The Essential Question
The essential question on display as we all watch the COP repeat empty promises for too little too late that many have now is how to we prepare the young for the apparently inevitable collapse of civilization in the face of an absence of adequate political will, for whatever reason it is absent.
This is the heart question. And before we prepare anyone else, it might be prudent to prepare ourselves.
Going to Glasgow
I think this is our last year to have a hope of surviving climate change, and even many, many of us are already casualties, as are so many other species.
Everyone I know has the COP26 Glasgow on their minds, even though the consensus is that fossil fuel corporations have a stranglehold on governmental outcomes which could reverse or even halt the worst of the ecological damage and therefore little will come of the meeting.
