Vivienne’s Diary – 9.3.21

David Attenborough, most famous + trusted man in coughed up his heart + put it on the table. We R at tipping point we R 1 degree 2 hot, we cannot go beyond. Scientists have been telling us this for ages, but he had the power 2 let the canary out of the cage.

The official govt figure is a lie: 1.5 degrees; meanwhile every pundit is talking about how will be back 2 normal by 2030, running smoothly again by 2050. Or, “my son will be living in 4 degrees hotter”. No! Nothing can live in that. The clock is ticking.

Attenborough pleaded “U have the technology”  But we don’t  we don’t have time 2 develop it + we don’t have time 2 invent it.

I read NYT International  Opinion: we R so clever we can solve ev. problem, we invented a vaccine 4 Covid + we will be back to normal in a few yrs. I read Bill Gates own review of his new book, his manifesto of How To Save . He proposes solar, wind yes, this is underway; + electric cars: No! Limited use of cars is the aim. He proposes 3 more: steel, cement, shipping. All R unworkable for the same reason, businessmen won’t accept 2 pay 4 cleaner technology it costs up 2 6X more than dirty e.g shipping: crude thick sludge 4 clean oil. He admits this but asks them all 2 work together 2 achieve it. He is aiming 4 2050. The would then be 3 degrees hotter. In UK that would mean temps high as 45C. Once yr temp goes into 41C U go into a coma and yr body shuts down. Death is quick. It is imposible to give a big picture because ev is happening all at once. There wont be an economy: Earth is releasing its buried carbon in the form of CO2;  rf’s gone, permafrost melting methane, ocean rising; there wont be bread  because the fields R 2 hot to grow corn.

Gates is a philanthropist + some of his charities R good. He is concerned 2 bring light 2 poor people. The trouble is he is a Zealot of      free rider (FR). He thinks ev. should aspire 2 live like an American. His manifesto is rubbish  he is the problem. “The end is nigh!”

David Attenbourough: The most important speech has ever known. Headlines 4 1 day + then, is that it? I have seen nothing in print media (I don’t have a mobile phone or personal computer). It’s what press don’t say!  Yesterday’s news. Attenborough gave me the power 2 make my speech by quoting him 1 degree is tipping point. That little bird is flying around! We have 2 fight military industrial complex. Car production and weapons R biggest polluters. Stop War and you will halt cc.
