Clearly politicians continue to know more than climate scientists. I mean, numbers going up is a good thing, right?

We are so fucked.

We are indeed well and truly fucked.

I do wonder how bad it’s going to get before we actually react. Clearly we need to change our entire tax system to be based on carbon expenditure. That’ll both tax wealth more, so it’s progressive, and drive towards efficiency. The age of flying for a holiday, should all but end. Maybe a once in a lifetime thing, rather than once or twice a year.

But nothing will change. Poor people will die. Rich people will continue to sip champagne while they fly over the people wallowing in the dust-bowl below.

Don't we deserve it if we keep voting for those kind of politicians, and reject the ethical ones?
