We've forced species so near to extinction that they need to be "brought back", we've had such a profound effect on the environment that there is essentially nowhere left that does not show the impact of humankind. We've made the air and water cleaner in highly specific ways whilst continuing to pollute globally and watch the developing world repeat our mistakes on a larger scale. We saved the ozone layer yet have thus far done nothing substantive as far as carbon is concerned. We've diligently avoided any serious discussion of population pressure on the planet.
We know how to do these things, we know how to avoid the mistakes of the past. Yet we are not doing them. How do you propose getting the international community to do that work?
