Alright Stop! Collaborate and Listen

Phew! Today’s another absolute scorcher, pour yourself a cold drink and strap yourselves in for today’s blog, Happy Friday Friends.

We’ve already had a flaming June which was the warmest since records began by the way and today we’ve measured a blistering 29 degrees Celsius on the tarmac down here at Kingsnorth in Kent. Scorchio!

Sun-worshippers will be loving it and if you’re at the seaside you have had a proper result, but in the environmental world, everything that has been predicted is coming true and simply put, the man made global warming has caused this extremely dangerous climate crisis.

Across the planet we are experiencing weather events that are catastrophic, wildfires floods, droughts, tidal waves and tsunamis. In Antarctica, the Polar Ice Caps are melting fast.

I know I’m repetitive and keep banging on about the urgency week after week but it is critical that we race to Carbon Net Zero50 with intent and commitment to halt the rising global temperatures

Now Climate Change is no laughing matter but sometimes a little humour can help with the gravity of the situation. Nowhere is this more evident than in the plight of the polar icecaps. These frozen wonderlands are at the frontline of climate change, bearing the brunt of rising temperatures and their devastating effects. So, let’s take a light-hearted yet informative look at the comical side of this serious issue.

This week’s tune is Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice but in terms of the Polar Icecaps it’s really a case of Ice Ice Maybe?

The polar icecaps are those iconic sheets of ice They’ve witnessed countless failed attempts at walking on water by both humans and animals alike. But today, they face a real existential crisis. Thanks to climate change, they are experiencing a rather unexpected case of stage fright.

Polar bears have long been the poster children of the Arctic, renowned for their powerful presence and majestic beauty. However, as climate change pushes the icecaps toward oblivion, these mighty predators are left feeling like they’ve been stood up on a blind date. Their traditional hunting grounds are vanishing, forcing them to resort to desperate measures. They are now looking for potential partners on mainland shores, and their dating profiles have changed from “Ice Bear seeking Queen to Polar Bear in need of hugs and Climate Action”

Over in the Antarctic, penguins are waddling through the challenges of climate change with their characteristic resilience. These tuxedo-wearing avian comedians have become the jokers of the icecaps. Their clumsy attempts to navigate the rapidly shrinking icebergs could give any circus clown a run for their money. But beneath the humour, their predicament serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance  of ecosystems and the urgent need for conservation.

Now, let’s turn our attention to the serious side of the issue. The melting of the polar icecaps has far-reaching consequences that extend beyond the animal kingdom. Rising sea levels threaten coastal communities worldwide, making climate change the ultimate water park ride no one signed up for. From Venice to Miami, water levels are rising as they start to sink.

Climate change is wreaking havoc on our planet, and the polar icecaps are bearing the brunt of its devastating effects. While humour may help us cope, it’s important to recognise the gravity of the situation. The hilarious antics of seals, polar bears, and penguins can bring a smile to our faces, but they also serve as a stark reminder of the urgent need for action. We must put a halt to the melting icecaps and preserve these unique ecosystems for future generations. So, let’s join forces, laugh a little, and take action to ensure that the joke of climate change doesn’t end up being on us.

In the meantime enjoy your barbeques and ice creams, don’t forget to slap some sunny on and drink plenty of water, or beer!

Thanks for reading, Have a beautiful weekend.
