The acclaimed 1990 film Awakenings tells the story of a neurologist who discovers a drug which rouses catatonic patients from decades of “sleep”.

Key Points: 
  • The acclaimed 1990 film Awakenings tells the story of a neurologist who discovers a drug which rouses catatonic patients from decades of “sleep”.
  • I had been there when the UK miraculously built a cross-party consensus around climate change.
  • I’d had what you might call a front row seat as a political consensus on climate change emerged in the UK.
  • But during the long and uncomfortable 25 minutes of Sunak’s speech, I felt I was witnessing a homage to catatonia.

Delay is costly

    • Delay is tantamount to capitulation.
    • A key economic principle follows from this: the sooner you act, the lower the final bill.
    • Those costs are already being counted: fires in Europe and Canada, droughts in North America and Africa, floods in Libya.
    • It’s no surprise to find an embattled political party trying to draw clear blue water between itself and the opposition.
    • Not content with betraying the interests of the future, Sunak’s speech has helped turn climate change into a sordid culture war.
    • Every Wednesday, The Conversation’s environment editor writes Imagine, a short email that goes a little deeper into just one climate issue.
