We know the impact of climate change will be uneven & variable, but already in the Southern areas of Europe the crisis is hitting & hitting hard.... the acceleration of the climate crisis in these areas, merely offers a warning for how quickly climate patterns could change further north.
We have run out of time to debate whether its happening, or even what we might do in the future to mitigate the effects.
We are entering a period (literately & figuratively) of fire fighting!
