I don't know , it seems there were some frightfully handsome
looking young men in a Bentley advertisement doing something test-
wise which was supposed to drastically reduce car exhaust without
sacrificing performance. There are also great recent strides in
environmentalism and diplomacy (a plan to reduce soot from cooking
fires in india and china for example). It seems that the flashy and
grandiose or the small and humble seem to generate the best
advertising, the roof of plants seemingly somewhere in between.
My issue is that I dont think the structures curently in place are
capable of responding quickly enough, there are a hundred different
species of insect on the way out in Ireland and we're a tiny little
island, our ecosystems are not yet on the brink of collapse but if
the insect population drops drastically enough, pollinisation will
become a problem, our seasonal cycles are phase shifting, flowering
early, birds coming late. The data is there, people way more educated
on these issues than me have tried and are trying to get proper
legislation government is still procrastinating. I dunno bout you but
I dont know many in the market for a Bentley at the mo, diplomacy
and"climate justice" are important but I dont think the framework
they provide is nearly extensive enough, if they do accomplish
anything it's on political and not environmental terms and generally
too late, I would like us to be prepared for the future preferably
without an organization that will slow progress for political
reasons, human lives particularly in the third world will be
sacrificed by inaction on our part and further diversion of attention
via media etc...
