  • The solution to climate change is climate change, it will reduce the human population by billions and bring the environment back into balance in a few millenia.

    This is not a scientific or engineering problem, we have all the tools and knowlege we need, this is a human development problem. We’ve not evolved fast enough. You see the same insanity with nonsense like relegion, or the social and economic systems we’ve violently used to organise ourselves on the planet.

    I used to think the top global environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and climate change. I thought that with 30 years of good science we could address these problems. But I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy, and to deal with these we need a spiritual and cultural transformation, and we scientists don’t know how to do that." -James Speth
