It is as clear as it gets. Scientists are warning us that we have just over a decade to correct the course of global warming. We fail, we die.
In 12 years we might just be able to make it. Unfortunately, I am pretty sure that we won’t. And the reason is simple: we are a short-term society.
Now, at this point one may be tempted to start arguing over whether this is all anthropogenic or simply cyclical in nature. The truth is probably nuanced. But that would be a waste of precious time. If somebody had to warn you that you have 12 seconds to duck an oncoming bullet, would you spend time discussing whether you are the intended target or whether it’s just a ricochet?
