Martin Edic on climate change: 'We're here...and we are not prepared'

Martin Edic:

"I've been writing about climate for years but this feels like a tipping point, some kind of corner we are turning into a new more hostile world.

This didn’t need to happen but that doesn’t matter now. We’re here, not in the past, and we are not prepared.

We’re not prepared because a years long, massive global campaign to keep it that way has been financed by the fossil fuels industry. Another news report from the Guardian this morning details how 1500 oil and gas lobbyists have worked their way into the entire anti-climate change world, as double agents of a sort, spending money for influence that is not to our benefit."
