Two planets are talking to each other. One looks like a beautiful blue marble and the other a dirty brown ball. “What on earth happened to you?” the beautiful planet asks the brown one. “I had Homo sapiens,” answers the brown planet. “Don’t worry,” says the blue planet. “They don’t last long.” That's a joke from the climate summit in Glasgow where, as noted by Thomas Friedman , the mood is generally dire . The evidence on Climate Change was overwhelming when we signed the Paris Climate Accords in 2012 and even more so when Trump and his ilk tore up those accords in 2017 and now, on the cusp of 2022, the evidience that this planet is heading for a horrific crisis is incontravertable and there are no more deniers – just blamers . What there are still not is fixers – no one is doing enough to address this crisis and it's gotten to the point where you have to consider that it's too late to stop the Global Warming that will have catastrophic effects on our environment so perhaps the money is better spent moving the human race underground or something – to hopefully live out the damage in a cooler environment. Why waste money preventing a catastrophe we can no longer avoid, right? …
