Where are we with the “Global Warming” debate? Or:
Emergency? - What Emergency?
Some reporters and commentators go on about climate change crisis, it’s generally referred to as global warming, a problem. Now some are saying, emergency. In fact the Guardian has recently decided to use the tag, climate emergency. Typical left-wing proto-socialist medium I hear some typical right-wing pro conservative commentators ask, Emergency? What Emergency?
And the atmospheric COtwo level relentlessly ticks up, as we’ve mentioned many times here on Being Green. 413 parts-per-million and counting.
I’m so glad we’re joined this morning by one who can really throw a light on it all, who’s been living with it since way back in 2007 and earlier. Science writer, reporter, food security evaluator, environment monitor, Leonie Joubert. Acclaimed researcher and activist with a definite view, not a mincer of words!
Author of numerous book chapters, and individual publications including:
Scorched: South Africa’s Changing Climate, (Wits University Press, 2006), 2007 Sunday Times Alan Paton non-fiction Award.
