One way in which the climate debate has changed in the last year or so is the emergence of a kind of “climate death cult”. This was always there in the background (see this comment from Andy West on my previous post) but recently has come into the mainstream media, with widespread talk of “extinction” … Continue reading

Should universities declare a “climate emergency”?
At a website called WONKHE, which arrogantly claims that it is “the home of higher education policy, bringing the sector together through expert, trusted and essential analysis”, there’s a blog post saying Declaring a climate emergency is an important first step.
