Re: Living off the Planet (none / 0)

"Delegates gather in Rio to commemorate 20 years of nothing happening since a UN Summit where nothing happened."
I just hope I'm far enough away from the shit storm when reality really hits the fan. Nothing good is going to happen for the world's environment with 7 billion plus folks gnawing at the planet. The sooner catastrophe happens, the more resources and biodiversity will left for whatever comes after - that's the extent of my optimism.

I could argue that no catastrophe is coming, except "rolling waves of catastrophe" that are already upon us, and will continue gathering strength.

In any case, no matter where you are, we're all connected in this disaster together.

And only a change in consciousness can mitigate the rolling waves. Erowid. The political changes will follow.
