Earlier this week I criticised the World Meteorological Organization for its use of what I regard as an unscientific term: “out of balance”

I’m realising today that it’s drawing upon Doughnut Economics 3.0

And noting here that my reaction earlier in the week is borne out of context collapse that the WMO itself propagated…

…If one is going to use a phrase like ‘Out of balance’ in a major world communiqué, one really must contextualise it.

‘Out of balance’ makes good sense in the *human* context of Doughnut Economics as a framing.

It does not make sense (at least it does not to me) within the *impersonal* geological/meteorological frame.
