The Metropolitan Police. The Democratic Unionist Party. Xi Jinping in Moscow. Boris Johnson at the Privileges Committee. UBS acquiring Credit Suisse. Beavers marauding around Ealing. There is always something going on that seems more urgent than climate change. More ‘newsy’. I mean, what’s another UN report or additional tonne of carbon dioxide amongst mammals who thus far can only survive on one planet?
But here we go again. Scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) say the window of opportunity to preserve a liveable climate is rapidly closing. Essentially, without urgent action to stop emitting greenhouse gasses, it doesn’t really matter how much liquidity your central bank can inject or what Northern Ireland’s second largest party thinks of the ‘Stormont brake’.
