It becomes somewhat of a catch 22, doesn't it.

If you did use your mind you would look at this in a new light, but as you refuse to do it you will go to your grave in the comfort of knowing that, at least your status quo, was preserved, to the bitter end.

Ethan, no matter what, reseeding trees and 'transitioning' isn't enough. We need a global fossil ban, and we need it done already. We don't have it and we don't have any real consensus on it either. Doesn't matter that we've known of the consequences since Arrhenius

So we're f*ed, and you should take it up with your politicians. Although that won't do much for changing peoples attitudes and ego when it comes to their own living standards and expectations. Especially when our media keeps on pushing out positive spins, although not only them to blame. Those studies can't be done without a positive spin on them it seems.


Everyone a defender Ethan

So who should we deride and blame today then?

How about Greta Thunberg?

Lauded by politicians that just loved to get selfies taken together with her, using it for all they were worth. Now derided by Israel as she does something our politicians won't. The worst thing about it hearing the same attitude presented, today, by a Swedish radio announcer, probably representing a majority of ignorant people here in Sweden.


Hope you enjoy

Still, as a sign of the times it probably won't come any clearer than this. The herd getting confused and worried, lashing out at those disturbing its peace, all before the stampede.

You have such funny expressions

council houses

"A council house, corporation house or council flat is a form of British public housing built by local authorities. A council estate is a building complex containing a number of council houses and other amenities "

'owned' and shared by citizens I presume, not by councils?

A pretty good idea, that one

Yes?

"The world's oceans are in worse health than realised, scientists have said today, as they warn that a key measurement shows we are "running out of time" to protect marine ecosystems."

Running out of time? Forget it, you don't have any time left.

You see, what's happening today is setting a time stamp on what will happen tomorrow, no matter what we do. Stretching decades into your future, and accelerating. Some thinking that you need a half century to really see the impacts of what's happening today. And that is if we just 'stop', today.
