The first comprehensive assessment of trends in Southern Ocean ecosystems reveals an urgent need to address climate change. The summary for policymakers can guide decision-makers.
We all know this. We are all powerless to change it. Corporations and governments control whether or not it can be changed. Politicians worldwide are being fed by the pollution industry. The poors voting changes nothing until the corporations and politicians decide to do something about it.
Walkable cities? Great idea. Needs politicians to approve zoning restrictions. Don’t drive cars? Great idea. Needs politicians to build public transportation infrastructure. Electric cars? Great idea. Needs corporations to produce them at an affordable cost. Etc etc etc.
There will never be a day when 10 billion people in the world get on the same page to demand the end of anything. We can’t even get a tenth of that many to agree to stop killing each other over border squabbles.
Well the longer this goes the fewer people will have to get on the same page.
Get in line, scientists.
We’ve got wars, food shortages, a housing crisis, pandemics, loss of women’s rights, loss of human rights, child trafficking, massive loss of biodiversity in plants and animals, another possible Trump presidency, domestic terrorists, and a handful of rich people who own more than the rest of the population to worry about… 😮💨
@Showroom7561 I guess the silver lining to us putting the scientists at the back of that line is we won’t have to worry about any of these for much longer.
The thing is… every one of these issues could be addressed if people didn’t vote against their own interests.
Politicians don’t care (enough to make a meaningful change) as long as most people still vote for them.
Corporations don’t care as long as most people still buy their stuff.
Most people don’t care as long as their own personal choices won’t solve the problem.
Guess we can try again in another 60 million years or so?
Cool. Thanks.
