Climate Emergency

George Monbiot - he writes about what no-one want to read or hear

'Sustaining our life-support systems means doing less of almost everything. But this notion – that should be central to a new, environmental ethics – is secular blasphemy.'


In this arictcle Monbiot talks about the way we look at the different problems for ecology and biodiversity, deforestation, over-fishing, pollution and all the stresses that human activity places on our environment. And how these ar considered individually but that: "Nature recognises no such divisions. As Earth systems are assaulted by everything at once, each source of stress compounds the others."


In this article he talks of impacts that are laying waste to entire living systems. How our actions and desires create the the terrible crisis our planet is in now.

"We have no hope of emerging from this full-spectrum crisis unless we dramatically reduce economic activity."
