Our leaders are ignoring global warming to the point of criminal negligence. It's unforgivable : The Guardian
"The problem – and it’s an existential threat both profound and perverse –
is that those who lead us and have power over our shared destiny are
ignoring global warming to the point of criminal negligence. Worse than
that, their policies, language, patronal obligations and acts of bad
faith are poisoning us, training citizens to accept the prospect of
inexorable loss, unstoppable chaos, certain doom. Business as usual is
robbing people of hope, white-anting the promise of change. That’s not
just delinquent, it’s unforgivable."
"It’s time to make sharp demands of our representatives, time to remove
those who refuse to act in our common interest, time to elect people
with courage, ingenuity and discipline, people who’ll sacrifice pride,
privilege and even perks for the sake of something sacred. Because
there’s something bigger at stake here than culture wars and the
mediocrity of so-called common-sense. It’s the soil under our feet, the
water we drink, the air we breathe."
