Water, water everywhere, not a drop to drink
Recent excessive flooding, rising sea levels and glacial melt combined with monsoon seasons make us have to address the world crises with full force. Water covers much of our planet, but a small percentage is drinkable. The land we walk … Continue reading
Fact: rich nations are largely responsible for the extreme effects of climate change
Flooded areas of Pakistan look as though an ocean has deposited itself there. Hardly any land visible for the population to cling to whilst they await rescue. Scientists have long since explained why this has been progressively worsening over the … Continue reading
Human existence has weaponised the environment
David Wallace – Wells, author of The Uninhabitable Earth: A Story of the Future, tells us a truth we must, by now, all understand. He says it is “…the end of normal” because ” we have already exited the state … Continue reading
