WE'RE IN A CLIMATE CASINO. HERE'S HOW TO FIGHT AGAINST THE ODDS


EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS POINT TO AN INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS ROULETTE GAME WE PLAY.

UPCOMING GLASGOW CLIMATE CONFERENCE.

Frequently asked questions

Imagine you are in a casino where the roulette wheels have only red and black
colours. You win if the ball falls on black, and the house wins on red.
Currently, more black than red slots exist, so it is a tempting game to play as
the odds are in your favour.

However, what if the croupier adds more reds to the wheels over time? Will you
still play when the odds significantly go against you?
