Delorean Philosophy: A crisis climate

“I’m here because I don’t have a future!” Louise the millennial tweets to her followers. And who can blame her, having been raised on a diet of hopelessness?

Steve McAlpine looks at the apocalyptic angst that is engulfing younger generations and asks if there is no off-tap to their earth-shaking fears.

Those whose early memories are of the twin towers falling are experiencing not simply a climate crisis but a crisis climate.

Steve finds it’s a climate of crisis in seemingly every direction.
