The temp change isn’t a surprise. “What is a surprise is that we’re continuing to do this without acting in an emergency to address the challenge…It’s a bit like if you are hitting yourself in the face with a hammer – you can choose to stop doing that.” https://t.co/UaeZndDsp0

Spot-on by @ellamcsweeney in today’s @IrishTimes. The scientists were right, but nobody listened re. the #climate risks as break-neck dairy expansion was being planned.
