It's too late': David Suzuki says the fight against climate change is lost.

40. Mo' people, mo' problems.

I am glad that the “white night is coming around the corner” narrative are starting to end. It’s been too late for a long time. I work in an area of sustainability, but it’s been so freaking glaringly apparent and it’s been a great frustration because everybody is scared to make that announcement fearing that humanity will just veer towards faster destruction.

We can blame governments and they certainly could’ve been true leaders in this, but we have to blame ourselves as a species. 8 BILLION people all desiring more convenience and living longer than we are designed has given us a die with the most toys goal.

The greed, the excessive waste and pollution, the electing people we’d rather ‘have a beer with’ than someone who’s an educated visionary. Not seeing the reich wing assault back from the Lee Atwater days.

We had our chance with Al Gore. But we let them let Florida take it. We paid attention to amusing lies (he invented the internet) rather than his deserved alarm of what was happening to the planet. We tackled acid rain and the ozone and won, but for some reason the fossil fuel foes of global “warming” were able to thwart progress that would have hurt their business model. Money and greed won the battle but they have lost us the war.

We need to lower the birth rate quickly if there’s any chance of surviving the new normal. But you cannot have this kind of population explosion, even if the birth rates are low right now they need to be even lower. We need to get the population down by at least half. Very few want to listen to that unfortunately but not having kids is the most responsible thing you can do.
