Friend,
A major study from NOAA released this week found that atmospheric CO 2
has reached the highest levels in 800,000 years.
Think about that. Eight. Hundred. Thousand. Years.
The study also found that sea levels have reached an all-time high as a
result of melting glaciers and ice sheets, and that 2020 was one of the
three hottest years on record, despite a La Niña cooling trend.
But in contrast to the response earlier this month to the alarming
report from the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change—the first
IPCC assessment report in eight years—this new report has received
almost zero attention whatsoever.
Covering the climate emergency for one day every eight years just isn't
going to cut it.
Common Dreams has covered the climate emergency as the #1 threat to
humanity every day for more than 20 years, even when there are other
major stories in the news to cover like the end of the war in
Afghanistan and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
But traffic to our website has declined sharply in the last year as a
result of changes in the algorithms used by Google and Facebook. Fewer
readers means fewer donations. Meanwhile, the number of people signing
up as recurring donors has dropped in half since Donald Trump left
office.
That's why it's especially urgent that we meet our Summer Campaign goal
of raising $75,000 by the end of the month, so that we can keep
publishing and providing the daily coverage of the climate emergency
that the corporate media won't. Please chip in whatever you can afford
today, and help reach our goal.
