Every year we have many massive conferences around the world on science, policy, and negotiations to deal with climate change. How can we still have no effective and cohesive global action to save our butts? 

Policy gigs like COP23 in Bonn had almost 23,000 attendees, Paris 40,000. Huge science conferences like AGU that I will soon attend has 20,000+ scientists; EGU has 15,000. Yet abrupt climate change marches on, crushing humans and ecosystems like bugs. What gives???

I’m attending my 1st AGU to investigate; please support my work at http://paulbeckwith.net
