UN report makes for grim reading: We are all to blame for the escalating crisis

It is not necessary to be as creative as Flann O’Brien to imagine that great swathes of us will quickly turn away from the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s report, which was published in Geneva yesterday. It, like every report on climate collapse, is not comforting. It again documents the turn-out-the-lights threat climate collapse holds for all of humanity — no matter how rich you are.
There is not, nor has there been, an issue so far beyond the influence of individuals determined to try to avert the catastrophe now recognised as ever more probable by science.
