Fostering Ecological Hope

Today from Margaret Swedish:

Just listened to this scary audio report on the BBC website, dated Jan. 10.  To listen, go here, then click on the audio report, “This is the worst case scenario.”

Keep in mind, as you listen, that he is speaking in centigrade.  When he talks about summer temps in the 40s in London, he means triple digit heat waves in Europe — by the middle of the century.

This is about carbon emissions.  And I have to say again, voluntary measures, or measures to protect US economic growth, will not, cannot save us.  We must move rapidly to sharp, drastic, mandatory carbon emission reductions.  And each of us must be willing to do our extraordinary part — with zeal, gusto, and even joy.
