Something inspirational:
“There is a chasm between a world that quickly breaks the link between modern economic growth and carbon emissions, and a world that fails to do so. The side of the chasm we are now on is a dangerous place. It would be reckless beyond the normal human irrationality for us to stay where we are.”
ROSS GARNAUT, Superpower: Australia's Low-Carbon Opportunity
Thank you for writing about these important issues on your blog. We can't stay where we are as we are on the platform about to board a train with a one-way ticket to environmental disaster land.
The worrying thought is, the prevailing view that it's a stop-over on the way to economic growth land. The truth is, it's a permanent stop over and one with no onward journey.
We need to reassess our priorities and put the environment first, while we still can.
Your response is again spot on. I am happy to leave your response with you, suffice to say, it's time to take action, before as you say quite rightly, before we still can.
