It has been compared to the hugely influential Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change 15 years ago, which famously framed global warming as the greatest and most wide-ranging market failure ever seen. Sir David Attenborough said: "The survival of the natural world depends on maintaining its complexity, its biodiversity.

As with the last summit, the risk continues to be that greenwashing leaves governments with “a vision that tinkers around the edges,”rather than a transformative one that creates food systems that are resilient and restore ecosystems,” as Shefali Sharma, director of the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP), warned at COP27.

So yeah, there's a little cheat that we did: we took away the hyper-object of global warming, which is so vast and timeless and slow-moving, and we put in a very concrete event, a comet. This risk increases steeply with rises in global temperature. It is entirely possible the worst case warming scenarios can be averted.

If you simply want somewhere to grow your own food, or to work with your hands in the soil, there are other possible options, so it is worth asking: Is there already a community garden near you? Community growing areas can improve local biodiversity and protect local wildlife.

Planting trees encourages the absorption of carbon dioxide, one of the key greenhouse gases responsible for global warming. Restoring forests, then, would mean more protection for native wildlife, nurturing local biodiversity and the overall stewardship of the environment. Soil quality and quantity are maintained.
