Climate Change Is a Very, Very Powerful Story

Climate change is in effect, it's a conspiracy. It's a story of a liberal conspiracy that is using this idea of climate change to put restrictions on free markets. A very different story, more recent one I would suggest is this story of a hot house earth. There's always been some degree an apocalyptic edge to some of the stories that circulate around climate change but I would argue in the last five or six years these have become particularly more prominent. Partly triggered by a particular paper here by Will Stephan and others which talked about the hot house earth,. The idea of tipping points where a global tipping point or a series of regional tipping points after which actually the climate runs out of control.
