Start of summer thoughts. In 2019:
Who will burn?
Who will drown?
Who will bake?
Who will go extinct?
Will the media connect the dots to the climate crisis?
Will people be spurred into action?
Will it be enough to matter? Will emissions stop increasing?

Without the media connecting the dots from the impacts to the cause (man-made climate breakdown) to the actions necessary to prevent things from getting much, much worse (ramping emissions down to zero within the next 2 decades), we have no hope for positive change.

Good examples in this thread of how journalists are *not* connecting the dots.
