Powerful message on national security from Lt Gen Richard Nugee

"We are not yet acting as if peace and tackling climate change are two sides of the same coin.

Cascading risks mean we face instability at home, the potential of an ungovernable state, the very breakdown of the norms of society."

Prof Paul Behrens crystal clear on food and diet: @profpaulbehrens.bsky.social

"We need a great food transformation. That means far less meat and dairy.

I know it's politically difficult, but we have to be honest.

When families can't feed their children, society breaks down."

Some sobering reflections from PIK's Johan Rockstrom, including the message that you can't just give up and adapt to what comes.
"There's no evidence that we can adapt to anything beyond two degrees Celsius," Rockstrom said. Beyond 3C would mean "disaster mode" for billions.

The great irony of all of this? Most of these climate change impacts will be borne, most immediately and acutely, by poorer nations in the Global South--precisely those on whose behalf the memo authors are ostensibly advocating. That's why this memo makes me viscerally uncomfortable. [13/n]

I find this idea we can just adapt and give up on trying to halt temp rise wildly idiotic. Adapt to what then? You basically have a moving target. Which we may get anyway as you say because of the land sinks, but doing it by choice would be insane and likely very very expensive
