"We are ALL to blame...we have no one to blame but ourselves” for increased global warming, rising seas, extreme weather, loss of biodiversity, toxic environments and climate change. So what are we going to do about it? Wait to die?
Its not enough to make your voices heard by power they aren't listening you have to become the voices of power and that is not through violence, warfare, terrorism...Climate change is the defining crisis of our time and it is happening even more quickly than we feared. Despite what the leaders of nations declare in actuality no substantive movement to stop the rate of change has occurred. Even with the knowledge that global warming will affect Europe and Australia first with the existential threat to human life their the pundits are silence. Literally boiling frogs and the world watches it in HD and in tik Tok stitches!
Now cicadas are running amok in the southeastern USA and bees are almost nonexistent in China yet where is the echoing thunder of a billion voices of reason...crickets? Yes! the loudest voices you will here about climate effects will most likely come from crickets because global warming affects the volume of crickets! Crickets respond to temperature changes. If you listen, they'll tell you about the weather! The frequency of their chirping actually varies according to the temperature. For instance, the higher the temperature, the faster the chirping rate is, it is also amplified in the fall because it is the crickets' last push to reproduce before winter.
Who else can we blame lets look at the animals who will do better than us, we know that the larger species and species high on the food chain will be more adversely affected so animals and organisms with lower positions in the food chain, such as insects and rodents, will fare better in a warming world... "Put another guinea pig on the barbie would ya?"
According to the United Nations Website "No corner of the globe is immune from the devastating consequences of climate change. Rising temperatures are fueling environmental degradation, natural disasters, weather extremes, food and water insecurity, economic disruption, conflict, and terrorism. Sea levels are rising, the Arctic is melting, coral reefs are dying, oceans are acidifying, and forests are burning. It is clear that business as usual is not good enough. As the infinite cost of climate change reaches irreversible highs, now is the time for bold collective action."
Sounds great! So what collective action will all the nations take? Well this is the answer..."Collective action problem refers to an aggregation of individual actions which together produce an outcome that is not intended at the level of an individual action. It cannot be solved by any one agent acting unilaterally. Instead, climate change action must be enacted and supported by numerous agents." So the collective action we will take is not to engage in any collective action! In short its up to each of us to do it for ourselves in whatever way we can or sit like boiling frogs! Waiting for the entrée'?...oops I think its us!
