The trees are wilting

@badminton It is already too late to prevent climate catastrophe and has been since before I was I old enough to vote. The best we can hope for is to mitigate the intensity and shorten the duration. It will take a global effort.

I doubt we as a species are capable of following through. I expect life as we know it to be over in another decade or two.

A lot of people are going to die and a lot more are going to suffer to a greater degree than people of the past few generations.

What is the saying? To paraphrase:

When you've chopped down all the trees, poisoned all the water, and polluted the air you will realize: you can't eat money.

@Doomflower I agree it is too late to avoid destructive effects of climate change. What the govts of the world need to do ASAP is drastically cut carbon emissions and plant as many trees as possible.

@badminton planting trees is a drop in the bucket. Many planting projects fail due to poor planning.

As I said... it is far too late. The nations will not pull together on this and that is why humanity as we know it is utterly doomed.

@hunkalove At least here in So.Ca. we had some rain today. We are still in the midst of the worst drought in about a hundred years. Dang!
