Fifty years ago, if the right decisions had been made, today might look very different. We likely would not be talking about a climate crisis or a climate emergency.
But the right decisions were not made then. Instead, our capitalist rulers pushed ahead with their growth-at-any-cost mantra. And now we face certain disaster.
There are still actions to be taken, a struggle to be waged, in hopes of making the collapse of society slightly less costly for some people in some places. We must engage in that fight.
But suffering is inevitable, great suffering, both for humans and for the natural environment that our industry and our consumerism are in the process of destroying.
