Thus the Financial Times today. “Governments must tackle threat of man-made change,” the newspaper quotes the bank’s president, Jim Yong Kim. A “frightening world” of global instability threatens unless governments do something. Some of the world’s most important food crops could be severely affected by weather extremes. Water supply is threatened in many parts of the world. Climate-related disasters are increasing in number, which will be reflected by food prices. Most important, food prices are reflected by social unrest. “As the planet warms further, heatwaves and other weather extremes, which today we call once-in-a-century events would become the new climate normal, a frightening world of increased risk and instability,” he said. Well put, and especially on the idiocy of once-in-a-century events. But Kim has next to nothing to offer by way of advice to governments the world over. What could they do, anyhow? Each and every government will wait for climate-related disasters to hit before they act. Only then they will fumble along as best they can. And they can but little. Humans are not capable of any other reaction to climate change. As for yet another warning—many thanks, Kim!
