The US needs to value pure water more than crude oil
If there is no technological fix today for climate change, when? This attitude of a better technology tomorrow is similar to the alchemist of old, who thought, despite all the odds, that they would one day find an elixir that turns base metal into gold.
The world’s scientists are calling the strongest possible SOS signal on climate change, extinctions are going on unprecedented, habitat loss and the degradation of water, land and air is out of control. UK alone will lose many bird species in the next decade and one in five wildflowers is becoming endangered. Here in France where I live, the last endemic bear was shot a few years ago, the whales are losing their hunting grounds at the same time as our world’s forests are referred to as timber inventories. There seem to be only two types of people who believe nothing is wrong with this picture - complete idiots or national US economists.
