So from going from a point of just a few years ago, maybe five, of struggling to find anything about the climate crisis in the general media, it's now overwhelming and so it almost embarrasses me to see so many stories slipping by almost untouched by Climate Conversations.

Not to worry (or at least that is what I tell myself) for I do what I can from where I am.

The Conversation carried an interesting story about heat being pushed into the Southern Hemisphere at the rate of an "atom exploding every second of every day'  in the story "Shifting ocean currents are pushing more heat into the Southern Hemisphere's cooler waters".

The issue of the world's carbon budget was discussed by Professor Michael Howard at the the recent BIEN2022 Congress in Brisbane.

And on EcoWatch Olivia Rosane tells us that the wealthiest ten per cent of people are responsible for nearly 50 per cent of carbon emissions.
