Guardian letter gives Heating Planet blog credibility, courage- blogger empowered

"To truly understand the scale of what we face, we must confront an uncomfortable truth: the Earth will survive this crisis. It is humanity, and countless other living species, that may not. As we edge closer to an irreversible point, the climate is becoming less a 'challenge to manage' and more a hostile environment in which many will struggle to live. The planet is already adapting to its future. The question is whether we will do the same."

It's too late to stop global warming, I think. If we reduce emissions now, we might slow it down, but at this point we have to face reality. Climate change is happening and we need to deal with it, make changes in our lives so we survive. Next few years, weather weirdness is going to affect everyone in different ways, depending on where you live. Ignoring it will leave you ignorant.

But did not feel confident enough to promote that post as it's kind of "out there" but now a letter to The Guardian Jan 4 quoted above says something similar, closing with- "Adaptation funding is not charity. Emissions cuts are not optional. Honesty, courage, and compassion are now survival tools. Anything less is betrayal.Keith Nicholls Swansea"
