    This is NOT good. Our Grandchildren will curse us unless we REALLY take this seriously. (I believe it is too late)
    The ocean is rising as the glaciers melt. Ozone is growing beyond are ability to fix. The planet is wounded and the earthlings stumble and procrastinate.

    It is too late to stop all the disasters of climate change, but we
    can still mitigate the problem and avoid even worse disasters. Although,
    it may be too late to save a lot of expensive coastal real estate like Mar-a-Lago.

    The stuff in the Inflation Reduction Act will halp a lot,
    but there is more needed, even beyond what was in the
    Build Back Better proposals that Manchin and the Republicans nixed.

    The news on the ozone front is better. The Montreal Protocol has been effective, and the ozone layer is recovering (growing), the holes
    in the ozone layer are shrinking restoring the UV shielding that
    protects us. The emission standards on vehicles etc. have made
    a big difference in reducing ground level ozone at least in the advance economies. Ozone is a two edged thing. We want it in ozone layer in the
    upper atmosphere where it shields us from a lot of UV radiation, but
    we don't want it at ground level, where breathing it will damage our lungs.
