We think the climate crisis in terms of extreme weather events & melting glaciers.

What we should be worried about is the collapse of countless microorganisms & insects—the foundation of our very existence.

If they go, there will be no weathering this. And many are already going extinct.

Worse yet, even we aren't seeing the whole picture, let alone communicating it. We think of the climate crisis in terms of extreme weather events & melting glaciers.

What we should be worried about is the collapse of countless species that make up the foundation of our very existence—It has begun.
People still think the alternative to an energy transition is the status quo—continued prosperity.

It's not. The alternative to urgent action is ecological collapse. In our lifetime.

The Climate Crisis is less about weather events & rising oceans than it is about a failing biosphere.

And only one woman? Why? And the one chosen not young and definitely not fit or able to represent the views of most young women.

Contemptible behaviour by the BBC however we know exactly what to expect of QT - bias, spin and a presenter who is an embarrassment to serious journalism.

BBC do better.
