Our press is (once again) falling down on the job - in this case failing to warn the public of how imminent the tipping point for runaway global warning is.
One idea for keeping the subject in the public eye:
A prominently displayed daily update on the current CO2 ppm count, the ppm count expected to cause 1.5⁰ warming, and estimated time to reach that level given present rate of increase. Along with a reminder of predicted effects of 1.5⁰ warming.
A black box with this info on page 1 of daily newspapers, and a few seconds in every TV news broadcast, would be the minimum the press should be doing.
Update December 20, 2019:
The Guardian is doing its bit.
