This pandemic is a faint shadow of the real crisis that's coming, climate change. The idea that the world will just go back to normal once we have our miracle medicine is fundamentally flawed. That's because "normal" was a speeding freight train to environmental collapse. There is an opportunity in our current tragedy, for as sad as the COVID death toll is, it will be small potatoes to the crisis that's coming. Maybe this was unthinkable in the west until now, but how's your grocery shopping been over the past few months, seen any shortages? You ain't seen nothin' yet. No Ecosystem == No Soil == No Food.
- unnouinceput 6y ago+1, 100% agree on climate change. As for coming back to former 2019 status, I did said some changes will happen, just not that radical ones. Hopefully this will include slow down of climate change. Some things are better even now, for example destruction of ozone layer and the hole over Australia/Antarctica, it's smaller now then was in 90's.
