Which Crisis?

A UN Head, supported by world science, has noted that current attempts to limit climate change are 'way off track' and has suggested that this is a greater challenge to our species than the current coronavirus outbreak (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/mar/10/climate-emergency-global-action-way-off-track-says-un-head-coronavirus). He, in deed, goes further, arguing that we should not allow the current, highly newsworthy focus on Covid-19 to distract us from the more serious but longer-term challenge. It is interesting to note that today's UK budget leaves motorcar fuel duty exactly where it was (so, not much of a focus there).
