The number of extreme weather disasters has jumped fivefold worldwide over the past 50 years, and the number of deaths has nearly tripled, according to the World Meteorological Organization.

Many more tragedies to come with no real governance will get many more dead, needlessly

For those keeping score at home, that means “once in a century” events are now to be expected once every 20 years.

Remember that climate denial and obstruction is a long-term Republican project stretching back decades. Trump isn’t doing anything Republicans haven’t been doing for years. He just turned it up to eleven.

Yes, but can we stop with the ‘preview’ stuff?? It’s here. It’s happening. People are dying NOW because of climate change.

And we keep on as if nothing's happening. Republicans will pretend there's nothing to see here so they can save their precious money.

Amid climate change, market failure something's gotta gov. But governance is even retreating from protecting us from anthropocentric, complicated techno harms to food, drugs, water, air, workplaces, banking, etc. The social contract has been sundered. As has our citizenship.

Thus the move to stop tracking, or privatize for easier coverups. Keep everyone in the dark...yeah, I'm sure no one will notice.

It's so sad that so many people will have to die before the world acknowledges what scientists have known for decades.

Call me Thanos, but I'm starting to think this is simply the way things work - humans keep advancing technologically, leading to more and more humans, but also contributing to climate change and poisoning our environment, so the earth has to rebalance things.

There exists enough resources on the planet to take care of everyone; nobody needs to starve, die from a treatable illness, or live without clean water and safe shelter. The technology exists to get off fossil fuels and stop killing our environment. The greed of a relative few is the problem.

Similar to James Lovelock’s hypothesis, that the earth and life on it form a self-regulating system. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_hy...

Climate change has been a long time coming but Donald Trump may just end up getting credit for putting the nail in the global coffin. Certainly, not the kind of epitaph a sane person would want to have.

Extrapolate the data from the last 15 years! Don’t say “fivefold” which is not alarmist. Say “500%” or “times 5”, to spell the math, which will be higher with the projection. Say the number of deaths. Say the numbers. That always communicates. Thank you, keep reporting!

Surely these are all a coincidence and not at all the result of ignoring the warnings of climate change due in large part to an unwillingness to stop funding Big Oil.
