Official assessments understating climate-related impacts on food and water security, and critical-ecosystem collapse: theconversation.com/a-uk-climate...
A UK climate security report backed by the intelligence services was quietly buried – a pattern we’ve seen many times before
Governments have been warned about climate change for 70 years. They’re still suppressing the worst news.

theconversation.com/around-250-m... Plants = Earth's life support system
Around 250 million years ago, Earth was near-lifeless and locked in a hothouse state. Now scientists know why
The answer confirms scientists’ suspicion that when our planet’s climate crosses certain ‘tipping points’, truly catastrophic ecological collapse can follow.
