Summary
Human-induced climate disruption is the most pressing issue facing our species, yet the ineffectiveness of the political response becomes ever more apparent in the face of the escalating crisis. Even as scientific projections re-emphasise the magnitude of the problem, the world’s addiction to economic growth and the fossil energy that fuels it continues to expand – and, as a result, so do carbon emissions.
