| Mobilizing for the Climate Crisis |
Yes, it is a crisis. Global warming - climate change - the climate crisis. Skeptics try to play on the minimal uncertainty that remains, but in no other area of our lives would calls for inaction be taken seriously given what we now know. We mobilized as a nation for World War II and we need to do so now. Climate change is a different kind of crisis, but it is no less serious. Harm is already being done [1]. The challenges are serious. The effort is not trivial. But neither is it impossible. And we will be better for it - a more efficient and healthy economy; an economy for the twenty-first century.Read the links from this page - about the tipping point, about the need to mobilize our society. We can do it, but only if we all plan, strategize and share the effort. Read about some plans to mobilize [2]. |
