Total climate meltdown cannot be stopped, says leading UK scientist, Bill McGuire, who is emeritus professor of geophysical and climate hazards at University College London.
Blistering heatwaves are just the start.
We must accept how bad things are before we can head off global catastrophe, he says.
His latest book is Hothouse Earth.
McGuire blames a “conspiracy of ignorance, inertia, poor governance, and obfuscation and lies by climate change deniers that has ensured that we have sleepwalked to within less than half a degree of the dangerous 1.5C climate change guardrail. Soon, barring some sort of miracle, we will crash through it.”
