We fiddle about, time marches on and the situation worsens

On a geological time-scale, humans have only been plodding about the earth for an infinitesimal small amount of time.

The Earth is 4.6 billion years old. - let’s scale that to 46 years.

Since the Industrial Revolution
began three centuries ago, we have
destroyed half the world's forests.

We have been here for 4 hours.

Our industrial revolution began 1 minute ago.

In that time, we have destroyed more than 50% of the world’s forests.

And on a human time-scale, we have irreparably damaged our atmosphere; an atmosphere that ensures our climate is habitable for humans.

Unless we change our behaviour dramatically, and quickly, our time on earth is limited.
