'Unlucky Number' - the challenges we face

George Monbiot.

Climate change, or at least our efforts to measure up to it are unlikely to be realised, according to Guardian columnist, George Monbiot.

Writing about the crises facing us (humanity), Monbiot says (and this is point 10):

National climate change programmes bear no connection to the commitments governments made at Paris. Even if these programmes are fully implemented (they won’t be), they set us on a climate change trajectory way beyond that envisaged by the agreement. And this is before we know what Trump will do.

Point 11 says:

One of the many impacts of climate breakdown – aside from such minor matters as the inundation of cities, the loss of food production and curtailment of water supplies – will be the mass movement of people, to an extent that dwarfs current migration. The humanitarian, political and military implications are off the scale.
