"...A unique species of flying reptile, or #Pterosaur, that lived 168-166 million years ago has been discovered on the Isle of #Skye...

"...Scientists were surprised to find a pterosaur from this period - they were thought to mostly live in China.

"...The creature - called Ceoptera - is the second pterosaur found on Skye..."

Who are on the frontlines of the #ClimateCrisis

• those living in places that are close to human and animal thermal limits
• those living near rivers and ice
• those living near coastlines.

As we continue to heat the risks are going to rise exponentially on the front lines, and it’s happening already at +1.3° of heating.

We can’t avoid 1.5° which is now imminent. Climate chaos awaits.

How do we decide what a "true threat" is when we have no cultural consensus on what a "reasonable person" is?
