Climate change - let’s get real, and deal | Opinion | times-herald.com
There’s been so much conjecture about a certain phrase that packs a wallop: climate change. It’s a hot issue (Was that a pun? I’ll take it, thanks). We still don’t know everything about climate change, but there’s a whole lot we do know and are discovering every day.
We shouldn’t be cherry-picking climate change information, choosing only what we want to know or are comfortable with, or worse, ignoring it altogether.

Talks are well underway in preparation for the next major international meeting on climate change, 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28), scheduled to begin Nov. 30 in the United Arab Emirates.
Much like last year’s COP27, finances — specifically, aid to developing nations — will be at the center of conference deliberations.
The conference faces an even greater sense of urgency brought on by the Sept. 8, 2023, release of the first global stocktake, which calls for accelerated action to meet the goals set in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement (COP21).
