In the U.S., a huge portion of the debate about what to do about the climate crisis is taken up with cautions about moving too fast, threats of lost quality of life, the risk that sub-optimal policies could cost the economy, calls for more study etc.
This is all predatory delay.
This is all predatory delay.
The facts: we simply can't move too fast, given the magnitude of the threats we face; our survival is more threatened than our quality of life; when you count externalities and opportunity costs, every delay brings huge costs; we know more than enough to begin rapid action today.
We don't have anything like honest debates about the planetary crisis we're in, or about what we can do to meet it.
We need to change that.
We need to change that.
