Wake up call from Tibet - Bruce Whitehead

The terrifying scale of Tibet’s glacier collapse should leave no doubt about the existential threat from a warming climate.

At tipping point (El Niño effects will be extreme this year) the planet may be doomed. Climate breakdown would firstly starve and then suffocate us.

There's no point arguing if melting was triggered by carbon emissions of human fossil fuel burning on top of natural warming; the point is that we can massively reduce the danger by stopping our carbon emissions.

So why are governments not calling a global emergency? If Andy Burnham can’t or won't see this, a Green coalition may be the only option for saving our planet. It really is that bad.

WAKE UP! Stop idling your engine, needlessly using your car, wasting heating energy. A tiny change by each of us translates to a massive benefit for the next generation.
