Beyond the click-baity headline and framing, not to mention the oddly detached tone when addressing such apocalyptic risks, there are parts of this that are really interesting. newyorker.com/culture/cultur…

Absolutely nothing resembling modern-day global warming has happened on Earth for at least the past 2,000 years,
Never once until the Industrial Revolution did temperatures surge in the same direction everywhere at the same time.

We can support other community energy groups through groups through the hive now! We have learnt many valuable lessons about projects connected to tackling climate change & fuel poverty from advice, workshops, funded training and even generating our own electricity in SE London
South East London Community Energy Co-operative (@seloncommenergy) make a difference to people and the planet by providing solar power to schools, and helping local residents better manage their fuel bills. Find out how The Hive helped them: bit.ly/2D3D1QN

Nuclear supporters are the first to point out when wind and solar doesn't work because of the weather. So it seems only fair to note when nuclear has its own occasional shortcomings in this regard...
