My wife and I thought we would dead long before the impacts of climate change became dire. But fires and droughts and heatwaves here in the US are impacting our lives and our homes and our wallets more and more. And the climate crisis is just one of the many crises caused by human overpopulation and resource overshoot. We are paving over wild places and killing off the species that used to share the planet with us. We are overusing and polluting our water. We are having more and more conflicts with our fellow humans. It is going to get rough.
Since reading his book several years ago I have considered David Wallace-Wells one of the most important voices on the subject of climate change. But his answer to the question on the value of individual action is a great disappointment. He seems to believe that political action is more valuable. But for us to rely on politicians and large corporations to solve the problem while we continue to live our lives as though we can do nothing about it is childish and self serving and ultimately suicidal. Should we all stop voting because it’s just one out of millions? If we keep buying the product they will keep drilling for it!
It is difficult to talk in this strategic obscurantism, and talks are not reserved to deep ecology since today ecology will be overpassed. David has points in global solving issues.
this video has a lot less viewings than necessary and I hope it would. its sad that videos with nobody talking about nonsense have a lot more views on UA-cam than this. very sad. we will pay for it eventually for our ignorance, avoidance, and denial.
