🌍 August 1st marks Earth Overshoot Day—the date when humanity’s demand for natural resources exceeds what our planet can regenerate in a year.
What’s more, by July 1st, 2024, the UK had already used up its share of natural renewable resources.
We discussed the significance of this day for British businesses with:
* Kate Lovell, Marketing Director at @cleanology8503

Very informative
There is no objective observational evidence that we are living in a global climate crisis.
The UN's IPCC AR6 WG1, chapter 12 "Climate Change Information for Regional Impact and for Risk Assessment", page 1856, section 12.5.2, table 12.12 confirms there is a lack of evidence or no signal that the following have changed:
Air Pollution Weather (temperature inversions),
Aridity,
Avalanche (snow),
Average precipitation,
Average Wind Speed,
Coastal Flood,
Agricultural drought,
Hydrological drought,
Erosion of Coastlines,
Fire Weather (hot and windy),
Flooding From Heavy Rain (pluvial floods),
Frost,
Hail,
Heavy Rain,
Heavy Snowfall and Ice Storms,
Landslides,
Marine Heatwaves,
Ocean Acidity,
Radiation at the Earth’s Surface,
River/Lake Floods,
Sand and Dust Storms,
Sea Level,
Severe Wind Storms,
Snow, Glacier, and Ice Sheets,
Antarctic Sea Ice,
Tropical Cyclones.
A very important topic that is core to our BigChange Purpose. Great job, Eoin, Kate, Jo and Jonathan
