The global crisis is upon us. We need to act early enough to avoid extreme peaks that are coming. OK, this is stated in response to the coronavirus outbreak. But there is an even bigger crisis coming – a global environmental breakdown. The same warning applies. We need to act early (now!) to avoid (or at east mitigate) the coming disaster.
The global response to the coronavirus epidemic shows that we can change global lifestyles dramatically and quickly. This happens when our own survival is at stake!
Those who resist the environmental changes needed often say – it is too disruptive and would be too costly. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us that when needed, money can be quickly forthcoming. The fear of future debt and disruption is overridden by the fear of the pandemic. And this is just a prelude of a much bigger crisis that is coming – the global environmental collapse.
