COP26 will go down in history as a shockingly nihilistic betrayal of the human race by nations' leaders. (That's if we are lucky enough to have a history for anything to go down in!) Terrifying. As many concerned 'ordinary people' have pointed out, COP26 leaves us with no other available option than ramping up civil unrest. Our complacent political representatives are seemingly on the side of death, or perhaps 'anti-life', having given up on any kind of meaningful action. My prediction for 2022 is it will be the year in which the first acts of what will no doubt be called 'climate terrorism' begin - although for many people the word 'terrorism' will be meaningless, it will simply be a case of a fight for survival of their home. As the parent of an under-10 I am questioning my job, my time, where I live, our diet... my whole life really, in terms of how I can do anything, however small, to make his future world less of a hell for him than it is already locked into becoming.
