Pull up a chair and let’s talk climate! We’ll kick things off with my embarrassing ski wipeout story (turns out "slowly creeping toward cornices" is terrible advice) before getting real about what happens when Earth heats up past 1.5°C. No jargon, just straight talk about melting ice caps, rising seas, and collapsing ecosystems that our kids will actually face in their lifetimes.
Sure, it gets heavy—we're heading toward 2.3-3.1°C warming unless we change course—but I'm not here to leave you hopeless. We've got roughly 20-30 years to make choices that matter. The difference between 1.5°C and 3°C isn't just numbers; it's the difference between challenge and catastrophe. Next week I'll explore China's surprising climate moves (not all bad news!). Until then, keep paying attention—because this stuff? It actually matters.
