Recent news has been dominated by the pandemic that is raging globally, but in the background the climate emergency news keeps bubbling away.
The World Meteorological Organisation says there's a growing chance that global temperatures will break the 1.5C threshold over the next five years, compared to pre-industrial levels.
It basically adds up to global warming effects that will seriously, adversely, impact our weather norms and potentially cause massive changes to our way of life.
Some scientists even tie the pandemic to global warming, saying we can expect more and possibly worse disease events.
The climate future we’re heading for seems more and more like a destination we would rather avoid.
