One of the problems we have is people not being able to take a long term view. Everything has always to work within 5 years... Result: nothing is done.
What I wrote should have started at least 30 years ago. As the saying goes, the next best time to start is now.

- NotPaidToPost 7y agoIt's going to be hard to do anything with the projected 60% population rise by the end of the century, though... Most of the environmental damage is down to our growing population gobbling up resources. Of course we should do things to get results quickly but we also have to look longer term if we want to see sustainable results.
- adrianN 7y agoYou're right but in my opinion, we'll either figure out how to live carbon neutral more or less regardless how many people we have in the next two decades, or catastrophic climate change will ensure that the projected population rise will never happen.
