The EU report is detailed and gives an impression that a 3°C planet would be harsh but manageable under the same institutions. The report does not wonder about unknown unknowns. It does not address supply-chain disruption, financial contagion or people displacement. It lives in a fancy Fortress Europe. The report also never mentions #AMOC once, even as the evidence for the risk of its collapse to Europe hardens and Iceland starts treating it as a national security threat: https://mas.to/@maugendre/111917327688619004 🧵 #climatePolicy #adaptation #climateChange #livability #policy #climate #futures #EUPol #Europe #risks #riskAssessment

#Adaptation gets treated as technical work when it's extremely political. Someone decides which communities are defended, which regions are given up, and who pays. France's mega-basin enforcers show how such centralization triggers organised resistance: https://climatejustice.social/@breton/112934411029720286 Whatever gets planned has to be delivered inside worsening instability. Budgets raided by the latest emergency, civil services running on depleted trust, supply chains competing against reconstruction elsewhere. Researchers call this derailment risk, and every plan should account for it: https://scri.org.uk/publications/report-derailment-risk … #climatePolicy #adaptation #climateChange #livability #policy #climate #riskAssessment #derailment #climateEmergency #agriculture

@eric@social.coop So they're writing reports to support their continued insistence on maintaining the status quo now? Great.
