Monbiot: Climate Argument Has Shifted From Denial to Nihilism

Monbiot says the argument has shifted from science denial to nihilism, calling Heath's lack of empathy psychopathic. He notes Heath's column landed as drought was declared across half of England and the Mediterranean burned, and counters that renewables are already cheaper than fossil fuels, so the climate war is not lost. Monbiot warns that if rich nations like Britain free-ride on emissions cuts, global action collapses, and that models suggest warming could stall the Atlantic current, plunging Britain into extreme cold. He concludes Heath is more wrong more often than anyone else in British journalism.
