I read Nov 28th Patrick Crewdson says print media should make human made Climate change a serious subject.
I knew this back in the 1970s when Gordon Rattray Taylor brought out a popular book on the subject but yet
we are still waiting for popular movement to rise. This may be happening if the new blood in the US Congress can float the Green New Deal but part of the problem is The Media did not find the right tag, they used Global Warming and then Climate Change, Social Media has the Anthropocene Outbreak which is more to the point, it is the cause not the Symptom but most modern journalists can’t deal with that.
Here is a thought, if we are to take this problem seriously we have to be honest with each other Humans are what is known in science as an outbreak species.
However we are highly adaptive and cleaver, if we pull together on this and stop mindlessly humiliating each other we could turn the ship around.
Seriously what else have we got to do ? Build more Walls?
