Cathrine Dyer & Bernard Hickey chat about the week's big climate news, including the growing impacts of weather events, alongside the non-stop stream of non-solutions to global warming
Thanks as usual Bernard and Catherine. I also read and noted in the Chat that article by George Monbiot. I hate to wish ill on people but maybe if those analysts who write and deliver those IAM's suffered due to a catastrophic climate event, it might get them to pull their finger out and properly identify the risks so organisations can take proper action. Sigh!
Perceptionware, George has coined a good term there, hope it sticks. It is quite incredible how readily these saviour technologies get regurgitated and proliferated by all kinds of sources. Even the IEA website is guilty of it. But who doesn't want to hear that miracle technology will save us, or in other words, that we can continue status quo with our lifestyles and consume our way to sustainability?

Very alarming stuff, Bernard and Catherine, but thank you for bringing it to us - much appreciated !
