In response to Shock as warming accelerates, 1.5C is breached faster than forecast

Getting the message through

Convincing voters that we have a problem that needs a solution is difficult (Shock as warming accelerates, 1.5C is breached faster than forecast, 17/2).

The facts may be smack-in-the-face obvious to many people but unfortunately there exists a large body of people who are swayed by conservative writers in the Murdoch papers and the ever negative Coalition.

Even if they think there is a problem they are easily swayed by uncosted and unfunded pie-in-the-sky solutions like nuclear and carbon capture. Those beyond that point to the odd cold and wet day as irrefutable evidence that climate change is crap.
