Le Monde is delivering excellent journalism on both the immediate emergency and the long term outlook for all forms of life in the EU under current climate scenarios. Heat pumps are a growth market in the EU! Ditto for electrocoagulation and water generators to maximize water resources.

In thinking back to the 60s, it is clear that this time is different. The opposition is flagrant. Unbowed. And, lives in fear or reverence of its leader. Nixon did not incite fear. Today, we have nothing to fear but fear itself.
