Looking at our climate change problems.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
With no rain for 12 weeks and temperatures pushing towards 40 degrees at times the New Forest heathland has taken a battering with only patchy colour in the heather - normally transformed to purple, now burnt and dead-looking largely. It has also meant tress and ferns dressing for autumn a couple of months early so where there is summer colour it leads to a strange, but attractive colour palette. More worrying is that I've seen much less birdlife and wildlife than usual - perhaps its just me? It does make you wonder what our seasons are going to become as climate change seems to gather pace.

Sea Forest / Land De-Forest - the Madness of Mankind.
Rain forests - that reduce tons of CO2 - destroyed by the thousands of acres each day.
Wind turbines - that reduce? CO2 - built by the thousands at great cost to the electricity consumer.

Another poster supporting action on Climate Change. It is amazing how our government leaders seem to live in a bubble of denial.

Wow! Loved it here. Sorry, I'm unable to say what this is, I couldn't name check everything. Enjoy.
Google Lens came up with some odd suggestions.
Earlier this year, winter unleashed heavy storms on the Northern part of Italy, often leaving disasters behind.
Milan itself suffered a great deal in the aftermath of such storms, trees falling on trams and cars and paralysing the city. Nearby provinces suffered as well, the entire woods of Peschiera Borromeo littered with fallen trees.
People of the Maldive Islands, the Marshall Islands. You must raise your voice until the world trembles. The people of Venice and Miami join their cries. The Billionaires are responsible for the continuing rise of sea levels. We know how to slow it, stop it, reverse it, but they are impeding our progress.

This brave woman was one of several people arrested in Trafalgar Square for daring to peacefully resist the government's inaction on the climate and cost of living crisis. She had been participating in a "Just Stop Oil" demo, by sitting on the road, on the south side of the square and had been holding a placard declaring "We will not pay for greed."
Another activist explained his own interpretation of the placard - "We refuse to go hungry to feed your profits, we refuse to sacrifice our planet on the altar of greed."
This and other similar protests occur as a tiny corporate minority are profiteering from the surge in the oil price, inflicting misery on working families, and while also benefiting the government's backing for new oil fields.
The UK's mainstream TV network Sky News network reported in August 2022 that "the country has seen a huge spike in the number of people becoming billionaires." - Yes, that's right, a "huge spike" in the middle of the UK's longest decline in working families' living standards in 200 years.

The UK government claims that it doesn't have enough funds to support the NHS, the disabled, the homeless or working families who can't afford to heat their homes. It also explains its inability to take any of the steps desperately needed to avert catastrophic climate change, due to the supposed cost.
All the while it allows UK oil companies to profit from the Ukraine War by setting the maximum possible market price thereby plunging ordinary families into poverty. It also continues to allow individuals and corporations to hide their wealth in tax havens, hands out billions by propping up, via the Bank of England's open market operations, the assets of wealthy bond holders and it still privileges multinationals with the lowest corporation tax, by a significant margin, in the G7, and also in the G20.
According to the Just Stop Oil website, just a few days prior to when this photo was taken, a spokesperson for the activist group set out their demands -
“Rishi Sunak is about to U-turn on attending COP27. We demand that he also U-turn on new oil and gas. This genocidal policy will kill millions of people, while failing to address the worst cost of living crisis this country has ever seen.
“It's time for a serious windfall tax on big oil, without the get-out-of-jail-free tax credits that will encourage more oil and gas that we cannot afford. Vulnerable people will be freezing to death in their homes this winter, unable to afford a can of soup, while his government refuses to tax the rich and the big energy companies that are profiting from our misery.
“We owe it to our young people to stop fossil fuels, we owe it to our workers to create a just transition to a zero-carbon economy, we owe it to our old people to enable them to live with dignity. We are not prepared to stand by and watch while everything we love is destroyed."

Just because today is International Polar Bear Day ... and because it's been quite a while since a bear (of any kind) was shared by me on Flickr, I thought it appropriate to share this one.
Who can resist a young cub, especially a polar bear cub, posing on the snow covered landscape, as it takes a break from playing. Not far away, of course, is its mom who always has the young one in sight.
Spending 5 days with these amazing bears has been a highlight of my photography life. It's amazing to see their size, their strength, their behavior, and especially their cuteness. These polar bear moms, from what I witnessed, are fabulous moms who protect and play with their cubs. Don't fret, she does take breaks too. Cubs learn to entertain themselves when mom is resting. Whether it be with sticks, blubber remnants, the snow itself ... virtually anything is fair game ... including other cubs, which is probably the cutest.
How could we not want to protect these bears from the environmental changes that threaten them?
Thanks so much for stopping by to view and especially for sharing your thoughts and comments.
