Is Covid-19 the Silver Bullet For a Stable Climate?
We always knew that climate change was going to be painful…
Something changed recently when I saw a map comparing the air over China before and after the country went into lockdown in an attempt to contain the COVID-19 Coronavirus. Slowly over the course of a week, I began to see the issue of climate change in a whole new light.
This might sound radical but please hear me out.
The path towards a stable climate will need to run through some kind of economic collapse. It will have nothing to do with a more sustainable business model or more progressive government action — both of those approaches have failed. Let’s face it — people just don’t feel the urgency to change how they live their lives and government is too weak and/or corrupt to lead the way.
Wait — stop with this negativity!
Perhaps you believe that we’ll find a technological fix like carbon capture or maybe you’re a believer in the ability of solar, wind, tidal and algae as a basket of renewable…
