TrueCost: Solution to the climate crisis.
 
Hey all you crazy diamonds,
 
 
It all seems just so daunting, so unutterably overwhelming. It’s tempting to succumb to the narcissism of paralysis, panic and despair.
 
 
But this is how we lose.
 
 
If you’re one of those people resigned to the prospect of apocalypse, here’s what you should do:
 
 
             1. Shut up.

             2. Get out of the way.
 
 
As for the rest of you, you can join those people all over the world who have decided that we actually can and will steer this ship of Earth well clear of the shoals ahead. There really are solutions to the crisis, and they’re readily available to all of us.
 
 
These small acts of defiance against institutional climate-change intransigence will not win the planetary endgame by themselves, but small acts of defiance can and will make a difference. They always do.
 
 
Every single politician, at every level, must be called to account, every day. But that’s not going to be enough.
 
 
Don’t wait. Don’t cling to the faint hope that the skeptics might be right. And don’t go all bleary-eyed and useless about humanity’s mistreatment of the planet either. Those are peacetime activities.
 
 
And this is something very much like war.
 
 
All you need to chose is who’s side you’re on.
