Hello Life Protectors, Our Planet Champions,
Below are life changing messages from hopefull Climate Scientists Bill McKibben and Katharine Hayhoe. Links to their good work.
“This week the World Meteorological Organization officially certified, 2023 as the hottest year in human history. Just to put on the record here what should have been the lead story in every journal and website on our home planet:
Andrea Celeste Saulo, secretary general of the WMO, said the organization was now “sounding the red alert to the world.
The report found temperatures near the surface of the earth were 1.45°C higher last year than they were in the late 1800s, when people began to destroy nature at an industrial scale and burn large amounts of coal, oil, and gas.
Last year’s spike was so scary that NASA’s Gavin Schmidt—Jim Hansen’s heir as keeper of NASA’s climate record—wrote in Nature this week that it raised the most profound possible implications. Please read his words slowly and carefully“.
Bill McKibben speaks to UU’s highlight, Bill Mckibben to UU’s: We need you to provide moral leadership.
Climate Scientist and Texas Tech Professor Katharine Hayhoe is a secure connection on hopefulness and climate actions you can choose. The latest on eco-innovations and climate risks from the Aspen Ideas Festival in Miami.
Search for Katharine Hayhoe climate solutions at The Aspen Institute’s climate summit in Miami for the my first time. It was a joy to meet so many incredible people passionate about climate solutions and reminded me once again how much stronger we can be when we work together".

From her Facebook page: “On Easter, we celebrate God’s gift of life. That’s why I’m convinced that tackling climate change isn’t just a responsibility—it’s a way to demonstrate our love for people, for God, and for His creation”.
