INN Weather – MARCH 2023
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change just completed its Sixth Assessment Report, summarising what humans need to do to ensure a 50/50 chance of avoiding an irreversible climate disaster by 2030.
SANDY: Hi Jane, how’s dating Joe going?
JANE: Yeah… Uhh…
SANDY: So, not too good huh?
JANE: … He has he’s moments. So – the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change just completed its Sixth Assessment Report, summarising what humans need to do to ensure a 50/50 chance of avoiding an irreversible climate disaster by 2030. Australians are either encountering normal or unusual weather depending on if they’re read the IPCC’s report. The high socio-economic and University-educated demographics were feeling particularly uncomfortable there with those red numbers, while the majority of others surveyed were kinda indifferent and more concerned about whether they could pay their bills for the week…
Overseas now, and Cyclone Freddy has become the longest-lived tropical cyclone on record, killing at least 1400 people and smashing the previous record of 58 deaths by a Freddy set during the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise between 1984 and 2010.
The UN blamed the impact of climate change for the devastation that occurred in the African countries of Malawi and Mozambique. Amnesty International suggested that compensation should be paid by rich nations responsible for the climate crisis. However, critics who weren’t INNformation have suggested floods and landslides caused by deforestation – occurring at rates of over 300 football fields a day – were the primary reason for the high casualty rate Freddy caused in these countries.
Between 60 and 80% of the population in Malawi and Mozambique are currently without power – in general – not because of the cyclone – so at least they’re doing their bit to fight the climate crisis for the rest of us, including China and the 1118 coal power plants that fuel their country..
SANDY: Thanks Jane…
