A cartoon. Ten men in suits sit around a large table at a board meeting. The man at the head of the table is saying: The bad news is the company's position that "Climate change isn't real" is becoming increasingly untenable... The good news is that if we hold on for a bit longer, we can effortlessly switch to "Oops! it's real, but now it's too late to do anything about it."ALT

My latest cartoon for New Scientist

To be clear, this isn’t a bit. This is what they actually did. “Its too late” is the new “Climate change isn’t real”… And its still a lie!

Every serious climate scientist agrees that there is no such as thing as too late, just as there is no such thing as too early. We should have done a lot more than we have to fight climate change, and the world will suffer for our inaction, but there is no point of no return. We can always work to reduce the amount of suffering that occurs, and eventually turn things around to the point where our planet is healing once again. Do not believe anyone who says it’s “too late”.
