This is a global warming sign ⚠️ Global temperatures continue to rise, with heatwaves, droughts, and extreme weather events becoming more frequent and intense worldwide.

Record temperatures in major global growing regions have delayed planting and hurt crops as the impact of climate change intensifies, with Russia, China, India and parts of the UAE experiencing extreme heat and below-normal rainfall. These aren't just distant headlines - they're symptoms of a warming world that affects us all. 🌡️

We're at a critical juncture. With half the year behind us, it's time to amplify our efforts in the fight against climate change. Every action counts, from reducing our carbon footprint to advocating for sustainable policies. ❗️

What steps will you take in the second half to contribute to a cooler, more sustainable future in 2030? Let's turn the tide on global warming and ensure a liveable planet for generations to come. The clock is ticking, but together, we can make a difference. 🙏🏼

Should I continue producing my podcast, In Good We Trust? A new episode has just come out on “The Ethics of Patriotism,” just in time for July 4! These short ethical commentaries (about 10 minutes each) are available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music (Audible). You can also access them on the Philadelphia Ethical Society home page (https://phillyethics.org/) or directly at our fireside link: https://ingoodwetrust.fireside.fm/.

Please let me know what you think. I’d love to hear what you like and don’t like about it.

If you do like it, and want to contribute, I’d absolutely love it if you send me a comment that I can add to or show. Better yet, send me a ”Voice Memo” which could be included on an upcoming podcast as part of a “feedback from some listeners” feature. "Voice Memos," a very easy to use App available from Apple.

Goodness knows we need more ethical thinking in this world. This is my modest contribution to that effort. If you think it’s worth continuing, please share this email with your friends and social networks!

Thanks, Hugh
