Stop the cuts at Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust

'Existing buildings and infrastructure should be upgraded to withstand temperatures of at least 2C higher than normal by 2050... Any new constructions intended to last decades should be prepared for 4C above preindustrial levels – a level at which the world will face global devastation.'
This report is disingenuous and dangerously misleading
Astonishingly, it even suggests that adapting to 4C 'will not be costly' 😮
The reality is organised adaption to 4C is impossible
The world will 'adapt' to 4C via economic and societal collapse
