As human beings, we are vulnerable to confusing the unprecedented with the improbable.

Being told about the effects of climate change is an appeal to our reason and to our desire to bring about change.

Look, very clearly there are things that need to be done urgently in relation to climate change, and of those the most obvious is to have an enforceable and equitable arrangement delivering deep cuts in emissions into the middle of the century. ↗
