Once this pandemic will be over worldwide (what about Climate Change)

Once this pandemic will be over worldwide, what about Climate Change thousands of Scientists warn all the lights are blinking red (two minutes to midnight), that it threatens 7 BILLION or more human lives, animal life not included? They estimate we all have just twelve years to reverse course. There's been 28 wasted years since the 1992 Rio Summit as the world's greenhouse effects emissions only got worse and worse globally.

Governments keep dragging their feet... (when not destroying the small regulations some put in place before).

We need to hammer this over and over (before it's too late, just like they did with this pandemic). We have a costly (lives + economies) example to scream at them (what happens when you keep listening to the oil-industry complex).

We are far closer to a nuclear exchange and all out nuclear war than we have ever been, which may not be popular news, but it goes right along with climate change and its impact. The more unstable the world becomes, the more likely things are to happen.

When we get out, that and climate change will still be there and getting worse.

But, yes. Nuclear weapons have to be destroyed.

Glad you brought that up, (or am I?).

Yes, climate change is going to have an effect on them and also an increase in parasites and disease carrying insects, invasive species moving into new areas, etc. It is a huge, multi-faceted problem as you know.

Lock him up.
