First substantive post, so I'll get right to the point. I think solving climate change is about courage. We're at the top of a ski hill, deciding what slope to take. We have all the tools and expertise to navigate the steepest slope. We need the guts to use them.
I talk about "The Scientific Case for Courage" in this video from last year.
Thank you Simon. I agree with you, and feel you have nailed it.
The barrier to action is not ignorance. The gap is in commitment, in creativity and, most of all, in courage. Our inter-connection and inter-dependence can no longer be denied.
The kind of courage found in To Kill A Mockingbird, where Atticus tells his son Jem why he wanted him to go read to Mrs Dubose.
The kind of courage borne of sure knowledge of our interdependence.
