"Decades of pretence are coming to a close. Rapid changes in our climate are waking us up to the reality that we and the Earth are one system.
The wasted years mean we are woefully unprepared for the consequences of our actions.
Our civilization of separation is finished."
—Jem Bendell
Climate Change Emergency
Estimated impact:
- 5 million deaths per year from intense heat and cold alone, and this emergency is not going anywhere.
General Response:
"I am hesitant to make any lifestyle changes because the science is wrong, politicians just want our tax dollars, and what one person does won't make a difference anyway."
Coronavirus Emergency
Estimated impact: 4 million deaths so far over a year and a half, and the pandemic is coming to a close.
General Response:
"The science is indisputable, and anyone that says any different is spreading dangerous misinformation.
The facts cannot be questioned, even by experts.
The entirety of humanity must stop all economic and social activity, and get a jab at Warp Speed.
Those who fail to comply will be sanctioned for their selfish inaction."

Let the billionaires have their money - you can't eat gold and, since most countries have gone to plastic currency, you can't even burn it to keep you warm at night. As soon as Covid-19 began to spread across the globe my first thoughts were that there were going to be a fair number of us who were going to hear opportunity knocking and who were going to heed that knock over the death cries of others - sadly, much as it has been throughout most of human history. Doesn't mean I am not angry, but today I am going to channel that anger into a four hour shift at the local food bank.
