EVERY WARNING IGNORED FOR VIRUS AND CLIMATE

December 2019 to March 2020 to prepare for the vicious virus, the authorities - local, regional and national twiddled their thumbs.  They failed to prepare for the worst while hoping for the best.  Not a single thing, it seems.  No contact tracing, no extra supplies of PPE, test kits and extra ventilators.  But, continuing austerity for the NHS and social care that had started in 2010.

From 1988, with the formation of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, to the present to prepare for the Really Big Crisis - NOTHING.  Simply, business as usual.  Evermore and everlasting finite fossil fool politicians and their officers.  More deadly, catastrophic greenhouse gases.  We are sleepwalking into a nightmare of our own prevarication and complacency.
