Quote of the Day: 150 Year Returns

"In return for 150 years of explosive consumption, much of which does nothing to advance human welfare, we are atomising the natural world and the human systems that depend on it."

That has a way of putting climate crisis in perspective.  George Monbiot spells out the the fix we're in with "There Is No Stopping Climate Change Unless We Can Mobilize Against Plutocracy."

Good read for this Solstice Day, the shortest day of the year for us in the Northern Hemisphere tilted away from the sun.
