I’ve just finished reading this article on Medium by Umair Haque. I think everyone should read it. It paints a bleak picture of the future unless we do something immediately.
Umair Haque says,
“2022. It was the year that climate change became frighteningly real. Europe burned, Pakistan drowned. A mega-heatwave stretched from China to America, reaching every corner of the globe. Rivers ran dry, and crops failed.
One of the most urgent tasks our civilization faces is educating people about the reality of climate change. After too long, spent in a haze of denial, largely coming from the far right, funded by Big Energy, it’s undeniable now that climate change is real, and it’s here. And yet really understanding it? Most people, even at this juncture, have far too little awareness of what it really means.”

I completely agree, Viv, that most people are in denial (or uninformed) about the monstrous threat of climate change. Catastrophic weather events are only the tip of the iceberg. Starvation, economic collapse, huge migrations of climate refugees, and vanishing access to water. And then there’s all that desperation which often leads to violence. It’s terrifying.

I think it’s too much of a threat for most people to take on board.

Yeah, I do to. It feels so huge – something that governments must do. But it will become personal shortly, and already has for many.

Umair Haique is a bit of a doom-sayer, but I think he’s right on this one.
