This interesting article by the UK's Tom Burke and John Ashton appeared a few days ago on Open Democracy. Worth a read. You can also take part in an online debate about it.
Quote: "Preserving a stable climate is essential for personal, economic and national security in the 21st century. The maintenance of security in all three modes is the primary task of government. A stable climate, like secure borders, safe streets, a healthy and educated population or efficient transport infrastructure is a public good. It can no more be achieved without public investment than can any other public good. Today there is a climate clock ticking out the future for us all."

Climate change is now constantly in the news. Those of us who have worked on this issue for years suddenly feel less lonely...But many people are now suddenly feeling overwhelmed by the information overload. This blog is a very personal selection of significant news. Rather than repeat what can be found elsewhere, I try to provide new angles, or talk a bit about things that haven't been reported much in the mainstream press.
