I am very glad to hear a new urgency in reporting on the planetary crisis.
But if we fail to understand *why* the silence has been so deafening, for so long — and continues still in so many parts of our public debate — we cannot understand what the actual task ahead of us is.

The same predatory delay, denial, downplaying & boundary policing that kept that silence are still at play today, sabotaging plans for action, goalwashing the urgency of crisis & triangulating strategies to deploy incremental changes to protect the unsustainable from real change.
You can't ignore the history and start fresh now. It doesn't work that way.

We live still in the Interval of Predatory delay, and nothing worth doing can be accomplished until we end it.
