(9,895 posts)It is so far past time to act that we are rapidly running out of time period....and no one cares.
Makes me so mad and depressed at the same time.
Humanity is going to be its own demise, along with millions of other species and life on Earth in general.

Only hope is the get to the mid-levels. If the cops and prosecutors start fearing the future, maybe we'll see some CEOs in the pen.

(11,535 posts)He's far from wrong, though. Even a lot of people that care about climate change don't really know just how bad it is. Rising oceans get a lot of the "press," but they are just the tip of the iceberg.
An oceanographer said that, if all carbon-based energy disappeared tomorrow, it would take the oceans 100,000 years to recover. And the plastic masses in the oceans are a symptom as much as a cause. Plastic has been found in the guts of fish in even the deepest waters in which they exist. Wildfires will become uncontrollable.
Even meat is a huge problem. I saw a short doc. that described it as the "Best Worst Thing In The World."
We aren't going to wake up one day and see clear skies and sparkling water. If humans are decisive, able to make the hard choices and stick to them, and in no small measure lucky, several generations down the road might live to see them, though.
