- Bom dia amigas e amigos leitores, preocupados, como eu, como os dois assuntos correlatos mais importantes do momento histórico que estamos vivendo.
- Estamos falando, é claro, do AQUECIMENTO GLOBAL e suas consequentes MUDANÇAS CLIMÁTICAS, que eu prefiro intitular de
DESREGRAMENTO CLIMÁTICO.
DESREGRAMENTO CLIMÁTICO.

- Está em inglês, mas inglês é mais fácil de entender do que português, não é verdade?
- Tenham um bom dia, se ainda for possível desfrutar um bom dia, sobre um planeta cujo meio ambiente só faz se degradar, por nossa culpa de terráqueos irresponsáveis, inconsequentes e por conseguinte suicidas.

“An atomic bomb” is how one transport minister in Australia described the bush fires that continue to ravage the country. Having burned through an area larger than Switzerland and bloodied the sky as far as New Zealand, the fires have killed at least 25 people and hundreds of millions of animals, by some estimates. Here’s how people are making sense of the devastation, who’s to blame and how to help.
‘Australia is committing climate suicide’
Like California, Australia is naturally primed to burn. But global warming has worsened the problem by turning greenery into kindling. (Average highs in Australia hit a record 107.4 degrees Fahrenheit in December, the start of the Southern Hemisphere’s summer, following the driest spring on record.)
This year, in what has become “the iconic representation of climate change impacts,” undeniable trends and unpredictable weather created “a horrific convergence of events,” according to Chris Field, the director of Stanford’s environmental institute.
