Firefighters light backfires to slow the spread of the Caldor Fire in California on Aug 23, 2021. The wildfire, which began on Aug 17, has burned through more than 33,000ha. Heatwave-sparked fires have also been burning in Europe and even in the Arctic Circle – and the world can only expect more such disasters as it heats up. — Reuters
Early in August 2021, the United Nations released the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and calling it a “code red for humanity”. The report, which was put together by thousands of scientists, warned that global warming past 1.5°C could cause catastrophic affects, like “heat so intense that crops fail or people just die from being outdoors”.
Well, we are now living in that future. A world where temperatures have risen and extreme heat events have become more frequent and severe. Even this dire new report on climate change from the UN. It’s just a series of reports from any number of organisations around the world that say climate change is here, it is now a climate crisis, and it is a very real threat to our lives as we know it – and so what? Just another report telling us what we already knew. Huh, the world is gonna end? Yeah, I get it. Now let me check my crypto.
Don’t for one second think, “Oh wildfire season is here for some remote region I’ve never been to”, because as things get hotter and hotter the chances that your home could burn get better and better. Once the world gets to a tipping point, things will change fast and then there will really be no going back.
May Allah protect us
