Acres of coverage today for the 'news' that the UK is leaving the EU. We knew that already, it will take ages to sort everything out. Ultimately not much will change.

Trump tinkering with energy and environment policy matters to all of us because whatever trading bloc we do or don't belong to, climate change is something we need to be doing something about. We don't get to opt out of European temperature rises because we're no longer in the EU, and Trump doesn't get to build a wall round America to keep extreme weather or rising sea levels out.

Read my review of Kim Stanley Robinson's new novel, New York 2140. Then read the book itself. Then think about what you can do to make a difference.
