Global Warming and Over-Tourism.

From a recent large scientific report from the National Academy of Sciences: The next decade may decide humanity’s fate: “[S]elf-reinforcing feedbacks could push the Earth toward a planetary threshold that, if crossed, could prevent stabilization of the climate & cause continued warming on a Hothouse Earth pathway even as human emissions are reduced” — Alex…
