This is alarming.

Our experience in Australia with bickering between the states over the starved & failing Murray river shows that even when the catastrophes are local we do not deal with them well.

As with all aspects of the global polycrisis, ‘It’s mine! You can’t have it!’ Is not the answer. Sadly this appears to be the only response our politicians know. Or that our media approve.

There will be huge movements of populations as local ecosystems collapse. It seems to me that the belligerent climate deniers of the far right have always known this. The cruel & aggressive actions they’ve taken to police borders have been a preemptive response to the catastrophes they’ve always known are coming.

We have been successfully distracted by the sideshows these clowns run & the fatuous team sport reporting delivered by our media.

How do we shift this?
