Book titles: Chris Cunningham, Climate Change and the Cargo Cult London, Austin Macauley Publishers, 2019. (There was a warning to the world issued in the 1870s.)
Joelle Gergis, Sunburnt Country: The history and future of climate change in Australia. Melbourne University Press, 2018. (Appalling, as this is the first book about history of Climate Change ever issued in Australia; yet in the time of the first governor of NSW (Arthur Phillip), the early colony almost died because of climate difficulties with their food supply.
William Rosen, The Third Horseman: climate change and the great famine of the 14th Century. New York, Viking/Penguin USA, 2014.
Michael Mann, Our Fragile Moment. Scribe, 2023.(Reviewer finds it is pitched midway between denialism and doomism.)
Expect wierd things to happen to the world of employment: the world is on the cusp of an AI explosion. (The compiler is a pessimist, not an optimist; this may have coloured this compilation.) Expect wierd things to happen to government disbursements to citizens because the tax take has reduced.
Watch also for changes to scenarios, such as: Inflation/cost of living rises: and it's world-wide: at least in the "developed" world, the UK, USA, etc. Housing Crises (Australia has one nationally, but Johannesburg, South Africa has one, too). And waste less. Ed.

Climate stats: The New Year - ... 2024 ... Maybe: internationally, at least some some electricity power transmission lines will need to be put underground? By the way, The Anthropocene (human-induced Climate Change) has never happened before; so we are all now in uncharted waters, together, whether we (or the insurance company, or the government of the day) like it or not. Watch the democratic countries vomit soon. Expect to see more Australian internal migration as time goes by. Ask yourself soon whether the weather will make the planet less-than-livable.
Use search word, "Anthropocene". For like-minded websites (and there are far too few of them around the world's Internet still) see: Or, try to Google on books on Climate Change history, too - Ed.
So good! Getcha Climate Change Sausages here ...
