We have all become inured to the never-ending stream of announcements of climate doom from a vast array of people who hope to sound prestigious but should know better.
It's like an unstoppable river, an ever cascading flood of doomsday predictions designed to put the unwary in so much fear of incoming doom that they will turn to anybody that will proffer a solution (even politicians) no matter how extreme and consequential such solutions may turn out to be.
We are well down that road now, and more or less used to disregarding these emanations as a deluded but inevitable backdrop to daily life - so it is slightly startling to find an article by the apparently eminent Clintel Foundation that unambiguously
"declares and affirms that the imagined and imaginary “climate emergency” is at an end"
Phew!
This is clearly the end of the era.
