Everything Changes

We have witnessed limited, restrained violence directed at political authority at Paiporta near Valencia, Spain. It was a spontaneous expression of anger from people having experienced an extreme ordeal believing that they have been ignored and neglected.

People will soon come to realise that the extreme weather experienced in Spain amoung similar extreme weather events is a result of the fossil fuel industry and politicians having jointly destroyed the planet’s climate rather than an isolated event.

We are in transition to a new global reality – sound familiar? – because climate changes are so extreme that the old reality which we are leaving is no longer viable. It’s not a matter of choice: the climate has been destroyed, we are going to experience more and more severe weather events. We’re basically at 1.5C – the limit of the Paris agreement – now. WTF is coming even in 5 years time?
