Concluding his 2013 piece
“Is Climate Change Already Dangerous” David Spatt said: “We are now in a world
of making the least-worst choices”.
The on-line editor of Climate Code Red and co-author of a book by the same name, Spratt says there is no
simple answer to what the world is presently experiencing.
“There is no simple answer, and we do not yet know all the
questions in detail, let alone all of the answers. Nobody ever does at the
beginning of an emergency response. That’s what makes it an emergency,” he
writes.
“But we do now know, with clear evidence that climate change
is already “dangerous”, that we are heading towards a “catastrophe”, that we
are in an emergency and, yes, we do face “…an unavoidably radical future.
“And we do know from past experience that once societies are
in emergency mode, they are capable of facing up to and solving seemingly
impossible problems.”, he says.
