Before we examine this question let me state categorically it will not be Donald Dump of the USA that will rule.
—————————-
There were two dominating powers the USA and Russia but now there is a new power China.
The USA with Donald is all but withdrawn from policing the world.
When the USSR collapsed it was left outside any contribution to world politic, which it resents to this day.
However non of this matters because one in five people worldwide will be forced to endure a life-threatening “new normal” if governments don’t act with urgency. Beyond the distraction of war, what we are about to discover with climate change is unimaginable.
The question is:
Are we all so self-centred that we are going to stay silent, while the planet is destroyed for the sake of profit.
Are we or our governments concerned?
Verbally yes. Taking Action Not.
The recent results of Cop 30 bears witness to this.
No matter who you’re are, what nationality you are, what you believe in, it is pathetic that we as a species (who are supposed to be the most intelligent on the planet ) cannot agree that the climate is worth while investing in for our collective future.
We are hurtling toward climate chaos.
The planet’s vital signs are flashing red.
The consequences of human-driven alterations of the climate are no longer future threats but are here now.
The window to prevent the worst outcomes is rapidly closing.
These recent developments emphasize the extreme insufficiency of global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mark the beginning of a grim new chapter for life on Earth.
The last few years have seen surface temperature, ocean temperature, and sea ice extent records broken by extraordinary margins.
With the world economy expanding by approximately 3.5% over the previous year
Although this growth is often celebrated as a sign of progress, continued economic expansion remains largely coupled with increased resource consumption, ecological degradation, and increased greenhouse gas emissions.
Two-thirds of warming since 1990 has been attributable to the wealthiest 10% because of high-consumption lifestyles, high per capita fossil fuel use, and investments.
Taken together, these trends suggest humanity is in a state of ecological overshoot—a state in which resources are consumed faster than they can be replenished.
Seven of the eight globally quantified safe and just planetary boundaries have been transgressed, highlighting both overshoot and deepening justice concerns.
Reducing ecological overshoot would help mitigate socioenvironmental pressures, but would require both cutting emissions and rethinking the consumer society while transitioning to a sustainable economy within safe and just Earth system boundaries.
At this moment and time there is no hope of achieving anything near what is required.
All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
