    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    That year, fires were raging in Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Croatia and Cyprus, and I was three months pregnant.

    I spent a lot of time in Mati, a small town on the east coast of Greece, less than 20 miles from Athens.

    In a cafe that had survived the fire, a hub of safety and community for survivors, I met brave children who now have to live with terrible scars, physical and emotional.

    In her book Engaging With Climate Change, the psychoanalyst Sally Weintrobe says that “many people who accept anthropogenic global warming continue to locate it as a problem of the future”.

    It is normal for us to focus entirely on possible arson or mistakes that may have been made, because they are real and easier to resolve, and to turn away from our contribution to this colossal catastrophe that is unfolding around us.

    Chris Rapley, a professor of climate science at University College London, says “fundamental attitudinal and behavioural changes are required in which we weave into our every action the need to respect and protect our environmental life-support system”.
