I hope the point here is made to those who can't see our planet, because of human mismanagement and exacerbation of the mismanagement by those too blinded by greed, is in danger and an ELE of our own making is slowly building toward irrevocability.

I appreciate your interpretation.


I also think it's about us looking anywhere in the universe beyond personal ego, tribes and borders for anyone who's on Team Humanity to get moving.

I've been reading Lead for the Planet -- 5 Practices for Confronting Climate Change (2020), by Rae André, and trying to grapple.

Just sayin'. Not discouraging you, just saying that reading a review of it first might cost you less and you' still get the main ideas, with less abstraction.

The real show stopper is The Uninhabitable Earth (2019) by David Wallace-Wells. It's worth your time and money, and has the most up-to-date informative on the problems and solutions, imo.

from a very early age. I still read a book in hand. I have reading patience. None when it comes to the destroyers of Planet Earth. I will find Wallace-Well's fare...
