World Economic Forum: Could climate change cause languages to die? "An increase in climate-change related natural disasters may affect linguistic diversity."
Babbel Mag: "Climate change is also endangering the survival of many of the world’s most at-risk linguistic populations. As these communities get displaced due to rising sea levels and climatic changes that disrupt their agricultural and fishing industries, it becomes inevitably more difficult for small languages to remain viable as its speakers scatter around the globe and are forced to assimilate to local cultures."

- TIME Pushes Climate PANIC, Admits Green Transition’s Threat to Blue-Collar Workers
TIME senior correspondent Justin Worland threw thousands of other Americans under the bus when he acknowledged that a green transition would lead to building electric vehicles, which “requires less labor [fewer jobs] than does its old-fashioned counterpart.” But that’s not all. “The green transition will also displace oil, gas, and coal workers,” he wrote. But hey, that list doesn’t include journalists, so why should he care?
- NPR touts report claiming Americans are using ‘nearly four times’ the energy needed ‘to have a good & healthy life’
A new Stanford University study claims Americans use 284 gigajoules a year per capita, nearly four times that much energy, according to the new research. "That suggests to me that we could nudge energy use downwards in a bunch of hyper-consuming countries and not just make a more equitable world, but perhaps make ourselves healthier and happier," said lead author and professor of earth system science Rob Jackson.
Researchers also found that there is already enough energy used to get everyone on the planet over that threshold, if it were shared equally. Based on current global energy consumption, there are 79 gigajoules used for each person on the planet. ... There is no mechanism to redistribute energy equally around the world, and global energy needs are rising.

- Al Roker Frets to Obama That Ukraine Is Distracting From Climate Agenda
NBC’s Today All Day streaming channel, Roker fretted: “...climate is one of those things that gets pushed down when things happen. For example, now we’ve got Ukraine and there’s talk about, ‘Let’s ramp up production of fossil fuels because, you know, inflation, higher gas prices.’ Do you worry that that’s gonna push back the initiative?”
Obama desperately tried to connect the two issues: "Well, interestingly, when we see what’s happened with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it argues for us redoubling our efforts to wean ourselves off fossil fuels."
