Murderous heat, an endangered food supply, decimated landscapes: embrace the Mediterranean life | George Monbiot
Matched: climate
George Monbiot critiques what he sees as a shift in climate change denial — from disputing the science to embracing nihilism. He targets Daily Telegraph editor Allister Heath, who argued that since the "war against global warming has been lost," Britain should abandon net zero and accept a warmer climate. Monbiot characterises this stance as celebrating civilisational collapse rather than engaging seriously with climate consequences.

Matched: climate
Governments of major carbon-emitting nations were aware of climate risks from fossil fuels as far back as the 1960s, earlier than publicly acknowledged. Despite this knowledge, they withheld information, reportedly to avoid accountability for their role in driving global warming.
