Europe is the fastest warming continent in the world, and climate risks are threatening its energy and food security, ecosystems, infrastructure, water resources, financial stability, and people’s health. According to the European Environment Agency’s (EEA) assessment, published today, many of these risks have already reached critical levels and could become catastrophic without urgent and decisive action.

    Planet earth is not prepared for rapidly growing climate risks.

      The planet will be fine don’t worry, it’s mostly us humans that are going to have a problem.

          Yes, them too of course but others will probably thrive. The planet has been through worse times than these (see: dinosaurs). It’s a big rock and it won’t collapse because we’re fucking with it.

          It’s habitability that’s the real problem.

            Indeed, the existence of life on Earth as a whole is not threatened by climate change (probably not even humanity). I’d consider it a matter of ethics regarding the life of individuals though.

        That’s what people mean when they say planet earth, though. It’s referring to the animals, not the non-biological matter.

          Both human and non-human animals of course I assume? The current ones obviously. Life in general will probably be fine, it’s just the specific types of life currently inhabiting earth that are going to have a bit of trouble.

          Good news for whatever gets the chance to climb to the top of the heap once mammals are gone. My money’s fungi but that’s mostly because I like Orks.

      Europe is certainly not prepared for climate change but I have the feeling that the rest of the world might be even further behind.

      The planet does not care. He will survive with no problem. Human society … well.

    Following all kinds of politics, local, domestic and international, it’s extremely frustrating to watch how one project after another gets approved without even considering the pledges that were already made.

    It’s not taken seriously at all. Apparently biodiversity is a potted plant along road expansions, ground water means drainage in the parking lot and trees are obstructing the seaside views.
