“Climate change politics is increasingly not about the science, which is 90% firm. It is about communication and consensus-building on the alternatives to a fossil-fuelled civilisation if we are not to commit civilisational suicide on behalf of those who come after us.“Millions are already suffering from human-induced climate change. The rich can afford to mitigate its causes but the enduring refusal of many of them – and their corporations – to do so is sustained by a refusal to explain the science in cold winters and wet summers.”
