Coming or Going? (Love Earth or Lose It?)
The worse the climate catastrophe gets, the more convinced I become that we have to decide whether we love our earth or we do not. If we love our earth, we respect it. If we respect it, I’m afraid we may have no choice but to live, work and play locally so that harms that have been externalized around the globe for decades can be readily observed and stopped locally by local law. The sooner we reorient ourselves this way, the less jarring the transformation will be. And if we survive, it’s possible we will be just as happy or even happier than we are today.
