For 20 years, the billionaire press told us "we can easily adapt to a warmer world".

Try telling that to people in Germany, Belgium and the western seaboard of North America. And this is just one degree of heating.

The media did this, as surely as the fossil fuel companies. Let's not forget those who told us there was little to worry about. People with massive media platforms, who helped push us towards catastrophe.

• Matt Ridley
• Bjorn Lomborg
• Nigel Lawson
• Christopher Booker
• David Rose
• Peter Hitchens ....The roll of dishonour is long and grim

And, of course, their editors and proprietors. And the so-called thinktanks shilling for the fossil fuel companies. Doubtless they all believed they were being ever so clever. But if we recall their names at all, we'll remember them as traitors to humanity...
