Climate change - bad news

Jul 25 2021 The Guardian Interview with Gaya Herrington

Yep, it’s bleak, says expert who tested 1970s end-of-the-world prediction

A researcher looked at the 1972 MIT study, The Limits to Growth, and found that basically the MIT scientists were right, the future looks bleak, we should have done something decades ago. We did not and now we are seeing the effects of climate change.

But, the positive message here is that we still can do something to avoid the worst, we just need to do it now and we need to do it right. Sustainability is the the way forward.

A quote from Herrington: “We’re totally capable of making huge changes, and we’ve seen [that] with the pandemic, but we have to act now if we’re to avoid costs much greater than we’re seeing.”
