10 big initiatives to avert the climate catastrophe

British prime minister Boris Johnson has a penchant for the dramatic. At the inaugural of the global climate change summit in Glasgow on November 1, he compared the situation to that of Scotland’s most famous son, the fictional secret agent James Bond, being strapped to a “doomsday device” that will destroy the planet. With the countdown timer rapidly ticking towards zero, Bond desperately tries to defuse it. Johnson then went on to say, “We are in roughly the same position my fellow global leaders as James Bond today except that the tragedy is this is not a movie… the doomsday device is real... it’s ‘one minute to midnight’ to prevent climate catastrophe.”
