“Dahr Jamail is back with another devastating climate dispatch. Bearing witness to horrific realities here and now, and those to come. Climactic changes in general are happening decades faster than expected and with increasing severity around the globe.

As these and other essential life-support systems continue to destabilize & collapse while irreplaceable resources like water and arable land are depleted, human survival & that of much of life on Earth becomes that much less likely.
