If we change the way we live to a point of total transformation, we may cut in half all of societies problems after all many of our problems are linked to another.
I was browsing Google news (Friday 13th march 2009) when I cane across this article.
It’s a report by the Guardian on the emergency summit in Copenhagen on climate change.
Scientist’s such as Nicholas Stern, economist and Katherine Richardson, a climate scientist at the University of Copenhagen, who organised the three-day summit, concluded with this summary:
“The climate system is already moving beyond the patterns of natural variability within which our society and economy have developed and thrived. These parameters include global mean surface temperature, sea level rise, ocean and ice sheet dynamics, ocean acidification, and extreme climate events. There is a significant risk that many of the trends will accelerate, leading to an increasing risk of abrupt or irreversible climate shifts.”
The Summit concluded:
“There is no excuse for inaction. We already have tools and approaches – economic, technological, behavioural management to deal effectively with the climate change challenge. But they must be vigourously and widely implemented.”
What do you think? What’s the next thing you could do?
