horsemen of the climate apocalypse

Open Archive Day

The COP25 climate summit is still rolling at Madrid, on a background of rising protest and awareness that at least offers a little bit of hope of a turnaround, as I have tried to express in this year's climate feature, which appeared last Monday.

Last year's offering was a slightly darker affair, with calculations of the environmental cost of carbon emissions and details of all the many things that were and still are going horribly wrong in the world. Back then we had Bolsonaro joining the crew of the horsemen of the climate apocalypse, this year it may be the UK's very own horror clown.

Anyhow, last year's feature is now in the open archives:

The 24th global climate summit (COP24) took place in Katowice, Poland, in December 2018. The city has historic importance in the steel industry and was transformed by modernist architecture in the 1970s. (Photo: Midnight Believer, Flickr.)
