California, Australia, the Mediterranean - climate scientists have warned for decades that these regions would dry out and face massive fires. #GlobalHeating is a journey without return - all we can do is prevent it from getting much worse, by cutting CO2 emissions to zero.

For example, here's the oldest of my talks which I have on video. From minute 15 I warn about the drying of the Mediterranean and fires in Greece, California, Australia...

It's been like talking for decades to a wall of ignorance and flat-out denial of reality.

Here I'm explaining the drought crisis to the European Peoples Party - on the panel Greek PM Mitsotakis. The EPP then voted against the majority in the European parliament asking for -60% climate target by 2030, claiming it's ideological and costs jobs. flickr.com/photos/eppoffi…
