Laprisha Berry Daniels' grandparents left the Southern United States and migrated north to Detroit in the 1950s — a move that could be considered a big "climate change." Now, as a public health social worker, Berry Daniels mines the survival strategies of her grandparents to think about how we can all learn from the past to better prepare for current and future environmental climate change.

    "I never have been in despair about the world. Enraged. I've been enraged by the world, but never despair. I cannot afford despair. You can't tell the children that there is no hope." — James Baldwin
  • Absolutely Right Mam❤️❤️❤️. We have to prepare climate change. Please save the Earth🙏🙏🙏
  • Don’t you think full disclosure, and our fall ETA disclosure would lead to conversations with extraterrestrials that are remarkably human that have their own planet that they take care of back somewhere else in the universe and that perhaps if they figured out how to reverse space-time moving beyond the speed of light to get here and actually be alive. Upon arrival probably means they have teleportation technology and there’s a triangle craft on the space force flag so it’s probably time that we talk about how extraterrestrials could benefit us on earth taking care of our planet better why is this not the question? How is this not obvious thought to everyone

  • 😅Why the Paris agreement is so vital? After decades of torturous negotiations and bitter disappointment at the UN COP climate talks, the hard-won 2015 Paris agreement was a major diplomatic breakthrough. Achieved with rare consensus, it has huge legitimacy. That’s what makes it powerful. It sets the standard for all nations to follow …😅

    We need to stop worrying about racism and controlling the weather and focus on the micro plastics in the food supply.

    “I accepted to come to this meeting to have a sober and mature conversation. I’m not in any way signing up to any discussion that is alarmist. There is no science out there, or no scenario out there, that says that the phase-out of fossil fuel is what’s going to achieve 1.5C.” - Sultan Al Jaber, President of COP 28, also CEO of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company Mukhtar Babayev will be the president for COP 29; he is also a former executive of the State Oil Company of Azerbaijian Republic. Seems more and more likely, scenario SSP5-8.5 of the IPCC assessment may come to fruition (or at least the higher end of the spectrum). I say enjoy what you can, while you still can; pity the generations to come.
