is it not completely obvious that we stand no chance here? the targets we are told about are pathetic and the chances that they will be achieved slight. If we were to level off so-called climate change, let alone reverse it, we would have to completely and fundamentally readdress the way we live our lives. I'm talking living in huts and working the land, not saving a few carrier bags a week or walking the kids to school. We are not about to kill Earth, it's more resilient than that, but we might eventually make it awfully tricky for us to inhabit it, which is probably the best thing to 'save the planet'. The truth is we're interested in saving ourselves, not the planet.
sorry for english, bit drunk.
