      • Reference to weather
      • Difficulty to categorise or identify complicated problems with headings
      • Overlap of issues (e.g. Runaway Technology can lead to Damaged Ozone)
      • Human centred (anthropocentric) - link to Shallow Ecology

      • Human priority - all issues affect  them
