Next event: Climate Change

Hello,
sorry for procrastinating the decision for the next theme way too long.
We have it now, it's "Climate Change".
I also drafted an Essay, let me know what you think:
Climate Change

"Climate change" somehow sounds too innocent for what currently is
happening. Some, mostly younger people, prefer to call it climate
crisis, since its man made and hence different from the natural change
which always happened.
Some years ago, when we had an event with almost the same theme (Climate
/ Weather) it wasn't possible to say whether a heat wave is part of the
natural chaotic nature of the weather or whether it was made more likely
by the global warming. This has changed some time ago, when the new
discipline of attribution research was established.
Friederike Otto, one of the founders of this discipline, says that
climate change is nothing we must fear in the future, since it's already
here. The current heat wave in the Northern Hemisphere proves it, as
well as other occasions of extreme weather, droughts, wildfires or
hurricanes in the past years.
There should be plenty of subjects for this event. But don't think of
those direct consequences, also think about protests against it. End of
September there will be the next global climate strike by Fridays for
Future. Shoot the demonstrations, show how many not only young people
try to remind the politicians to do the right thing.
But also think of other means, f.e. how to save energy or produce
sustainable one. Or show us what further heating will destroy: Forests
(by drought or wildfire), lakes (drying out), glaciers. I guess you also
have own ideas.Show how great this planet is and help to make it great
again!
