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
Global energy transition policy is shifting away from climate-focused frameworks toward priorities like economic competitiveness, energy security, and green industrial strategy. While these drivers are accelerating real-world change, analysts warn the shift risks undermining commitments to a just and equitable transition, potentially leaving vulnerable nations and communities behind as wealthier countries reshape policy around national self-interest.
