Series: On the Verge of Calamity

Climate change is well underway and poses the biggest threat humanity has ever faced. Luckily,we have the technology and resources to halt and protect ourselves. Unfortunately, we are not acting fast enough and are losing our only opportunity to prevent widespread, multi-generational calamity. However, there is still time to act but it will take informed, motivated and mobilized social movements to make that happen. I hope this article will be of service in that regard.

By separating nature from economics, we have been walking blindly into great tragedies.

Despite international efforts to reverse climate change, some still do not believe it is happening or should not be a cause for alarm. These people feel disconnected from the Earth because of a skewed understanding of who should be responsible for it. Surprisingly, others have well-founded beliefs, choosing to forego the responsibility because they are “not of the earth.”
