Those climate fires never stopped. While I understand the stress of the neoliberal economy cost of living crisis that many New Zealanders are concerned about this election year (food, petrol, increasing debt, diminishing standard of living), I can only assume now that most people don’t actually take climate change that seriously. All of which is to say, the most urgent and most neglected crisis we are in is the one that requires us to drop GHGs very fast in order to keep climate change survivable. Yes, the cost of living crisis is serious. The current cost of living crisis is nested like a Russian Doll, within the bigger crises of climate and ecology.
