#ClimateChange is just a SYMPTOM of our grow-dependent, grossly materialistic, mercenary, rapacious & DRIVEN global economy, which is inherently UNSUSTAINABLE on our finite, vulnerable & overpopulated planet, #SpaceshipEarth.

We were warned about this in the early 1970s, but what did economists (who are #SocialScientists!) do? They advised our leaders to put this very economy into super-global & turbo mode, thereby putting us on course for civilisational suicide, which is where we NOW are.
Annoyingly, the academics responsible for this are either already dead & gone, or living in retirement on their fat pensions & investments. For THEM it paid off - handsomely, but at the expense of #GretaThunberg & her generation, & all generations to come.
1/n #Water folks on twitter. The second order draft of @IPCC_CH will be open for review on 4th Dec. Please register and provide your valuable comments. Our author team of 12 LAs and 50+ CA’s have worked hard to gather evidence on impact of CC on water and society. Help us improve
2/n. This is the last time the draft will undergo expert review. Next draft will only undergo government review. Our #water chapter is 60 pages long and covers a lot of material. It may seem a bit overwhelming to review so much material. Some tips based on my own experience.
3/n. Read the 2 pages Executive Summary. Curly brackets at end of each sentence/paragraph tells you which section of the chapter that finding pertains to. Feel free to skip to your chosen section(s) based on your expertise and interest and provide comments for those sections.
