No matter how dire the news, there's still no meaningful global response. I'm not convinced that humans, as a species, are even capable of reaching a consensus on any issue, no matter how urgent. Which means organizing in concert to act on it is a moot point.

Meh, let them drown.

Tangier’s imminent climate change demise ‘should alarm us all’
Rising seas are engulfing Tangier Island so quickly that most of its remaining residents may be forced to flee the low-lying Chesapeake Bay community during the next decade, according to a bleak new assessment published Nov. 8 in Frontiers of Climate.

Many Tangier residents doubt that the climate is changing despite strong evidence that rising seas and stronger storms are scouring the island away at an alarming rate, or they point to erosion as a much greater concern. Many agree with former President Trump’s assertion during a famous 2017 phone call with the town’s mayor that they have nothing to worry about from sea level rise.

How people can see keeping the planet habitable for all life, including human, as elitist is mind boggling. I guess they don't really care what kind of climate their children and grandchildren grow up in. And their children and grandchildren. If you keep taking and wasting what you take, there won't be anything left for those who come after. Why would they do that to their own? Why won't they look past their own noses? How can they sleep at night knowing they are making this world far worse than it should have ever been?

Satellites discover huge amounts of undeclared methane emissions (msn.com)

Huge amounts of uncounted emissions of highly warming greenhouse gas methane are being released by "super-emitters" all over the world, satellite observations reveal.

Scientists have only recently worked out how to detect methane emissions from space, but what they have seen since has taken them by surprise. The greenhouse gas, which is 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide, is leaking from gas pipelines, oil wells, fossil fuel processing plants and landfills all over the world. It is frequently released through negligence and improper operations; the emissions, in many cases, are not accounted for in mandatory greenhouse gas inventories.

"We see quite a lot of those super-emitters," Ilse Aben, senior scientist at the Netherlands Institute for Space Research (SRON) told Space.com. "These are large emissions, and we see a lot of them on the global scale — much more than we had expected."
