold

“The fact is that we, humans, have changed the composition of the atmosphere with respect to heat-trapping gases enough to start the progression of global climate, not into a new steady state, but into an open-ended warming that is pulling the environment out from under this civilization.”

George Woodwell
