Long term followers of this blog (surely long-suffering? -ed) will recognise our predilection for two feeds in particular: Nature Briefings and The Conversation. You know why. Without going on for hours, it boils down to their use of the most intelligent sources, combined with a simple honesty of purpose. They don’t put out scare stories to sell newspapers, or to further the commercial interests of their owners. It’s because it is the truth.
And this time it really is scary, as both agree.[1] [2]. It seems that the Climate Crisis is now so acute that the world is now close to the points where the behaviour of natural systems, such as ice caps and rain forests, becomes non linear. In other words they suddenly break down chaotically and catastrophically. In which case, most of the systems which we rely on to keep us alive-food distribution, power networks, clean water and so on-will fail with them.
