Climate

A powerful editorial by George Monbiot of the Guardian.

I often try to see the world’s actions through the lens of an alien race observing us from outside, which is a similar thought experiment to the article’s.

That lens helps surface all our contradictions, hypocrisy, idiosyncrasies, tribalism, and collective inability to fight the greatest Moloch of all times

“Our dying earth” is a bit hyperbolic no? US+EU carbon emissions peaked years ago, the fast growing emitter is China

Isn’t which humans are doing the most environmental damage in this moment kind of irrelevant in a global issue that’s been brewing for two centuries?

So long as our global CO2E emissions are at dangerous levels and rising instead of falling dramatically; and so long as the rate of species extinction is 1000s of times higher than the natural background rate, and rising, with no sign of radical change on the horizon. 

No. I don’t think “dying earth” is hyperbolic.
